Depression

Depression

Currently, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most effective approach to treat adolescents and young adults with a wide range of psychological difficulties. This includes  depression. CBT is usually a short-term, time-limited treatment that focuses on teaching clients specific coping skills to address their current problem(s). CBT has the client focus on the various ways their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and affect one another. I will provide psychoeducation on CBT and depression, identifying and changing thoughts, and gradually modify and problematic the behavior(s).

Here are just a few symptoms of depression:

• Constantly feeling sad or irritable. 
• Extreme mood swings that go from high to low.
• Feelings of excessive fear, worry, or anxiety. 
• Isolating from friends or family members.
• Changes in your sleeping or eating habits. 

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you are not alone. I can help you. Please contact me.
