Starting Depression counseling

What can counseling do for those who suffer with depression?

Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Vancouver, WA will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.

Is it worth going to therapy for depression?

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.

How does depression counseling work?

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.

Signs of depression

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
  • Excessive substance use

Is depression counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks depression counseling in Vancouver, WA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How often should you attend depression therapy sessions?

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.

How much does depression counseling cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance.

Can Men and Women Experience Different Symptoms of Depression?

Men and women can experience depression differently due to biological factors like hormonal disparities as well as sociocultural expectations. Here are some statistics and generalizations that might be helpful in identifying depression in the sexes:

  • Women are almost twice as likely as men to develop major depression, though rates are similar for boys and girls before puberty sets in.
  • Men are more likely to display “externalizing symptoms” of depression while women are more likely to display “internalizing symptoms.” This means that a man might act angry or lash out when he’s depressed, while a woman might turn inward with self-hating thoughts.
  • Depressed men tend struggle more than women with drugs and alcohol abuse.
  • Women experience feelings of guilt more than men when they’re depressed.

Thriveworks counselors in Vancouver, WA can also treat depression in people who are transgender or nonbinary. No one deserves to suffer from the pain of depression.
