Starting Depression counseling

What can counseling do for those who suffer with depression?

Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Columbia, SC will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.

Is it worth going to therapy for depression?

It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.

How does depression counseling work?

Depression counseling works by helping people pinpoint life problems, distorted thought patterns, and other causes of their depression, then process and work through them in order to mitigate the negative effects those factors have on their lives.

Signs of depression

Common signs of depression include:

  • Consistent low mood
  • Fatigue
  • Irritability
  • Oversleeping or difficulty sleeping
  • Changes in diet (eating much more or less)
  • Withdrawal and isolation
  • Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
  • Feelings of hopelessness
  • Loss of interest in previous hobbies or activities
  • Excessive substance use

Is depression counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks depression counseling in Columbia, SC is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How often should you attend depression therapy sessions?

Depression counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s depression as well as their needs and preferences.

How much does depression counseling cost?

At Thriveworks, we take most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay a $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Need more help deciding?

You hurt, but it’s hard to pinpoint where. You have pain, but you don’t know why—or maybe you know exactly why and that’s left you frustrated, confused, angry… possibly even depressed. If you’ve ever felt like this, you’re not alone. Depression affects nearly 18 million Americans each year. It often creeps into our lives, exploiting our insecurities and eroding our confidence.

Depression therapy can work. It’s helped millions of people overcome past hurts and improve their lives. You deserve to live a happy and meaningful life. You may be experiencing a time of depression in your life now, but it doesn’t have to last forever. Call Thriveworks Columbia and inquire about depression therapy today.

Does Depression Therapy Work?

Depression is more common than you may think. Many people experience depression at some point in their lives. In fact, it’s quite normal to feel depressed. Events such as moving to a new city, the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or children leaving home can all cause one to experience depressed feelings. We often try to shrug these feelings off, telling ourselves that “I’m just feeling a little down today,” or “these feelings will pass.” Sometimes our feelings do pass, but what happens when they don’t? If you’ve felt depressed for a period of time, depression therapy may help. You owe it to yourself to get depression help.

Symptoms of Depression

Clinical depression (also referred to a major depression) can come in different forms and have several symptoms. Some symptoms of depression include, but are not limited to:

  • Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
  • Loss of interest in tasks that once felt more meaningful
  • Changes in sleep, such as insomnia or sleeping too much
  • Loss of energy or motivation
  • Changes in appetite (both weight loss and weight gain)
  • Increased irritability or anger outbursts
  • Fixating on failures and increases in self-blame
  • Feelings of worthlessness
  • Lack of focus or difficulty maintaining concentration
  • Thoughts of suicide or an increase in suicidal ideation
  • Fearful thoughts or feelings

While the presence of any of these symptoms should be taken seriously and not overlooked, the presence multiple symptoms increases the need for depression therapy. Take the first step to depression recovery. Schedule an appointment with a Thriveworks depression therapist in Columbia, SC.
