Why choose Bethesda MD Depression Psychotherapy?

According to the National Institutes of Mental Health, about 10% of all people feel depressed. How depression affects you may vary from one person to another. Severe symptoms of depression are obvious while other more moderate forms of depression may fly undetected under the notice of most other people. Undetectable symptoms, or symptoms that get attributed to other things, can nonetheless cause difficulty and lead to bigger issues, especially in relationships. Bethesda MD Depression Psychotherapy can help you with both severe or moderate to mild depression.

The good news is that depression is highly treatable

Treating Depression with Bethesda MD Depression Psychotherapy

We approach depression help using several key features – for Bethesda MD Depression Psychotherapy – which include:

Focus on Strengths: Effective treatment for depression has to occur at the neurological level. Simply talking about your feelings isn’t usually enough to alter highly conditioned mind-states that affect your entire being. We’ll coach you to literally unblend from the depressed mind-state into other possible non-depressed states and help you realize there are other possibilities. This takes having a systematic and patient approach and is one that can be learned with our Bethesda MD Depression Psychotherapy.

Depression as Relational: Small changes in how you express your needs to others or how you respond to the requests of others’ needs can sometimes have a huge impact on your feelings of depression. Bethesda MD Depression Psychotherapy uses a relational approach to help you change your depression.

Accepting Your Depression: Depression is a normal and expected part of being human. We’ll show you that it’s possible to not have to fear depression and how unconscious anger toward depressed feelings can keep depression locked in place much longer than normal. Giving you advanced ways of understanding the complexity of depression is one of the ways our Bethesda MD Depression Psychotherapy stands apart from other approaches.
