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 Dover, DE 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 Dover, DE 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 accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Depression Therapy – Counselors and Therapists in Dover, DE

You deserve to have more good days. More days filled with hope, laughter, and fulfillment. Depression can slip in and take those from you, leaving you feeling exhausted and consumed. But there is a way out. It’s not easy, but overcoming depression is possible! Thriveworks Depression Counseling in Dover helps clients work through their depression and back to the life they always imagined for themselves—even on the days that depression blinds them to everything except the next second. (302) 246-5527

Our counselors realize that right now, talking to someone is probably the last thing on your mind. As if you have the energy for that! We understand that depression can steal all your life and energy, making the idea of thinking about a future or exploring your emotions sound near impossible. And maybe you’ve been feeling like this for so long, you’re not sure anything will ever change. It’s ok to think like that! But it’s important for you to get the help that you need. Reach out to us today for support. Our depression counselors have partnered with countless people with the same doubts and fears and have helped them cope with, and even overcome, depression. 

What Are the Symptoms of Depression?

Depression is far more than just feeling sad and down. It affects everyone differently, feeding off of their individual experiences and personality. Some symptoms remain true throughout depression though. If you think you or a loved one may be struggling with depression, the Dover counselors don’t want you to walk alone. We are here for you. Some of those more common signs of depression include:

  • Feeling worthless
  • Having no energy (may be called “lazy”)
  • A loss of interest in things that used to bring you joy
  • Mental fog (not thinking straight)
  • Abnormal sleeping patterns (sleeping too much or too little)
  • Unordinary eating habits (eating too much or too little)
  • Irritability
  • Changes in sex drive
  • Feeling down or sad
  • Suicidal thoughts or behavior

How Does Depression Counseling Work?

There’s no magic potion or spell that can banish depression all together, no matter how skilled our counselors are with treating depression. What we can do is create a partnership with you and walk side-by-side as we figure out how to overcome your depression together. Everything needed to win this battle is already inside you, we just have a few tools that make accessing it easier. A Dover Depression counselor may discuss:

  • The root cause of your depression (if it was brought on by an event)
  • Coping strategies
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (changing negative thoughts and detrimental behaviors) • How to rewire the way you think about yourself
  • Possible changes to your environment and routine to better your mental health.

We will cater our treatment plan to your goals and lifestyles. There is no one like you, or your depression, and therefore you need an individualized session. Thriveworks Depression Counseling in Dover is happy to give you that. We take a client-first perspective and strive to build a relationship with all our clients. Because when it comes down to it, you know yourself better than we could.

I’ve been searching for the right fit. Had almost given up after 2 unsuccessful relationships with other counselors in the last year. Thriveworks makes scheduling easy, takes my insurance (Aetna), and offers quality, invested care. For the first time, I look forward to counseling sessions and feel so much better after! Hend Salah is helping me see things differently and get my life back on track.
