Depression is a common mental health condition that can impact individuals of all ages and backgrounds. At McGuire Counseling and Psychotherapy, we recognize the complexity of depression and offer specialized treatment for each:

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

MDD is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest or pleasure in activities. Our therapists employ cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral activation, and interpersonal therapy to help individuals challenge negative thought patterns, increase pleasurable activities, and improve mood.

Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD)

PDD, formerly known as dysthymia, involves chronic low-grade depression lasting for two years or more. Our therapists provide support for addressing long-standing feelings of sadness and pessimism, exploring underlying issues, and developing coping strategies to manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):

SAD is a type of depression that occurs seasonally, often during the fall and winter months when daylight hours are shorter. Our therapists utilize light therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and lifestyle adjustments to help individuals manage seasonal changes in mood and energy levels.

Postpartum Depression (PPD):

PPD can occur after childbirth and is characterized by feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion that interfere with daily functioning. Our therapists offer support for new parents, providing coping skills, psychoeducation, and strategies for self-care to navigate the challenges of postpartum depression and adjustment to parenthood.

Comprehensive Treatment Approach

At McGuire Counseling and Psychotherapy, we believe in taking a holistic approach to depression treatment. Our therapists work collaboratively with local psychiatrists in Jacksonville to ensure coordinated care and access to medication management when necessary.
