Depressive symptoms can be triggered by numerous factors, including life stressors, loss, or reduced pleasurable events that occur in one’s life. Symptoms of depression include: depressed mood, difficulty enjoying things that used to bring one joy, changes in sleeping and/or appetite, weight loss or weight gain, fatigue, problems concentrating, feelings of worthlessness, and thoughts about death and dying.

Our clinicians make use of psychotherapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to treat symptoms of depression. Through use of these treatment modalities, clinicians aid an individual in identification and countering of negative thinking and behavioral patterns while making use of skills to manage and effectively work through emotional distress. When needed, medication management can be utilized in addition to psychotherapy.
