Depression therapists in Ponca City, Oklahoma OK
Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
Depression is often misunderstood, thought to be the same as sadness or grief. While there are certainly similarities, depression has a different quality to it. Depression can make you feel like you have no life spark. It can make you feel like time has stopped. It can feel like it is taking over your life. Depression may be primarily organic, due to a chemical imbalance, or it may be primarily situational, or it can be a combination of both. Therapy can be very helpful for a person experiencing depression. It provides a place where things that are hard to talk about can be worked through. Many times, past trauma, as well as current situations, contribute to depression. Over time, we may get into habits of thought, feeling, and behavior that also contribute to depression. Even dietary habits can contribute. I use a holistic approach with psychodynamic underpinnings to look at past history, past trauma, beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns, and health and self-care habits to help clients address their depression.

Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Sometimes we don't want people to tell us about how everything will be o.k. Sometimes we just want them to hold our hand in the darkness.
Dr. Rebecca Fleischer

As a licensed clinical psychologist for 20+ years, I understand that the relationship and "fit" between client and therapist is paramount. I work hard to establish and maintain a relationship based on mutual trust and honesty. We can work together to help you feel less stuck, and more in control.

Ferrella A. March
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, NCC
Depression can really bring us down sometimes! I will help clients feel better by assisting them with understanding their core beliefs about themselves, others, and the world and how their responses to situations are often related to these unhelpful beliefs. I will assist them with identifying distressing thoughts and how realistic the thoughts are based on facts. We will also explore issues like unresolved grief and trauma that could be contributing to their symptoms.
