Counseling for Depression
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have untied my sackcloth and encircled me with joy, - Psalm 30:11
Do you feel helpless, worthless, or all alone in life? Do you hate who you are or worry that you will never be happy again? Is the simple act of getting out of bed and surviving the day a persistent battle for you? If you answered yes to any of these questions and have felt that way for more than a few days, then you may be suffering from a depressive disorder.
To be clear, depressive disorders are not simply “feeling blue” on a rainy Monday morning or feeling sadness after losing someone or something special… these disorders are a disproportional response to normal life events that can lead to severe feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, shame and guilt, and can even lead down a dark and dangerous road to suicide.
If this is where you find yourself today, we at Fortify Christian Counseling, LLC first want you to know that you are not alone! There are many ways to break through the darkness and enjoy living again, and although we cannot guarantee it will be easy, we do guarantee that it will be worth it.
Over the years we have worked with clients suffering from numerous depressive disorders, to include disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), major depressive disorder, and various other forms of depression that vary in onset, duration, triggers and etiology… and in every case, we have come alongside our clients, armed with truth, hope, and love, to fight for their freedom. As the Psalmist has so powerfully stated, "weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5b).
If you or someone you know is in need of help, please reach out to Fortify Christian Counseling, LLC today!
