depression
have a way of waking us up to the ways in which we have strayed from our true nature.
Anxiety is ruining your life. You are smart, competent, and lovable, but every day is a struggle to trust that this is true. The "shoulds" and "what-ifs" pile up before the first cup of coffee, draining you of energy and stealing your joy. It's time to turn the table on anxiety. You deserve the support and guidance it takes to feel stronger, lighter, clearer, and more excited about your life. You've tried doing this alone. Now it's time to get help. Let's talk. Call me for your first 20-minute discovery at no charge. The first step in the direction you want to go.

Triumph was created to provide Black and African American people with culturally relevant counseling from competent, licensed, black professionals.

I have experience helping with
depression

Sometimes we look around and life is not the way we want it to be: full of disappointment, stress, sadness or loss. Sometimes we need help finding our way. In my practice, I seek to create a compassionate, supportive space for collaborative exploration, growth and positive change. I create a place where you can be seen and acknowledged, and you can give words to feelings and experiences, to discover greater understanding and self- awareness. When we understand our patterns of behaviors and feelings, we can free ourselves of the unwanted burdens that weigh us down, and live more fully and happily in the present.

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 Elkins Park. 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.
