At In Touch Counseling™ & Wellness in Camas, Washington, Janelle Adams, MA, LMFT, ATR, and our team know that depression is a complex condition. It’s not just feeling sad — it’s a mood disorder that deeply affects your thoughts, actions, and emotions.
Depression doesn’t stem from a single cause; it usually arises from a combination of factors, such as genetics, life experiences, or imbalances in brain chemicals or hormones.
While depression can affect anyone, trauma or significant life changes can make you more susceptible. It’s also more common among women and younger adults. If you suspect depression, here’s what you need to know.
Depression shows up in different ways for different people. Some of the most common signs include:
Symptoms that last for two weeks or longer could point to depression. Call us if you’ve noticed these changes in yourself or a loved one. Early intervention can relieve your symptoms quickly and help you feel like yourself again.
At In Touch Counseling™ & Wellness, Janelle takes an integrative, whole-person approach to mental health care. She knows that depression isn’t something you can simply “snap out of.” Instead, we tailor treatments to your unique needs, combining evidence-based therapies with alternative approaches to restore your emotional and physical well-being.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or art therapy helps you explore your emotions, identify depression triggers, and develop healthier ways of coping.
Because the food you eat can influence your mood and brain function, nutrition coaching can play a significant role in your treatment. Our certified nutritionist, Brittany Butler, develops a personalized nutrition plan that focuses on nourishing both your mind and body while addressing symptoms such as energy crashes and irritability.
Our integrated approach to health and wellness means that we look at depression from all angles, recognize the interconnectedness of mental and physical health, and treat you as a whole person.
Our holistic health coaching services help you make lifestyle adjustments, engage in mindfulness exercises, and find natural remedies to support your overall health and recovery.
