Our Services

We offer a wide range of services to help our patients overcome the challenges they face.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

We specialize in treating Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of recurrent major depressive disorder that affects millions of people around the world. SAD is characterized by episodes of depression that occur during the same season each year. Symptoms of SAD can include feelings of hopelessness, loss of energy, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, and a general disinterest in activities that were once enjoyable. At Pebble Creek Counseling Center, we understand that SAD is not just a seasonal phase, but a serious mental health condition that requires compassionate and effective treatment.

Treatment Approach

Our treatment approach for SAD typically involves a combination of light therapy, vitamin D supplementation, antidepressant medication, and counseling. We believe that each patient is unique and deserves a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and concerns. Our experienced therapists work closely with our patients to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that not only addresses their symptoms but also helps them develop coping skills and strategies to manage their condition.

Light Therapy

Light therapy is a key component of our treatment approach for SAD. We use broad-band light therapy, which involves exposure to bright artificial light that mimics outdoor light. This therapy is typically administered in the morning and can help regulate a person's circadian rhythms, leading to improved mood, energy levels, and overall well-being.

Medications and Behavioral Therapies

In addition to light therapy, we may also prescribe antidepressant medications or behavioral therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help our patients manage their symptoms and develop new coping skills. We believe that medication and therapy should be tailored to each patient's specific needs and goals.

Self-Care

At Pebble Creek Counseling Center, we know that self-care is an essential part of any treatment plan. We encourage our patients to prioritize self-care activities, such as exercise, meditation, and spending time in nature, to help manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.
