Depression Counseling in Mooresville, NC
Depression can look like low energy, irritability, numbness, loss of interest, or feeling stuck. We help children (10+), teens, and adults find relief and momentum with evidence-based therapy—ACT, IFS-informed care, EMDR when helpful, and optional neurofeedback for sleep and nervous-system regulation. Together we’ll build small, doable steps that add up to real change.
Signs Depression Might Be Showing Up
How Depression Counseling Works Here
Clarify your pattern – Triggers, thoughts, routines, physiology, strengths.Stabilize & activate – Gentle behavioral activation, sleep support, nervous-system regulation.
Build skills – ACT tools for thoughts/feelings; self-compassion; values-based action.
Address roots when needed – IFS-informed work and/or EMDR for past experiences that keep you stuck.
Maintain momentum – Relapse-prevention plan and tiny habits that fit real life.
Approaches We Use
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) – Skills to unhook from harsh thoughts, reconnect to values, and take doable steps.IFS-Informed “Parts” Work – Meet critical, hopeless, or protective parts with compassion; increase self-leadership.
EMDR – When painful experiences or beliefs (“I’m not good enough”) fuel depression, EMDR can help reprocess and soften their impact.
Neurofeedback (optional) – Brain-based training some clients add to support sleep quality, energy, and regulation—often making therapy skills stick more easily. Learn more on our Neurofeedback page.
