Depression counseling can provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore the thoughts and feelings weighing you down. During your first few therapy sessions, your depression counselor will get to know you, your experiences and history, and your goals for therapy. Together, you’ll work to identify patterns, thoughts, triggers, and circumstances contributing to your depression. You’ll also explore new ways of reframing negative thought patterns and learn coping mechanisms designed to help you feel more supported. Whether it’s learning coping strategies, practicing mindfulness or self-compassion, or addressing underlying issues, individual counseling for depression can give you the space to feel heard and understood.
