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 Peachtree City, GA 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 Peachtree City, GA 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 have therapy for depression?

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?

Have you ever woken up, already feeling tired and beaten down by the day ahead? What about worthless—have you ever rolled over, and felt like there was absolutely no reason for you to get out of bed? Or maybe you’ve felt hopeless. Unmotivated. Uninterested. Or maybe there have been times when you didn’t feel anything at all: you were a zombie, void of feeling.

Someone with depression can feel all of the above at the exact same time: tired, worthless, hopeless, unmotivated, uninterested, and empty. What’s more is they can experience all of these things at the exact same time, for days, weeks, months, years, if they don’t get the help that they need.

“Happiness starts with you. Not with your relationships, not with your job, not with your money, but with you.” –Mandy Hale

Fortunately, there is help out there for people with depression. Counseling has proven effective, time and time again, and it could help you too. If you feel depressed or experience any combination of depression symptoms, consider working with a counselor or psychologist at Thriveworks Peachtree. Our depression counselors are dedicated to helping you find health and happiness again, despite your depression.

Signs and Symptoms of Depression

Sometimes people experience symptoms of depression but they don’t understand them as symptoms of a mental illness. Instead, they think that it’s normal for them to feel sad and empty, or they are too scared to explore the possibility of depression. It’s important that we understand what it’s like to feel depressed and when we should get help. So, here are the signs and symptoms of depression:

  • Feelings of intense sadness, hopelessness, or despair
  • Loss of interest in most daily activities
  • Weight gain or loss
  • Significant changes in appetite
  • Disruption of sleep patterns
  • Changes in activity, energy levels
  • Fatigue or loss of energy
  • Feelings of worthlessness
  • Guilt or self-hatred
  • Diminished ability to think or concentrate
  • Suicidal thoughts

If the above symptoms hit a little close to home, you might be depressed. And depending on the amount as well as the severity of symptoms, you might have major depression, minor depression, or another form of depression. In any case, it’s important you talk with a professional about your symptoms so that you can find the treatment you need.

How Can Counseling Help with Depression?

Depression counseling doesn’t follow a linear path. Instead, it is catered to the individual, based on their symptoms, their goals, and what proves effective for them. If you decide to work with a depression counselor at Thriveworks Peachtree, your counselor will first get to know you and your presentation of symptoms. Then, they’ll design treatment just for you. Treatment might involve the following:

  1. Discussing and changing negative thinking: Many of us engage in a bad habit called negative thinking. Our minds learn to assume the worst. For example, when we make one mere mistake, we deem ourselves dumb or incapable. This plays a huge role in the development of depression. Therefore, depression counseling often involves identifying negative thoughts and thinking more positive thoughts.
  2. Understanding and engaging in self-care: Self-care is vital to our health and happiness, yet many of us put it on the backburner. And when we do, we put ourselves at a greater risk of developing depression as well as other mental illnesses. So, depression counselors often talk to their clients about self-care. They help them to understand the importance and then pick a few activities that he or she will engage in each day.

If you think that a depression counselor could benefit you, reach out to Thriveworks Peachtree. Our counselors are ready to help you find health, happiness, and healing from depression.

I have known Stephanie for over six years and worked side by side with her in a mental health center for part of that time. What comes across first and foremost is her caring and concern for her clients and her determination to see that their needs are met. She brings to her work a wide range of experience and training along with confidence that is reassuring and a comfort to those in distress. She can deal calmly with the most severe issues as well as with problems of daily living. In the time that I've known her, she has been licensed in three different states to practice in a variety of settings. If you come to her in a time of need, in a time of emotional upheaval or difficult questions, I don't think you will find a more competent or more caring therapist.
