Understand Better What Depression Is
How can therapy help you?
With support from a mental health professional, it is possible to improve the management of your emotions, sleep, energy levels, and sense of inner balance. In sessions, we may use:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): to help you identify and change negative thinking patterns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): to learn skills for emotion regulation, resilience, and crisis management.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): to improve relationships and address conflicts that affect your mood.
Early recognition and support can reduce symptoms, strengthen emotional stability, and improve your quality of life and relationships.
