Depression is persistent feelings of sadness and emptiness, a lack of motivation, crying, changes in eating or sleeping, disinterested in the things you once enjoyed and potentially self-harming behaviors or thoughts of suicide. Many counseling interventions effectively treat depression, including behavioral, cognitive, interpersonal, psychodynamic, and mindfulness interventions. People with depression may also require medication.
Available Treatment Options
Behavioral therapy uses interventions to change behaviors that lead to or exacerbate distressing emotions. Cognitive interventions involve examining thought processes to change unhelpful patterns of cognition. Psychodynamic counseling fosters self-awareness through exploring unconscious thoughts and how one’s past affects current functioning.

Stressful events experienced in early life often lead to negative self-image and sabotaging mechanisms in adult life. As most modalities focus on alleviating symptoms, the causes at the root of our dysfunctions are continually ignored. Unresolved root causes are a driving force behind our physical, mental and emotional imbalances. Forensic hypnosis allows us to go back in time to the roots of o...
Not all of us react to life events in the same way. Some of us are wired to react more intensely and take longer to get over the same events that others may seem to take in stride.

This can lead to self-judgment an...
