Depression Counseling in Kenmore, WA.

Research shows that the most effective treatment for depression is psychotherapy. Depression can range from feeling down to major symptoms such as having trouble even getting out of bed or contemplating suicide (if you have suicidal thoughts or plans, call the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1-800-273-8255). Online counseling is effective for depression because it is easy to access: you can start treatment without even leaving the house.

Depression is one of the most common problems bringing individuals into therapy. I my therapy practice, I view depression as an emotional signal that some significant need is not being met in a person's life. Though compassionate and curious reflection, you will be guided to understand what your unique depressive signals are telling you about what you need and will be supported in adapting new ways to meet those needs that leave you feeling better and more resilient towards depression in the future.
