My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is identifying their goal and working at their pace. I work to empower the client to make changes in their life at a pace that yields sustainable progress. I prefer, enjoy, and find the best benefit in exploring the client’s experiences with depression and collaborate with the client to identify any patterns and opportunities for change in their life.
I teach the following tools in individual therapy for depression:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they are able to utilize tools that they have learned in therapy in their day-to-day life and feel an associated relief since the onset of treatment. Additional evidence of progress is seen when a client is able to consistently report reduced depressive symptoms between sessions.
Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with a journaling, meditation, exercise, socialization, reading, and other mindfulness practices.
To prepare for your first individual therapy session for depression, you are encouraged to know you are already taking the first steps toward making change in your life. Know that your clinician wants to support you and assist you in making changes that will reduce your depression so that you are able to feel more confident, empowered, and grounded in your day-to-day life. Thank you for taking these steps for yourself and for reaching out for help!

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.

Here’s how you can expect your experience at Thriveworks in The Woodlands, TX to go:
Your counselor might also talk to you about the possibility of taking antidepressants or another medication that helps people manage their depression.
Unfortunately, there is no one cause of depression. This can make understanding why one feels depressed difficult if there is no obvious trigger.
If your immediate family members (like your parents and/or siblings) have suffered with depression before, you’re at a greater risk of experiencing it yourself. Fortunately, in these instances, you may know that you’re at greater risk and can therefore do your due diligence in maintaining a happy, healthy mind.
Our environment has a huge effect on our health and happiness, as well. For example, if you and your spouse are in an unhappy relationship and you live together, this will take a toll on your mental health.
Similarly, if you experience a traumatic event or the loss of a loved one, your mind enters an unhealthy spot and you are at a greater risk of developing depression. The above might explain why you’re feeling down and depressed—or, it might now.
Thriveworks The Woodlands have providers on staff who have the experience, skills, and training specific to helping people manage their depression. We also offer:
