Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during my first appointment?

What patients can expect during the first session with me is as follows: the first step is for us to gain better insight into the “What needs to be healed?” and the “How to heal?” roadmap. We will discover what we need to work towards and how we can work towards these goals. We will then create the foundations of our therapeutic relationship by gaining a sense of the therapeutic journey and the directions we need to go towards the patient’s healing journey.

What causes depression?

Depression can be triggered by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, biological changes in the brain, stress, trauma, major life changes, chronic illness, substance abuse, and imbalances in neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.

What are the common symptoms of depression?

Symptoms can include persistent sadness, loss of interest in hobbies, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of death or suicide.

How is depression different from feeling sad or going through a rough patch?

While everyone feels sad from time to time, depression is more persistent and intense. It affects daily functioning and can last for weeks or months. Feeling sad is a normal emotion; depression involves more severe symptoms that interfere with daily life.

What role does therapy play in managing depression?

Therapy can provide tools to understand and manage depression, identify triggers, and develop coping strategies. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other therapies focus on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, building resilience, and improving overall mood.
