About
As a woman who lived in a life full of trauma, I understand the difficulty of processing and the importance of discovering who you really are as a person.
Debra Konecni is a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with clients who have experienced a traumatic event — especially anyone who has experienced any type of child abuse or any type of sexual abuse. These are often individuals who have been hiding their hurts because they have been afraid to address the trauma, or do not know how to address the situation. Debra's goal is to assist each individual with working through the trauma and help them find their true self by believing in their story, giving them the opportunity to share their story sometimes for the first time. Everyone should have the option to work through hurts and not stay stuck in them — everyone should be given the opportunity to work all way to the other side and become a survivor instead of a victim.
Debra uses active listening, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). and schema therapy to help her clients. She also encourages journaling through their emotions to find their true selves. "Like the lotus flower, beauty coming out of the depth of mud; every individual could blossom out of a life of trauma, abuse, or just day-to-day frustrating moments that find them crippled or stuck in any way," says Debra. "Through the transforming and renewing of our minds, we do not have to repeat history or become the person someone tried to make us."
Through the process of addressing past hurts and trauma, it is Debra's goal and desire to empathize with individuals to reach their full potential in life. She has many years of experience rising out of the mud of her own lifelong trauma, which enables her to equip with hope and grace. "I welcome you into a safe haven to process through your hurts and struggles, to help you to strive and thrive," says Debra.

Everyone feels sad from time to time. However, if you’ve been feeling down for a long period of time and it’s interfering with your job, relationships, or other aspects of your day-to-day life, it may be time to speak to a qualified professional.
Depression is a diagnosable mood disorder that affects millions of people every year in the United States alone. Unfortunately, some people suffering from depression avoid professional help due to persistent feelings of hopelessness and low self-worth. It can be difficult to imagine a way out if you’re dealing with severe symptoms, and the idea of visiting a counseling center can be daunting or overwhelming.
Many people struggling with depressive episodes also suffer from painful self-judgment and feelings of shame. Some individuals aren’t sure if they even deserve to get better, thinking their feelings are somehow their fault or that something is wrong with them.
The good news is that depression does not need to keep you from living a life of happiness and fulfillment. Many people in your shoes have leveraged depression counseling to overcome their symptoms and get their lives back on track.
If you’d like to experience the benefits of depression counseling, start by getting in touch with us at Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ today.
There are many forms of depression but the most common symptoms people tend to experience include:
One of the most common types of depressive disorders is called major depressive disorder (also known as clinical depression). People who experience this form of depression exhibit multiple symptoms for a period of two weeks or more.
Persistent depressive disorder, on the other hand, is a form of chronic low-grade depression that can last for two years or longer. Other forms of depression may be situational, such as post-partum depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
If you’re dealing with a mental illness like depression, it’s common to feel like there’s no way out. However, you don’t have to face this alone. Experienced counselors are ready to help at Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ.
There’s no doubt that depression can be overwhelming and all-encompassing. You may feel unable to complete the simplest of tasks and can barely remember what life was like before you felt depressed. Even so, it’s important to realize that countless clients like you have experienced symptoms of depression and have gone on to live fuller and happier lives.
Many factors can contribute to a person’s struggle with depression; therefore, treatment can take many forms depending on the client’s specific situation. Typically, clients benefit from medication, talk therapy, or some combination of the two.
When it comes to treating depression with talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is among the most common tools used by therapists. CBT is a form of talk therapy based on the idea that distorted thinking patterns and negative beliefs can significantly impact moods and behaviors. By verbalizing your thoughts with a qualified therapist in a structured and confidential setting, you can work towards reinforcing positive thinking patterns and finding more productive ways to deal with stressors and challenging circumstances.
A therapist can also provide helpful advice regarding self-care and problem-solving to help you mitigate your symptoms in the future. If you’ve been dealing with symptoms of depression and are ready to speak to a mental health professional, compassionate support can be found at Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ. Reach out today to schedule an appointment.
