Depression and Mood Disorders

Our counseling sessions provide a safe, supportive environment where you can explore the root causes of your depression. Whether it’s past trauma, current life stressors, or chemical imbalances in the brain, we’ll work with you to understand your unique experience and develop personalized coping strategies. Our counseling techniques based on positive psychology and cognitive psychology  like cognitive-behavioral therapy for depression and mood disorders (CBT-DM) and mindfulness based therapies help challenge negative thought patterns, reframe perspectives, and build a more positive outlook.

For example, take a student or young professional who’s feeling overwhelmed at studies or work. The pressure to succeed and meet deadlines  leaves him drained and anxious. Through CBT-DM, he learns to identify distorted thoughts like “I’m not good enough” and replaces them with more realistic, affirming thoughts. Over time, this shift in thinking helps him reduce stress and approach studies or work with more confidence and focus.

Another example involves an individual who’s been grieving the loss of a loved one. The sadness and emotional pain have spiraled into depression, making it hard for her to get out of bed or participate in the daily activities. Through counseling, she processes the grief, learns coping strategies for dealing with overwhelming emotions, and re-establishes a routine. This step-by-step recovery process helps her regain some emotional stability, gradually restoring her connection with life.
