There is help for depression.

If you are experiencing signs of depression, know that there is a solution. Counseling can give you concrete steps you can take to change how you feel. Counseling techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and even standard talk therapy can help you overcome depression. All of these help you make changes in your life that impact your mood. A counselor can help you figure out what changes are going to help you feel better.

Why am I depressed?

There can be many reasons for the cause of your depression, and depression is usually something that develops over time. Often, we have a combination of life events and continuing difficulties that lead to an increased feeling of stress and sadness. For some, it can also stem from an increase in personal factors like family history, severe medical illness or drug, and alcohol use. We also can experience depression due to changes in our neurochemistry and our genetics.

Is it hopeless for me?

It can feel overwhelming when dealing with depression. When you first look at it, the changes you need to make can seem so big, but the truth is that you only need to make small changes over time to overcome depression. These small lifestyle changes impact your brain. You begin to stimulate your nerve cells to form new more positive neuropathways. Our counselors can help you figure out the little changes that you need to make to help you create more positive feelings in your life.
