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.

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.

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

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.
