Overcoming Stigma: The Benefits of Seeking Depression Therapy

March 7, 2023/by Jessica Bauer

Depression can be an incredibly debilitating condition and it affects people from all walks of life. In today’s world, mental health is becoming more widely talked about than ever before. But for some, there remains a stigma around seeking help from a therapist or professional. This can make it difficult for people to reach out and get the help they need. Thankfully, there are many benefits to confronting depression head-on by seeking therapy for your symptoms. Let’s look at why you should consider taking the plunge and getting help for your depression.Photo of an African American man sitting down covering his face with his hands. If you are struggling with your depression don't wait to get help. Discover the benefits of depression therapy in Atlanta, GA and how you can begin managing your symptoms.

Benefits of Seeking Depression Therapy

The Power of Connection

One of the most powerful benefits of seeking therapy is the power of connection. When you work with a licensed depression therapist at Informed Therapy Group, you will have someone that is walking next to you in your mental health journey. Having someone in your corner who can provide guidance and support can be invaluable when you’re struggling with depression and its symptoms. Our team of skilled and caring therapists has specialized training in helping people process difficult emotions and form healthier coping strategies that will benefit them long-term.

Therapy Gives You Insight

Another major benefit to working with a depression therapist is that it gives you insight into your own thoughts and behaviors—insight that may have been missing before entering therapy. One of our skilled therapists at Informed Therapy Group will help you identify patterns in your thinking that might be exacerbating your depression, as well as any unhealthy coping strategies that have become part of your routine. Having this kind of awareness allows you to make changes in your life that can lead to lasting healing and growth over time.

Finally, depression therapy provides an opportunity for self-compassion, which can be hard to come by when we are stuck in our own negative thought cycles or ruminating on past experiences. Working with one of our qualified therapists helps to cultivate self-compassion by understanding your feelings without judgment or criticism, allowing you to accept yourself as you are right now– imperfections included! Practicing self-compassion helps you develop inner strength. This can be immensely helpful when dealing with your depression and the symptoms that accompany it.

Seeking out therapy for depression can seem daunting but there are countless rewards waiting on the other side if you are willing to take the plunge! It takes great courage to face up to our mental health issues but doing so gives us access to insights about ourselves that would otherwise remain hidden away beneath layers of denial or fear. If you think depression therapy in Atlanta, GA might be beneficial for you, don’t hesitate. Reach out today to meet with a skilled and caring depression therapist –you won’t regret it!
