How Can I Spot Depression?
Depression can show up in different ways, and it often affects more than just your mood.
Some common symptoms of depression include:
- Persistent sadness or emptiness that doesn’t seem to go away, even after a couple of weeks.
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities you used to enjoy, including hobbies, socializing, or spending time with loved ones.
- Fatigue or low energy, making it hard to get out of bed or complete even the simplest of tasks.
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions, as if your mind is clouded or distracted.
- Changes in sleep patterns, such as sleeping too much or having trouble falling or staying asleep.
- Physical symptoms, like unexplained aches and pains or changes in appetite and weight.
- Feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, or guilt, often without a clear reason.
- Withdrawing from social activities or isolating yourself from friends and family.
- Thoughts of death or self-harm, which require immediate attention and support.
It’s normal to feel down from time to time, especially during challenging moments in life. But when these feelings linger, intensify, or start to interfere with your ability to function day-to-day, it may be time to seek professional help. A licensed mental health professional can provide the support and treatment needed to help you work through depression and regain control of your life.

How We Help Depression
Assessments
Assessments are essential in understanding the root causes of depression. By evaluating the severity and underlying factors of your depression, we can develop tailored depression treatment strategies to effectively address your specific needs.
Conceptualizing Depression through the Cognitive Triangle
(Thoughts-Feelings-Behaviors)
Using the cognitive triangle, therapy helps clients explore how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. This model shows how negative thinking patterns can fuel depressive emotions and unhelpful behaviors, guiding clients toward healthier thought processes and actions.
Identifying Cognitive Distortions
Depression often involves distorted thinking patterns like “all-or-nothing” thinking or “overgeneralization.” By learning to recognize these cognitive distortions, clients can start to challenge and reshape their thoughts, improving their mood and emotional well-being.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness techniques help individuals stay anchored in the present moment, which can alleviate the weight of depressive thoughts that often focus on past regrets or future worries. This practice increases self-awareness and emotional regulation, helping clients manage depressive symptoms more effectively.
Worksheets
Worksheets provide practical tools to reinforce the skills learned in therapy. They help clients track their progress, practice cognitive strategies, and work on managing their depression between sessions, reinforcing growth and helping to internalize coping techniques.

ABOUT US
Why Work With Hamlett Health Psychotherapy
“It’s easy to feel overwhelmed in a life full of demands without the support, acknowledgement or tools you need to succeed.”
Growing up as the seventh of eight children, I mastered the art of observation. I learned to navigate complex relationship dynamics and understand that each of us experiences life uniquely. This insight was deepened by my time volunteering at a group foster home for teen moms, where I saw first-hand the power of feeling heard and acknowledged.
Life can be hard and busy going through our days holding onto so much, stuck in our worlds, and often never allowing ourselves to process, think deeply, or express how we truly feel before we are onto the next thing. Sometimes, all we need is someone to sit with us and truly listen.
With over 23 years of experience, I developed Hamlett Health Psychotherapy practice to provide a safe and nurturing environment where clients can openly discuss their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Each treatment plan is customized to promote healing and help you develop resilience, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose
