Principles of Therapy for Depression
How does it work? Here are some core concepts:
Evidence-based Treatment
Engage in proven therapeutic approaches that are supported by research and tailored to help reduce depressive symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Develop Understanding
Learn how depression affects your thoughts, emotions, energy, and behavior, and how these patterns interact with your personal experiences.
Build Healthy Rhythms
Establish steady daily routines that support mood stability, including sleep, movement, nutrition, and small achievable structure.
Connect with Community
Rebuild or strengthen relationships that offer support, understanding, and a sense of belonging during difficult periods.
Challenge Beliefs & Thoughts
Gently identify and question unhelpful or distorted thinking patterns that may be reinforcing hopelessness or low mood, and practice developing more balanced perspectives.
What techniques do you use?
I utilize many modalities to meet the needs of my clients, but here are my primary techniques!
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy gives you a firm understanding of how your mind and emotions work, plus techniques for managing them.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps you live a fulfilling life through your values and accept what you cannot change.
Existential Therapy
Existential Therapy deals with your conception of people, the universe, and yourself to increase life satisfaction and fearlessness.
What populations do you serve?
I serve a wide range of populations, but here are some that I tend to be a good fit with.
Gen Z (18-29)
New technology has radically changed the world, forcing Gen Z to adapt to new problems that previous generations never had to face.
Millennials (30-45)
Being a Millennial myself, I understand the societal and generational problems that many of these men face.
Teenagers (13-17)
Finding their identity, I frequently challenge teens to think about what they want from their life and bear personal responsibility.
Christians
Being a Christian myself, I frequently incorporate faith and spirituality into therapy for clients who request it. However I serve clients from all backgrounds!
Gamers & Geeks
As a massive nerd and storyteller, I often utilize media references and metaphors to help clients understand concepts!
