Counseling In Florida: Depression Counselors

“The Impossible Task”…if you’ve ever struggled with depression you get it. Something that ought to be so easy; sending that email, taking a shower, making the kids lunch, or walking the dog feels as if it’s insurmountable. Well-meaning friends and family aren’t very helpful when they suggest things like, “Just get dressed and exercise. It’ll make you feel better.” I get it. Calling a therapist might be the hardest thing you ever do. If you can take this one step, we’ll walk the rest of the way together.

Sometimes we think of depression as being "stuck"or being "at the bottom of a pit." I believe that strategies for avoiding or withdrawing from the dull pain of depression often contain the very hooks that keep the blues rigidly in place. I work with you to explore the situational, contextual, and emotional aspects of your depression and collaborate with you to get unstuck, raise the bottom of the pit to a better place for you, and ban the blues for good.

Depression is a serious condition that can seriously impair the ability to perform everyday functions and it can also negatively affect several aspects of life. Through the therapeutic process I can help you address feelings of sadness, hopelessness and helplessness by identifying the underlying issues and/or negative or distorted thought patterns that may be contributing to depressive symptoms, recognizing needs, setting healthy boundaries, establishing healthy relationships, developing effective coping skills, and adopting a healthy lifestyle (i.e. nutrition, exercise, sleep, social support and self-care).

It can be difficult to accomplish anything when you are depressed. The smallest tasks seem impossible. Do you wish you could return to feeling like your normal self? I will help you uncover the habits, relationships, or events that have contributed to your depression. Being intentional about tuning into yourself, and a willingness to expand your comfort zone will be critical in this process. I will help you reclaim the parts of yourself that depression has stolen, and put frameworks into place to prevent it from happening again.
