Depression Counselling in Steinbach, MB.

Depression is a deeply painful experience. It robs us of hope & peace of mind. I know because depression is part of my own life experience & journey. Please keep 2 important truths in mind: 1. You are not alone. 2. There is hope for a better life. Don't give up. I will provide the support you need to move forward. I will make sure you get the medical help you need. We will explore with the life issues that give rise to your anxiety & depression. We will explore the thought patterns and life style that maintain your depression. A faithful saying: "If you keep doing what you've been doing and thinking what you've been thinking, you can expect to keep feeling the way you've been feeling."

When struggling with depressed moods, everything feels heavy and you lack a sense of meaning and purpose. Even the most simple tasks can feel impossible. If you find yourself turning to alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviours to cope with depressed moods, there is a way out. I help clients with addictions overcome the depressed moods causing them to turn to substances or addictive behaviours to cope. Everyone is different, so I work with you to develop a plan that fits your unique situation. If you are unsure where to start, send me a message. If I'm not the right fit, I can connect you to resources that will allow you to start getting help today, without having to wait.

Are you struggling to get out of bed, losing interest in once-loved activities or feeling helpless and hopeless? The lethargic and foggy shutdown of depression can make everything in life feel just a few inches out of reach. The good news is that depression is readily treatable. I would be glad to help you explore what is keeping your body stuck in numb disconnection. Next, we form a plan to help you back to your best self. Together we tackle here-and-now symptoms with strategies of mindfulness and CBT, while also untying old knots from the past with emotion-focused and inner-child work. The heaviness of depression is your body asking for care. Are you ready to answer its call?
