Depression Counseling in Lake Wylie, SC.

Treatment plans are not a one size fits all. I like a mixture of small buildable goals, small changes, and easy ways to increase comfort during a depressive episode. When a client is feeling better I like to discuss different systems we can put in place to prevent or decrease the severity of another depressive episode. I also like to use a combination of Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person Centered Therapy.

Depression can leave you feeling stuck and unmotivated. Reaching out and starting the therapy process will support you in better understanding the causes of your symptoms. We will unpack the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual contributors of your depression, develop new habits to help pull you out of the lows, and help restore your confidence in yourself. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches to develop your personalized treatment plan and make the way forward clear for you. Please reach out through phone or email to connect and further discuss your needs.

Depression often has biological, emotional, and relational components to it. It is important to address all of those for maximum care. There are very practical ways to address the biological/physical manifestations of depression. Determining how the brain is involved in the depression is important. How the body is functioning plays a significant role. Emotionally, there may be experiences or dynamics that need to be sorted through by addressing how the past affects the present well-being, and the dynamics of how we relate to self and others, and the depression. Being connected in healthy relationships is also an important part of healing. We look at the whole picture in the process.
