My go-to approach for treating depression is rooted in psychodynamic work. I find the benefit in this because it helps clients feel heard and understood. It also helps clients find the root cause of the depression.
The tools I find helpful in depression counseling are recognizing, acknowledging, understanding, expressing, and overcoming negative and contradictory feelings and emotions.
I know a client is making meaningful progress when they start to not let the depression hold them back from reaching goals.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling through either group therapy work or focusing on physical health and wellness.

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.
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.
Common signs of depression include:
Thriveworks depression counseling in Framingham, MA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
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.

Depression can make even the toughest people feel weak. It can make the simplest tasks feel impossible. It can cause you to miss work, school, or put other responsibilities on the back burner. It can cause you to question everything you know about life—as you deal with an intense sadness, loss of energy, and feelings of guilt or worthlessness.
The good news is depression is completely treatable and there is help available. If you don’t feel like yourself and think you might be depressed, consider working with a depression counselor at Thriveworks in Framingham. The counselors, therapists, psychologists, and life coaches at Thriveworks are experts in mental health—they have the skills necessary to help you manage your depression symptoms and live a happy life again. Call (508) 392-4269 to schedule an appointment.
While many know about major depression, other forms of depression are lesser known: these include minor depression, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and many others. That said, so many know about major depression because around 19 million Americans are majorly depressed at any given moment. Garrett Ellis, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at our Framingham office, explains what this might look like: “Some of the major signs and symptoms of depression include feelings of sadness, loss of energy, loss of motivation, loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed, a sense of hopelessness, increase or decrease in appetite (as evidenced by weight loss/gain), irritability, sleep disturbance (e.g. insomnia), and feelings of worthlessness.”
In order to be diagnosed with depression, you must present feelings of intense sadness and/or experience a loss of interest in life most of the day and nearly every day for two weeks or longer. If any of these symptoms resonate with you and you think you might need professional help, reach out to Thriveworks Counseling in Framingham. A depression counselor will talk you through your symptoms and help you to better manage them so you can get back to your normal self again.
Your journey in counseling will depend on your exact presentation of symptoms as well as your goals for therapy. Ellis explains: “The therapy process for treating depression often begins with identifying signs and symptoms that are unique to the individual’s circumstances, followed by exploring and understanding situations or events that have contributed to their depression. It is through gained knowledge, insight, problem-solving ability, and informed decisions-making, that depression counseling can help those in need to gain control over their lives, and thrive.”
In addition, your depression counselor will ask you about the level of self-care you engage in, which is just as important to this journey as the work you complete in the counseling room. Self-care is all about performing activities that you enjoy and that benefit your mental health. The following are a few common practices that prove beneficial:
Are you experiencing symptoms of depression? Do you feel a deep despair and loss of interest in life? Have your sleeping or eating habits changed for the worst? Consider working with a mental health professional at Thriveworks Counseling in Framingham.

If you’re ready to get started, so are we. Just give us a call at (508) 392-4269 and a scheduling specialist will get you all set up.
