How can Therapy help with Depression

During therapy, we aim to alleviate depressive symptoms by trying to understand and explore what is going on with a person’s life in a realistic and objective manner, while  exploring their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors linked to low mood and hopelessness.

More importantly, we work with clients to discover their innate strengths and resources and help them to develop effective coping strategies and techniques.
