Candida Tristan
Associate Professional Counselor, LPC AssociateMy clients want to be truly seen and understood. To be heard, before rushing to judgement. They may seem quiet, withdrawn or angry, but they have a lot of meaningful things to say.
Depression is a mental health disorder that affects mood, including how you feel, think, and behave. Everyone feels sad sometimes, but when it starts to affect your ability to perform daily tasks and your ability to enjoy things that typically bring you happiness, you may be suffering from depression. The symptoms of depression vary from person to person, but often include feeling miserable without a clear reason why, anxiety, agitation, insomnia or sleeping too much, hopelessness, changes in eating, and/or foggy thinking. Depression may also cause recurrent thoughts of death or suicide (or even a wish that it would all 'stop' in an abstract sense). If you think you might be suffering from depression, a qualified mental health therapist can help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s depression experts today!

Thoughts and emotions are powerful! While some can be inspiring and motivating, others can be defeating and hinder growth and potential. Maybe you've been putting your mental health and wellness on the back burner and are ready for change but don’t know where to start. Unfortunately, many of us weren't given the coping skills we need to deal with in everyday life, much less unexpected events. That's ok, because you are here now and we can start learning to use one tool at a time.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

You have aspirations and goals for the future yet are uncertain about how to navigate past your history.

I have experience working with DBT, CBT, Narrative, and Solution Focused Therapy. By focusing on what is present, we can step away and determine just how we want to react. People are very concerned with how they react, but it's when you understand why the reaction happened that we can learn how to view ourselves differently.

Acknowledging that you might be in over your head isn't weak, it's wise. If you’ve tried everything you can think of to feel better, but your mind still attacks you or relationships always seem to go sour or you never quite feel at ease even when everything's OK, maybe it's time to look a little deeper. It's not that cutting off toxic people or upping your cardio won't help, because they probably will! But sometimes the wound goes deeper than that or the situation you're in is just too much.
