One of the most common psychological disorders, depression can affect not only your mood but also your interests, energy level, and sleep.  People who are affected by depression often feel an empty or lonely as well as a lower level of pleasure from their normal hobbies or activities.

Depression can be chronic or acute, meaning it can appear multiple times in a person’s life or only once or twice.  It can be brought on by significant loss in a person’s life, emotional changes, or chemistry in the brain.

Counseling can help with all kinds of depression.  At Unlimited Potential Counseling, our therapists work with you to find tools and skills needed to reduce the intensity of your depression and get back to your daily life. All of our interventions are developmentally appropriate based on each individual's specific needs and abilities. We work with children, teens, and adults. Group counseling is also available.

As counselors, we aren't going to immediately tell you that you need medication to fix the problem. However, we recognize that some individuals do benefit from medication to manage mental health needs and we can help to monitor medications. If at any time, concerns become so great that we feel medication would be helpful, we can help you through that process.
