Therapy for Depression

It is possible that “depression” can be hereditary and run in your family. It is also possible that it can be triggered by trauma. Life throws a lot at us and some of us may be born into adverse life circumstances. And that is OK. It is also OK to not be OK.

Depression is a common thing many people struggle with on a daily basis and is now much more accepted than in the past. This has allowed for more open conversations around depression and mental health and we encourage you to be part of the conversation for your own self-help.

And when you need a little extra support to help manage your depression, our friendly team of therapists and counselors are trained to help you cope and overcome what didn’t seem possible.

Types of Therapy for Depression and How Does it Help

People with depression commonly have difficulty concentrating on tasks and conversations. Some people abuse alcohol and drugs or overeat as a way of coping, causing them to develop other medical problems. Depressed people are also at increased risk for self-harm. Every case is unique and requires individual attention. There are different types of therapy for depression to consider where we can determine the best treatment plan for you, which can include or combine a number of effective approaches, such as:

• Talk Therapy
• Medication
• Adopting a healthier lifestyle

Our approach was developed to help address your unique situation. Therapy does not work as a 1-size fits-all which is why we take the time to invest and build a relationship with you, so we are able to align with what works best for you.
