Hi there, I'm Meg Wallis, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LICSWA, CADC). At Blackbird Behavioral, I'm here to help you face your most difficult emotions and struggles.
Facing these challenges with a stranger can be incredibly hard. That's why I strive to keep it simple. I believe in meeting people where they are at - no judgment, just understanding and support. I am deeply committed to helping individuals find true change from within themselves.
Depression can cast a heavy cloud over our lives, making it difficult to see any joy or purpose. It can feel like we're trapped in a never-ending cycle of sadness and hopelessness. But I want you to know that there is hope. Together, we can lift the fog of depression and rediscover the joy and purpose that may have been lost.
Understanding Depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad. It is a complex mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It can manifest as a persistent feeling of sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and even thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
Depression can be caused by a variety of factors, including biological, genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. It is not a sign of weakness or a character flaw, but a real medical condition that requires professional help.
Facing the Pain
One of the key aspects of overcoming depression is facing the pain that lies beneath the surface. Often, it is this pain that leads to the most challenging behaviors. It can be scary and overwhelming to confront these emotions, but it is a necessary step towards healing.
As an independent clinical social worker and certified drug and alcohol counselor, I am here to provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore and process these difficult emotions. Together, we can work through the pain, understand its roots, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
Rediscovering Joy and Purpose
Recovering from depression is a journey, and it takes time and effort. But I want you to know that it is possible to rediscover joy and purpose in your life. Through therapy, we can explore your passions, values, and goals, and work towards creating a life that aligns with your true self.
Together, we will develop strategies to manage negative thoughts and emotions, build resilience, and cultivate healthy relationships. I will provide you with the tools and support you need to navigate the challenges that come your way.
