Depression
Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Depression is often a symptom of unresolved feelings. It can be a reaction to anxiety that has exhausted itself, or anger turned inward. Some people are perfectionistic to a fault and constantly beat up on themselves for failing to attain an impossible standard of living. As a psychodynamic clinician, I help depressed people find the roots of their depression, rather than just addressing the symptoms.

Shelley M. Samuels
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor #6947 (CA), TLHT #494 (FL)
I work with people to support them in dealing with their depression by assisting them to discover underlying causes, but also to simply help them become more functional; better able to face their daily tasks. I often use creative interventions like mindfulness (I am MSBR-certified), expressive art, journaling eco-art therapy and meditation; to encourage my clients to find more meaning and joy in life. I also use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy, which I am trained in) to help clients identify negative thoughts, using exercises or homework to examine unhealthy behaviors. Finally, I may also work with people employing EMDR, a technique for working through trauma. In addition, I work with clients with depression that might result in chronic physical pain.
