Depression Counseling in Hartland, WI.

Being sad is not the same as depression, that overwhelming feeling that one may experience without a known cause. Coupled with anxiety, one may feel hopeless and not recognize the opportunities around him or her due to lack of motivation or self-concept. Treatment includes an awareness of one's self and guiding one through the hills and valleys of depression, learning to recognize triggers, and finding ways to cope through the most difficult times.

Depression when left untreated can greatly impact a person's function in life. I work with people in helping them understand the thoughts of their pasts and any dysfunctional beliefs. We work on creating new thoughts, positive ones, and new empowering beliefs. Our minds are powerful, and the best way to combat depression, is changing the mindset first.

Depression is one of the leading mental health issues. Due to our society, there is despair due to economic strain, relationships, and other environmental and biological issues. It is important that the causation of depression be dealt with. I will help the client to understand the root cause of the depression and work on coping skills that will help the client to learn how to deal with the triggers of depression.

Feeling sad? Crying and you can't explain why? Losing interest in activities you used to enjoy? Avoiding socializing? Feeling overly tired and just down? These are all signs of depression. Most people will feel somewhat depressed at some point in their lives and some people struggle with feelings of depression on a daily basis. It is OK to feel depressed. Now, let's work together to help you work your way out of depression and live a happier life.

My approach to treating depression is first to regard it as a constellation of symptoms, rather than as a singular symptom. Effective and life-changing treatment for depression includes lifestyle factors that affect overall health, understanding and altering environmental triggers, getting a sense of personal and family history and patterns, re-evaluating old beliefs that may no longer fit, and developing strong self-care skills. I can help you to move beyond the limiting beliefs and patterns, and get some traction on the path of really moving forward toward the life you want.
