Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor
Feeling down and blue is a normal, healthy, human experience. Having clinical depression is another thing and requires a trained professional to help you understand the difference. Basically, clinical depression is normal depression that goes to an extreme level and gets stuck there. Most people need assistance of one sort or the other to get back to normal functioning once they reach this point.
br>I will help you first determine where you are along the spectrum from feeling somewhere down and actually being stuck in depression. We'll then look at options available to you to help you feel better and begin enjoying life again.

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.
