Therapy for Depression

Depression can make even ordinary parts of life feel difficult. You may feel persistently sad, irritable, hopeless, or worthless. Activities you once enjoyed may no longer bring pleasure. Changes in sleep or appetite, low energy, and thoughts of death or suicide can also be signs that you need support. You do not have to face this alone.

Because physical health and mental health are connected, I may encourage you to speak with your medical provider about symptoms or medications that could be contributing to how you feel. When appropriate, a referral to a qualified prescriber can help you explore whether medication may be beneficial alongside counseling.

In therapy, we will make room for what you are experiencing and work together toward practical steps for healing. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Restoration Therapy to help you recognize the connections among your thoughts, feelings, past experiences, and responses to pain. We will also give attention to self-care and the daily habits that support your well-being.

For clients who desire it, we can bring the hope and truth of God’s Word into this work. Depression does not mean you have failed or that your faith is weak. Together, we can examine painful beliefs with compassion, seek what is true, and take steps toward renewed hope and wholeness.

What are you telling yourself about who you are, what you are facing, and what your future holds? Those thoughts can shape how you feel, but not every thought is true. Sometimes healing begins when we pause, question a painful thought, and make room for a second thought grounded in truth.

If you are struggling with depression, I invite you to reach out to discuss how counseling may help.
