Sarah C. Benoit
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, LMHC, PLLC
There are various depths of depression. When depression feels like it has taken over our lives to a point where we can't get through our daily activities without a significant struggle it is important to reach out for help. Depression can be situational but for some it is also a life long battle. You don't have to go it alone and getting to the root of the problem as well as focusing on solutions can yield a better quality of life.

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.

Sala Psychology

We treat depression using a cognitive-behavioral and goal-focused approach, working with patients to systematically increase activation. This approach (CBT) has the most research evidence to support its efficacy in treating depression. We also incorporate mindfulness-based strategies, which have been found to reduce relapse.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in depression, my treatment approach is comprehensive and tailored to each individual's needs. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to their depression. By exploring underlying factors such as past traumas, life stressors, and interpersonal conflicts, we develop coping strategies and problem-solving skills to manage symptoms effectively. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, including regular exercise, healthy sleep habits, and social support networks, to promote overall well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to regain a sense of control over their lives, enhance resilience, and experience greater fulfillment and joy.
