Growing Through the Challenges of Life
Therapy for Depression
Are you experiencing any of the following:
Sadness
Ruminating on past failures
Self-blame
Low energy
Low self-esteem
Lack of motivation
Difficulty getting out of bed
Anger, frustration, irritability
Insomnia or sleeping too much
Weight gain or loss
Difficulty concentrating and making decisions

Suicidal thoughts
You may be struggling with depression. And it’s painful. Your friends and family may be telling you to “just get over it” and do the things you need to do. They just don’t understand how hard it is. Depression is especially challenging because the depression itself holds you back from doing the things that will help you feel better. You may already know that you should be exercising, spending time with your friends, eating better, and getting out of the house more, but you can’t get yourself to do it. Your depression is getting in the way.
You’re Not Alone
You don’t need to struggle with your depression alone. Learning emotional regulation skills and how to be in better relationship with your thoughts and feelings can make all the difference.
So, what does that look like?
Developing mindfulness skills
Managing your negative self-talk
Finding your strengths
Creating a toolbox of emotional regulation skills
Learning how to respond to difficult situations without making them worse
Adopting a growth mindset
Developing compassion for yourself while also learning how to get active and engaged
Respecting your feelings but not letting them be in charge
Learning about your different parts, the ones that are strong and the ones that may be holding you back
Struggling with depression is hard. You can get help and work with a therapist who understands how challenging living with depression can be.
I can teach you the skills you need to be kinder to yourself so you can start living a bigger, happier life!
