Depression

Feelings of loneliness, helplessness and hopelessness are the hallmark of depression.

It affects us physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  It robs us of our the ability to feel joy and to make decisions. Depression touches every part of our life affecting us at work and at home. It can cause us to isolate ourselves from those we love and who love us.   

How does Christian counseling help those who are depressed?  Depression usually has in roots in past hurts and traumas. These spiritual wounds need a deeper healing which comes from seeking and finding God’s love, forgiveness, and plan for our lives. A Christian counselor can help the process and facilitate the development of healthier choices, thoughts, and behaviors. 

Psalm 34:18 - The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.
