Depression Therapy
Do You Feel Alone And Sad As You Move Through Each Day?
Are you feeling defeated and down in life? Do you lack an interest in things that you used to enjoy? Do you find yourself not wanting to engage in life anymore, even though you wish you did?
Maybe you feel lonely and misunderstood, even—or especially—around your loved ones. You may feel so sad that you can’t get yourself to do any of the activities that used to energize and excite you—you want to participate in these activities, but can’t find the motivation to get yourself moving. Or, perhaps you find yourself putting on a façade daily, doing the bare minimum to make it through your day and pretending that everything is okay, even though it’s not.
Is it difficult to see past the pain or loneliness clouding over your thoughts? Is there ever a feeling of heaviness on your chest that you can’t seem to break free from?
Or, are you a parent with a teen that is showing any of these signs of depression?
Whatever feelings you may have, do you wish that you or your teen could find a sense of happiness? Do you wish you could move past the pain, feel more present and start truly living your life?
Many People Feel Down Or Depressed
As frustrating and as painful as it is, depression is a lot more common than you might realize. If you’re dealing with depression, you might feel completely alone and hopeless because you just don’t know how to move forward. Like so many others, you might struggle just getting through the day, let alone engaging in activities or pursuing your goals.
Perhaps you’re going through a difficult life change or transition, such as losing a job or losing a loved one. When it feels as though your whole world has been suddenly turned upside down, it’s hard for anyone to find the desire to go on with daily life. You might have experienced a traumatic event that changed your whole perspective of yourself and your world, leaving you lost and unsure of how to move forward.
Or, you might just feel unsatisfied with your life so far and hopeless that it can change. Maybe you are struggling with finances or relationships in your life, and you can’t seem to find purpose or meaning. You may also struggle with self-esteem or self-love, and you just need help moving past those blocks so you can live a life full of joy.
It’s also common for teens to demonstrate signs of depression. As a parent, it can be devastating to watch your teen might act out or trudge through life without a sense of joy or happiness. It’s important to recognize that their struggle is not your fault—or theirs.
Even if life feels impossible right now, you are not alone. With depression therapy, you can begin to move forward and start engaging with life in a new way. At Couples And Family Counseling Center, we can help you or your teen break free from depression.
Depression Counseling Can Help You See Past Your Pain
In my practice, we work hard to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where adults and teens can get the support and the tools needed to heal.
Therapy can be intimidating, especially if you’ve never experienced it before, which is why we meet you with compassion and support as soon as you walk in the door. You might not understand what you’re going through or the emotions stirred by your experience. That’s okay. Counseling can help you make sense of those feelings so you can move past them.
Simply feeling connected to another person can help you find peace in whatever you’re going through, which is why therapy can be so successful. In sessions, we can help you see life’s possibilities and discover a sense of hope and direction.
If you’re a parent of a teenager who’s showing depression symptoms, we can give your child the skills and tools they need to work through difficult situations. Teen counseling is specifically tailored to adolescents and their needs.
You don’t have to go through this difficult time alone. With professional help, you can find joy, happiness and a deep sense of fulfillment.
You May Have Some Questions Or Concerns About Depression Therapy…
How do I know that depression treatment will work?
Therapy has helped so many people work through difficult situations and emotions. We understand that depression, by its very nature, can make the future feel hopeless and reaching out for help feel impossible. However, just by reading this page, you’ve already taken the very first step toward releasing this pain. You’ve shown that, at least in some small corner of your inner life, you believe things can be better.
Life can feel better, and you don’t have to keep struggling alone. Just opening up to your therapist can give you a sense of relief. Once you begin to understand what you’re going through and develop the tools to address your depression, you can start living life on your terms.
I just don’t have the energy or motivation to go to therapy…
When you are dealing with depression, it can feel nearly impossible to make that first call or go to that first appointment, let alone be vulnerable with someone you don’t know right away. But know that navigating life can start to feel much easier once you have someone to support you. With depression counseling, it is possible to overcome this pain and find the energy you need to become present in your life. And, there is nothing wrong with taking help from someone.
I don’t know if I feel hopeless because of depression, or because of the way the world really is.
You might feel like it’s impossible to find purpose because you can’t remember ever feeling anything but lost. You might not be able to comprehend the idea of happiness—in fact, you might fear that feeling happy is a sign that you’ve given up on your values, or that you’ve put on a pair of blinders.
The truth is, depression is a pair of blinders, too. It blinds you to the potential for satisfaction that’s out there. It makes it even more challenging to live in alignment with your values or follow your passions. Yes, it’s scary to imagine feeling something new. But, it is possible to see the world through a more realistic lens, with all its ups and downs.
There is hope that you will get through this. With the right support, you can find joy, purpose and freedom from this depression that has been weighing you down for too long.
