Noyau’s depression counselors help those struggling with:

  • Fatigue / loss of energy

The term depression is commonly thought of as everything ranging from having the blues to clinical major depressive disorder. Depression is an epidemic in our society affecting 1 in 4 Americans making it the fourth leading cause of disability worldwide, costing billions of dollars every year in medical treatment and time away from work.

 
 
 

Depression counseling should take a holistic approach.

Unfortunately, many depression therapists in Dallas-Fort Worth use treatments that combat only one area of functioning at a time. Very few of those suffering receive comprehensive depression treatment plans. Depression is not only a disorder of the mind, but the body as well. As such, protocols aimed at only one of those areas are far less effective than Noyau’s comprehensive treatment plan.

If you’re suffering from depression, there is good news.

There are excellent, safer, more effective alternatives to treat most types of depression for successful, long-term outcomes. We help you look at all aspects of your life to identify whether counseling alone will create healing or if adding a diet/nutrition component and exercise might be increasingly beneficial. Our trained professionals will assess your individual needs, create a customized treatment plan based on your goals, and work with you every step of the way as you achieve those goals.

Whether dealing with everyday stressors or more serious symptoms, depression can affect every aspect of your life. If you are having difficulties with your relationships, work/home balance or achieving optimum fulfillment in your life our team can help you move past these hurdles so you can get back to enjoying that which is most important to you.

FAQs about counseling for depression

  • Therapists can't single-handedly "cure" depression, but they can equip you with powerful tools to manage it effectively. Through therapy, you'll learn to:

    • Identify negative thought patterns that contribute to depression.

    • Develop coping skills to manage stress and difficult emotions.

    • Improve communication and relationship skills.

    • Practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques.

    • Set realistic goals and build self-compassion.

    Therapy can empower you to take control of your depression and live a more fulfilling life. If you're considering therapy, we encourage you to reach out to discuss your specific needs and goals.

  • There isn't a single "best" therapy for depression, as the most effective approach depends on your individual needs and preferences. However, some well-researched and effective therapies for depression include:

    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to depression.

    • Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): IPT focuses on improving communication and relationship skills to manage depression symptoms.

    • Mindfulness-Based Therapies: These therapies teach techniques like meditation and relaxation to manage stress and improve emotional regulation.

    • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT helps individuals accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action towards a valued life.

    At Noyau, our therapists are trained in a variety of evidence-based approaches. During your initial consultation, we can discuss your specific situation and recommend the therapy approaches that would be the best fit for you.

  • At Noyau, we treat a range of depressive disorders, including major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), and bipolar disorder. We understand that depression can manifest differently in each individual, and our therapists are experienced in tailoring treatment plans to address the specific needs of each client.

    Here's a brief explanation of some common depressive disorders we treat:

    • Major Depressive Disorder: This is a clinical diagnosis characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, and other symptoms that interfere with daily life.

    • Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia): This is a chronic form of depression with less severe symptoms but lasting for a longer duration.

    • Bipolar Disorder: This is a mood disorder characterized by episodes of both depression and mania or hypomania (elevated mood with increased energy).

    If you're unsure which type of depression you might be experiencing, a consultation with one of our therapists can help you gain clarity and explore treatment options. We also treat a number of related conditions, including anxiety, addiction, PTSD, and more.
