Starting Depression counseling

What can counseling do for those who suffer with depression?

Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Albuquerque, NM will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.

Is it worth going to therapy for depression?

It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.

How does depression counseling work?

Depression counseling works by helping people pinpoint life problems, distorted thought patterns, and other causes of their depression, then process and work through them in order to mitigate the negative effects those factors have on their lives.

Signs of depression

Common signs of depression include:

  • Consistent low mood
  • Fatigue
  • Irritability
  • Oversleeping or difficulty sleeping
  • Changes in diet (eating much more or less)
  • Withdrawal and isolation
  • Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
  • Feelings of hopelessness
  • Loss of interest in previous hobbies or activities
  • Excessive substance use

Is depression counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks depression counseling in Albuquerque, NM is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How often should you attend depression therapy sessions?

Depression counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s depression as well as their needs and preferences.

How much does depression counseling cost?

At Thriveworks, we take most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay a $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Need more help deciding?

Depression symptoms can vary from person to person, but they all make day-to-day life difficult and unpleasant. It’s not uncommon for those suffering from depression to begin pulling away from friends and family—or to suffer additional symptoms such as fatigue or loss of appetite and feelings of worthlessness. 

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s important that you seek help and support through depression counseling from a mental health professional. Depression counseling proves to be an effective treatment option for people experiencing depressive symptoms. Thriveworks Counseling in Albuquerque, NM has depression therapists who can help. Reach out today to schedule your first session and get the help that you deserve.

How Does Depression Counseling Work? 

Depression counseling isn’t just about the emotional and mental effects you experience. Depression often takes a toll on your physical health, too, and a skilled therapist can help you mitigate those physical issues, too. 

Depression can make sleeping difficult and can lead to changes in appetite and weight, as well as: 

You might experience some of these symptoms but not others, as depression can vary in presentation and severity.

Is it time to talk to someone about what you’re feeling?

Cody Hedrick is an outlier on the bell-shaped curve of therapist expertise. He is direct, sharp, well-informed and likable. He studiously avoids labeling and jargon, hippie New Age perspectives, and regular old BS. Her has a way of getting to the point with the fewest number of words with great clarity and directness. I highly recommend him to men young and old for one-on-one work on your relationship with yourself.
