Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Greeley, CO will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
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.
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.
If you think you may be depressed, consider speaking with a mental health professional at Thriveworks in Greeley, CO, for help. Call our office or use our convenient online scheduling tool to set up your first appointment.
Recognizing Different Causes and Types of Depression
There are many different forms of depression, and each depressive disorder may have slightly different manifestations than others. As with many mental health conditions, symptoms tend to vary widely from one person to the next, even among individuals suffering from the same condition.
Some common types of depression include major depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, postpartum depression, situational depression, and persistent depressive disorder.
Some depressive disorders may be influenced by a combination of more than one of these influential factors. For example, a woman may be more at risk of developing postpartum depression (generally correlated to hormonal and biological changes) if she is genetically predisposed to depression or mental illness.
How Does Depression Therapy Work?
Talk therapy is the most common method of treatment utilized in depression therapy and counseling. Talk therapy helps you recognize and understand the way you think and how that affects your emotions and behavior. Many forms of talk therapy can help teach you how to cope with difficult emotions, reset patterns of thought, and adjust the way you respond to challenges and different stressors.
Some typical forms of talk therapy used in treating depression include the following:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Interpersonal therapy
- Psychodynamic therapy
- Family therapy
Prescription medications may also help reduce depression symptoms and make depressive disorders more manageable long term. Antidepressants can be especially effective when combined with professional therapy and other stress-reduction techniques like meditation.
