BEATING DEPRESSION

 Depression happens to us all at different times in our lives, and when it does it often feels like no one understands.  If you’re suffering from depression, you need to seek help.  Please don’t wait.  The good news is you don’t have to be stuck feeling this way.  Help is available to get you feeling better and finding others who can help support you on your way.  Depression saps energy and power.  Let’s reclaim the life you want to lead. Your energy will become an inspiration for others too!     

Depression is common in both teens and adults.  You are not alone, and your depression is not a hopeless case.  Even though it can feel like depression will never lift, that feeling is a lie.  Depression itself acts like a liar and a cheat.  It causes you to think that you are weaker than you actually are; that you are less capable, less empowered.  Let me help you to find the resources you need, so that together we can speed up the process of recovery and help you reclaim your true self.  Now is the right time to figure out the solution.     

I use a combination of individual and group treatments to help clients beat their depression quickly. Activity beats depression, so being active is also a necessary component of treatment.  Although never pressured, medications may also be a viable option to kick-start a system of recovery.  I communicate weekly with psychiatrists throughout California, Texas and Washington and am happy to make thoughtful referrals when pharmaceutical support may be appropriate.  Information is crucial when we’re stuck, and having a consultation with an ethical psychiatrist can help a client decide the risks and rewards of specific medications.
