Depression therapists in Charleston, West Virginia WV
Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I believe in a comprehensive approach to the treatment of depression that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral activation, and value-concordant living. When appropriate and needed, I consider lifestyle and interpersonal factors that are perpetuating mood issues for my clients and work with them to make steps toward taking bold action. Additionally, when appropriate, I like to collaborate with other members of an individual's care team, such as psychiatrists and primary care providers, and help individuals to reconnect to those around them, building up their level of social support and connectedness.

Psychologist, PhD.
All therapists are trained to treat depression. Depression can be a primary problem or can be secondary to other problems. Treatment begins with a thorough review of the individual's life history and current circumstances along with consideration of physical conditions that may be contributing to the state of mind. The focus of treatment grows out of these discussions.

Dr. Wayne Bullock
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Life is filled with challenges. We all approach these challenges in characteristic ways that are shaped by the life we have lived up until that moment. Some times, the way we respond leaves us feeling depressed, as if life is empty, barren, or so deeply unsatisfying we would rather not participate fully. Depression then can become reinforcing, because being depressed limits opportunities to find moments of happiness or connection. Therapy examining what led to the depression in the beginning, as opposed to a "band-aid" approach of only trying to reduce the depressed feelings, can not only result in you feeling less depressed, but aid you in living a life even more thriving than before you were depressed.
