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:
Thriveworks depression counseling in Salem, OR is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Depression counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s depression as well as their needs and preferences.

Depressive disorders can take on many different forms, from major depression to mild cyclothymia. Regardless of the severity, depression deserves specialized care and treatment.

We offer convenient appointment options in the evenings and on weekends, and we make therapy affordable by accepting most major insurances. Reach out today to get started.
When treating depression, a professional must first assess your symptoms and identify the type of mood disorder you face. There are several different forms of depression, including:
Depression can be caused by biology and genetics (bipolar disorder, persistent depressive disorder), hormones (premenstrual dysphoric disorder, major depressive disorder), or changes in the season (seasonal affective disorder). Personality, stressful or big life events, substance abuse, and the environment can also play a role in developing any of the above depressive disorders.
To know the root of your mental health challenge, a professional will need to make an assessment. If you’d like to get started with a licensed counselor or therapist, consider calling us at Thriveworks in Salem, OR. We would love to assist you.
With symptoms such as fatigue, disinterest, and sadness, depression can feel overwhelming. It may decrease your motivation to work or play, and it can negatively impact your relationships with your friends, colleagues, and family members. But depression is treatable. With guidance and planning, you can retake the reins of your life and steer yourself back on course.
Depression therapy gives you the chance to speak to a professional provider who can diagnose and treat your specific condition. They may use a form of talk therapy, like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to help address the issues that are contributing to your symptoms. Medication may be prescribed, and you may be asked to complete out-of-office tasks and assessments that will help you manage your illness for the long term.
Your treatment plan will be customized to fit your needs and goals. At Thriveworks in Salem, OR, we look forward to helping you find the right course of action to make a positive impact on your life. Reach out to us today for more information.
If you believe you have any of the signs or symptoms of depression, please do not hesitate to contact us at Thriveworks. We have appointments available throughout the week and weekend, and new clients are often able to see a counselor or therapist within the same week as contacting us.
The decision to start therapy isn’t always an easy one but our caring professionals at Thriveworks in Salem, OR, will be with you every step of the way. When you’re ready to make a change, call or contact us online for your first therapy appointment.
