When people suffer from depression problems, they usually have no idea what is causing their depressed symtoms.  They just feel overwhelmed, helpless, and out of control.  The despair, hopelessness, sadness, and self hatred can be severe. While some extreme cases of depression are helped by trails of medication, the majority of depression disorders are emotional conditions best treated by professionals in the field of psychology.  This is why Robert Waska MFT, PhD uses research proven psychodynamic or psychoanalytic counseling and psychotherapy.  This form of therapy is evidence based and has been found to be more helpful in truly resolving the problem and longer lasting than most medications and most other forms of therapy.
