- A loss of appetite
- Irritability
- Socially withdrawn

The Types of Therapy Used For Depression Treatment
You might be wondering…
What’s DBT?
DBT stands for dialectical behavior therapy – a type of talk therapy that helps individuals get present in their bodies, improve their ability to handle intense emotions, and find a deeper meaning in their life. We use it often as a part of depression counseling.
It’s based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which you can learn more about below!
What’s CBT?
CBT stands for cognitive behavioral therapy and is a common type of talk therapy. This type of therapy helps identify and challenge negative self-talk and negative self-beliefs that are causing other issues like depression or anxiety. By changing those thoughts and beliefs through awareness and positive affirmations, people begin feeling better about themselves.
What’s EMDR?
EMDR stands for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing and is used in treating trauma. EMDR helps people recall traumatic memories while using bilateral stimulation so the trauma is reprocessed into their long-term memory. This means that when the person goes to recall the trauma it is no longer a triggering and embodied experience, but rather a distanced past event.
