Depression
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
In addressing depression, I implement a dual approach utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside behavioral activation techniques to foster lasting recovery and well-being. Through CBT, I collaborate with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to feelings of hopelessness and low mood. By fostering self-awareness and teaching adaptive coping strategies, I empower individuals to reframe their thinking and cultivate a more balanced perspective. Additionally, I integrate behavioral activation, a powerful intervention that focuses on increasing engagement in meaningful activities and reinforcing positive behaviors.

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.
