Counseling and individual therapy are effective methods of treating depression. Understanding the role depression plays in your daily life is vital to overcoming this obstacle. It is a difficult journey to take alone as solitude compounds the problem. Join me as I break down the layers of depression and offer my evidence-based solutions to improve your quality of life.
Depression Therapy: Lasting Solutions
For many people, antidepressants are often the first line of defense against symptoms of depression. However, many of the psychotropic drugs on the market do not target the underlying causes of your depression. My approach to effective treatment consists of psychotherapy and group/individual counseling so that we can get to the root causes of your problems.
Many professionals in the field stand by a combination of drug therapy and psychotherapy, however, more peer-reviewed clinical studies show that medication is unnecessary if the sufferer receives the right kind of therapeutic assistance. (1)
At the Counseling Center For Growth And Recovery, I help my clients understand exactly what depression is and what it means to you so you are able to recognize the onset of future episodes before they occur. Gaining new skills or hobbies, as well as being able to challenge depressive thinking and behavior at the onset of symptoms, means that you can be confident about leading a depression-free lifestyle and enjoy your life to the fullest once again.
