Depression Can Be Deeply Isolating
If you’ve been dealing with symptoms of depression, you might end up tossing and turning at night, with your negative thoughts keeping you awake. Or you may sleep for long hours during the day on the rare occasion that you have a break in your busy schedule. You might feel numb to the world, and even if you miss your old hobbies and pastimes, you may not have the motivation to pick them up again.
Behind the scenes, your relationships might be strained and falling apart. But in public, you still feel pressure to present a happy facade and pretend that you’re handling all of your responsibilities in stride.
You wish that you could feel like yourself again and find joy in your personal and professional roles.
With the help of a therapist, you can learn to meet your own needs while still fulfilling your responsibilities to others. Through therapy, you can find your way back to yourself.
Countless People Struggle With Depression
Why Is Depression So Common Today?
Several factors contribute to the prevalence of depression today. In our fast-paced society, balancing work, family life, friendships, and hobbies can be hard, and many people feel unfulfilled and exhausted.
Women are particularly susceptible to depression. In most cultures, they are still expected to be self-sacrificing caretakers. Yet today, they are simultaneously pressured to succeed professionally. Trying to deal with these competing demands can push women to the breaking point, and the idea that they should “have it all” can make them feel like they’re failing.
Furthermore, social media can make it seem like everybody else has it all together while you’re doing your best just to get through each day. When you’re viewing one highlight reel after another online, you may feel like there’s something wrong with you. Social media distorts our perceptions of reality, making people feel like they’re the only ones who can’t keep up.
It can be hard to shift your perspective and take steps toward healing on your own.

What To Expect In Depression Therapy Sessions
At Center 4 Growth Psychotherapy, we provide a warm, inviting environment for our clients. During your first session, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss what symptoms you’re dealing with and when they began. You can also share your goals for therapy and explore what you hope to gain through treatment.
Rather than merely treating your symptoms, your therapist will help you identify the root cause of your depression. Together, you’ll examine your behavioral and thought patterns to identify habits that could be harming your wellbeing. You’ll also discuss your current support system, or lack thereof, and consider whether or not some of the people around you could be adding to your stress and troubles.

Treatment Approaches For Depression Counseling
We can integrate techniques from many different therapeutic approaches to custom build a treatment plan that meets your needs. Your therapist will carefully develop your unique treatment plan based on your symptoms, needs, and goals for therapy.
To explore the potential roots of your depression, your counselor may engage in psychodynamic therapies. With this approach, you’ll examine childhood traumas and ruptures that may have affected your sense of stability and safety. They can also emphasize systems therapies to dive deep into generational dynamics and social and cultural influences that may be influencing your depression.
In therapy, you’ll see how your behaviors affect your thoughts, which affect your feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can all be powerful healing tools for people struggling with depression. You can make gradual behavioral changes to alleviate your symptoms and reshape your negative thought patterns.
Your counselor might also incorporate existential therapies into your sessions. This will allow you to determine what brings you meaning and so that you can structure your life around a fulfilling purpose.
Over time, you’ll learn how to set boundaries in your relationships and build stronger connections with people who truly appreciate you. You’ll also establish healthy patterns that support your physical and emotional wellbeing.
