Depression Treatment

At Turner Counseling, we understand how overwhelming and isolating depression can feel. It affects not only your emotional well-being but also your physical health, relationships, and daily life. Our compassionate and professional team is here to help you regain control, find hope, and navigate your journey toward healing.

What Is Depression?

Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a bad day. It’s a mental health condition that can impact your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Common symptoms include:

​

• Persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness

• Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed

• Changes in appetite or sleep patterns

• Fatigue or lack of energy

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Feelings of worthlessness or guilt

• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide

​

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, know that you don’t have to face them alone.

Our Approach to Depression Treatment

At Turner Counseling, we take a personalized approach to treating depression, tailoring every plan to meet your unique needs.

1. Compassionate Understanding

We provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. Our therapist is trained to listen, understand, and offer support without bias.

2. Evidence-Based Therapies

We utilize proven treatment methods, including: 

• Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT): supports individuals in repairing their relationship with themselves by fostering emotional safety and engaging in parts work. This approach helps clients deepen self-understanding and cultivate inner harmony for personal growth and healing.

• Mindfulness and Stress Reduction Techniques: Teaching tools to help you stay present and manage overwhelming emotions.

• Interpersonal Orientation: Focusing on improving relationships and addressing interpersonal challenges. 

​

3. Holistic Support

Depression often requires a whole-person approach. This means not only addressing symptoms through therapy but also gaining a deeper understanding of the client’s underlying needs. By fostering this awareness, clients can confidently make meaningful lifestyle adjustments that align with their unique values. This approach may include strategies such as lifestyle changes, self-care practices, and, when appropriate, collaboration with other healthcare providers for medication management.

4. Collaborative Goal-Setting

You are an active partner in your healing journey. Together, we’ll set achievable goals and celebrate progress along the way.
