Depression Therapy for a brighter outlook on life

Depression is a normal thing we all go through from time to time because of losses, injustices, and abuse we have experienced from a broken world. When someone is clinically depressed, it can affect many different areas of a person’s life, including work, relationships, not wanting to be involved in activities they used to enjoy, and feeling great sadness or anger.

We will do an assessment to find the cause of this depression and then create a treatment plan specifically to address the depression, which could involve grief work, cognitive behavioral therapy, Bowenian family therapy, couples therapy, emotional regulation skills, and forgiveness work. We will assess for suicidal or homicidal ideation and address this in the best clinical manner to keep the client and others safe.

We will also look at whether medication is necessary for stabilization of the depression or whether the client can manage it while doing therapy. If the client or we believe they are unable to manage their depression, we will refer them to their primary care doctor or to a psychiatrist for medication management.
