Depression Therapy

Depression. It is on the topic of news stories. It is plastered on billboards. Countless  commercials tout medications to fix it. It seems that depression is discussed and highlighted almost everywhere you turn. While discussions of depression are easy to find, the steps to explore and treat depression within your own body and mind sometimes feel much more challenging.

If you have made it here on your search for support and healing, welcome. Whether you found your way through a casual internet search or a courageous first step in seeking healing, we are glad you are here. 

So where should you start you start? 

Do you experience sadness or lack of energy that you just cannot seem to shake? Does it seem like everyone around you experiences more joy, excitement, and enthusiasm for life than you are presently experiencing? Do you find it hard to complete day-to-day tasks at work, at home, at school, or even in your basic hygiene and self-care routines? Some people even experience dark thoughts, feelings of hopelessness, or being stuck and may even contemplate death. 

While these are some of the most common symptoms of depression, the symptoms can be much more far-reaching impacting things like thought clarity, eating patterns, relational health, sleep quality, and overall satisfaction with life. 

If you have experienced or are experiencing any of the symptoms above, we are so glad you are here. You are not alone.  Depression is one of the most common mental or emotional health struggles. It is estimated that over 8% of the adult population experiences a major  depressive episode. (1) 

At our Arlington, TX-based therapy practice, we understand the challenge that depression can bring. If depression is keeping you from enjoying and experiencing the life that you desire, we are here to help.

Our team of therapist are ready to parter with you in your depression treatment journey. There is hope, and this feeling does not have to last forever.

We understand that starting therapy of any kind can be challenging, and we are here to address the barriers that may make therapy seem difficult to participate in. Here are a few of our most frequently asked questions:

+ Are there different types of depression?

+ Depression is a new thing for me, can depression therapy really help me?

  • Absolutely! For some people, depression does occur more prominently in certain seasons of life, time of year, or connected with specific life events like grief, transition, stress, or other forms of losses. Depression therapy can provide great benefits in managing and treating these types of depression symptoms. With depression therapy, the depression therapist can help you with cognitive or thinking pattern techniques, behavioral change strategies, emotional regulation techniques, and help you investigate if there are other underlying causes to be addressed.

+ Depression has been a lifelong struggle for me, can depression therapy really help me?

  • Yes. You too can benefit from quality depression therapy. This can be a frustrating and disheartening place to be. Many clients with more chronic or long last depression may even report things like “ I guess this is who I am, depressed.” A trained therapist can help those with more chronic depression symptoms manage those symptoms, evaluate for underlying mental health causes, and work towards helping you find the healthiest you.

+ What forms of therapy do you use for depression treatment?

+ My depression makes it hard for me to leave the house some days. How can participate in depression therapy?

  • We understand, and this is not a rare barrier to seeking treatment for depression. For some, depression can make leaving the house, showering, getting dressed and other basic life tasks feel almost impossible. Our office is equipped with online counseling options to help you overcome these barriers to getting the depression treatment that you are looking for. All you have to do is find a confidential space with internet access and click the link that is sent to you at your scheduled appointment time. It is that easy.
