Depression is more than just feeling sad or experiencing fleeting moments of despair. It can mean feeling so hopeless and trapped that you don’t believe things will ever improve—like you’re submerged underwater and perpetually drowning in negative thoughts and emotions. This mental health condition can significantly affect various aspects of your daily life, including your sleep patterns, appetite, social interactions with friends and family, and even your personal hygiene and self-care routines. At Living Hope Counseling, we treat depression by not only teaching you effective coping skills to manage your feelings but also by helping you understand and process the underlying issues that may have contributed to the onset of your depression.

Anxiety may look different for everyone—some people experience chronic feelings of stress or nervousness, while others may suffer from panic attacks that seem to arise out of nowhere. Regardless of the specific symptoms you might experience, anxiety can make everyday life feel overwhelming and out of control. At Living Hope Counseling, we are dedicated to helping individuals who struggle with anxiety by teaching them a variety of effective coping skills. We also focus on learning to reframe negative thoughts and beliefs, a process often referred to as cognitive behavioral therapy. This approach can help you regain a sense of stability and manage your anxiety more effectively.
