Depression Therapy for Givers – Find Light in the Darkness

---

Depression and sleep issues often go hand in hand. We start with Behavioral Sleep Medicine such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to improve your sleep quality, which directly impacts your mood, energy, and overall mental health.

Key Outcomes:

• Better sleep, leading to improved energy and focus
• Relief from the physical exhaustion depression often brings
• A stronger foundation to tackle deeper emotional challenges

This phase can take 4-6 sessions over 1-2 months on a weekly to bi-weekly basis.

Once sleep improves, we work on the emotional roots of depression using:

• Brainspotting Access and release deep-seated emotions, allowing for healing and clarity. 

• Dance/Movement Therapy Reconnect with your body to process feelings and find joy through movement. 

• Person-Centered Therapy Explore your experiences in a safe, supportive space to foster self-compassion and growth. 

Key Outcomes:

• Rekindle energy and motivation to engage in the things you care about most.
• Replace self-doubt with self-compassion and confidence.
• Process and release the emotional weight of past hurts or traumas.
• Strengthen your ability to set boundaries and nurture healthy relationships.
• Cultivate a renewed sense of purpose and direction in life.

This phase can take 3 months or more working on a weekly to biweekly basis.

Depression doesn’t have to define your story. Let’s work together to help you rediscover joy, balance, and the sense of purpose that drives you.

The frequency of our meetings is significant! For individuals navigating difficulties, weekly sessions could be the most effective. If you're managing well but could use some support, biweekly appointments might be suitable. Flourishing but in need of guidance? Monthly or quarterly consultations could be the perfect fit. Let's collaborate to tailor our sessions to your needs!

Not necessarily. Some people start to notice improvements in their mood and functioning in a few weeks or months. Therapy duration can span from 6 months (short-term) to over a year (long-term).

Yes, and we can meet over video or phone whichever makes it convenient and easy for you.

Here is how does not accepting insurance benefit you seeking therapy services:

• Issuing a SuperBill for potential insurance reimbursements or out-of-network expenses.
• Maintaining privacy and confidentiality without insurance company oversight.
• Providing therapy without the necessity of a formal diagnosis typically required by insurance providers.
• Empowering you to determine the frequency and schedule of therapy sessions independently of insurance constraints.
• Facilitating enhanced care coordination by collaborating with other healthcare professionals for comprehensive treatment.

I completely understand your concern about the cost of therapy. It's a valid worry. 

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to pursue therapy is a personal one. But I encourage you to explore your options and not let cost be the only barrier.

I'm happy to discuss your specific situation and help you find a solution that works for you. Feel free to ask me any questions you have.
