Depression Therapy

Accepting New Clients in Person in Alpharetta, Georgia, and Online across Georgia

Helping teens and women feel encouraged and hopeful so that you can build motivation, enjoy activities, and improve your relationships.

Do you feel sad, isolated, or hopeless? Are you having trouble getting out of bed, concentrating on important tasks, or taking care of yourself throughout the day?

Together, we can discover the origin of these challenges so that you can live without feelings of guilt or worthlessness getting in the way of living a full, vibrant life.

What is Depression Therapy?

If you have been experiencing constant sadness, isolation, or poor motivation over the past two weeks or longer, you may be experiencing clinical depression. You may feel afraid to share how you are feeling, or perhaps you’re wondering if anyone could possibly understand you. Even when you try to talk to well- intended friends and family, they just don’t seem to get it. Speaking with a Depression Therapist provides you a safe, validating, and confidential environment to explore and process whatever it is you are thinking and feeling.

When we start working together, my goal is to understand when your depression began, how it affects you, and the triggers that may make your depression symptoms worse. I will help you explore and process any thoughts, feelings and behaviors that either negatively or positively impact your mood. Next, I will use strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Hypnotherapy, and psychodynamic interventions to assist you in improving your mood and decreasing your depression symptoms.

Work with a Depression Therapist

Emily R. Siegel, MSW, LCSW, CCH

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist with special expertise in depression therapy. I have been working with teens and women experiencing depression since 2008. When working with me, you will see how diligently I work to help you overcome this debilitating disease. 

I use cognitive behavioral therapy, a technique that helps you notice, challenge and shift cognitive distortions and actions. As a result, you will improve emotional regulation skills and develop healthier coping skills to better manage depression. In cases of more severe depression, I can connect you to a psychiatrist and collaborate with them on your behalf if psychotropic medications are necessary. I also have special training in hypnotherapy which complements depression psychotherapy.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, and psychodynamic interventions will assist you in improving your mood and decreasing your depression symptoms.

While working with you, I provide referrals to psychiatrists and collaborate with them if you require medication. Additionally, I collaborate with your primary care physician or gynecologist about any potential underlying medical concerns contributing to mood.
