Depression
, Sometimes It's Shame".
We all have strivings toward connection, understanding, and growth. The more these yearnings are thwarted by deprivation, misattunement, trauma or loss, the more profound and painful the longings and needs can become. There is a basic human need that we all have to grow, to heal, and to transform into becoming our true and best self.
David Bricker
Psychologist, PhD

I have years of experience helping clients deal with anxiety,
depression
and anger problems and with couples who are looking to reduce marital conflict. When new clients call me they are looking for help in coping so they can feel better and handle their life challenges more effectively. Some people are looking for understanding of what happened and how they got here, and some are more interested in learning coping skills quickly, and most want some combination of both approaches. I listen to what their individual wants and needs and plan accordingly.

Therapy is a path to change, growth and healing so you can live the life you want. Our lives turn in unexpected ways, at times it causes us anxieties and discomfort. As we all face emotional and professional conflicts that leave us feeling lonely, unfulfilled or stuck, it's hard to keep hope when you feel trapped by longstanding patterns in your relationships, thoughts, or career.

Depression Therapists
Depressive disorders are characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and worthlessness and a lack of desire to engage in formerly pleasurable activities. Depression is not a passing blue mood, which almost everyone experiences from time to time, but a complex mind/body illness that interferes with everyday functioning. It not only darkens one's outlook, it is commonly marked by sleep problems and changes in energy levels and appetite. It alters the structure and function of nerve cells so that it disrupts the way the brain processes information and interprets experience.
Despite feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, depression is a treatable condition. It can be treated with psychotherapy by depression therapists in New York. As with many illnesses, the earlier treatment begins, the more effective it can be and the greater the likelihood that recurrence can be prevented.
Psychotherapy addresses the thinking patterns that precipitate depression, and studies show that it prevents recurrence. Drug therapy is often helpful in relieving symptoms, such as severe anxiety, so that people can engage in meaningful psychotherapy.
