Depression
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.

Depression
Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
With depression, things can feel incredibly exhausting - and most steps to take towards getting out of a depressive episode can feel forced. I work with people to find realistic steps in decreasing the intensity of their depression, and find a path towards relief. This often includes a collaboration between building coping skills, and exploring the triggers to your depression. I have gotten feedback that my space provides a nice balance of processing and finding sustainable steps in reducing 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.
Depression
Alice Bernstein
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.
