Anxiety & Depression Counseling

Many of us often wonder how we wound up at a certain point in life, filled with a hopeless sense of guilt, regret and even shame. The uncertainty of the present only makes the future more difficult to face, and we can find ourselves trapped in an endless cycle of anxiety and depression.

Although these experiences can make you feel completely alone, they are two of the most common mental health problems known to humanity. But when anxiety and depression start to become the loudest emotion in our day-to-day lives, they can affect everything from our work performance to our relationships and self-esteem.

Through our counseling services, we help you find practical ways to cope with anxiety and depression while getting to the underlying source of the issue.

Types of Therapy for Anxiety

There are many different ways people experience anxiety. Some may only find themselves struggling with social anxiety while others could be trapped in the cycle of obsessive-compulsive disorder. General anxiety affects just about every facet of your daily life, and it can leave you feeling constantly exhausted and disconnected.

The exact type of therapy we use to treat anxiety depends on your symptoms. Talk therapy is the foundation of anxiety counseling where we address what you’re feeling and start to deconstruct your anxiety. It’s often so overwhelming trying to simply cope that we never get the full perspective needed to overcome it.

Several different types of therapy can also be used to break the connection between anxious thoughts and reactive behaviors. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) are two of the most popular we offer. Trauma-based anxiety is also something we love to help people treat. Through the therapeutic process, we help you heal traumatic memories from the past to free yourself from anxiety in the present.

Depression Counseling Techniques

One of the most important parts of depression counseling is listening. We spend so much time trying to “fix” ourselves when we are depressed that we often miss the importance of simply being with and accepting our emotions. Through counseling, we will not only work on developing self-acceptance but also teach you how to distance yourself from negative thoughts.

Depression may tell you that you are a problem, a burden or that you don’t deserve love and support. None of this is true, and it’s through counseling that you can learn to manage your symptoms and reconnect with the person you are beyond depression.
