Depression
Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
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.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

Depression
Cheryl S Rubenstein
Psychologist, PhD
Depression has been referred to as, “The Black Dog.” It can be all consuming and requires a compassionate approach. Sometimes it is helpful to involve a psychiatrist to see if medication might be useful, but this is not always the case.

Depression
Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression sometimes may feel like a mud pile, that we struggle to escape from. You may be experiencing sadness, loss of appetite, hopelessness, or loss of interest in activities or social interactions. You may struggle to find the motivation to change but you know you can benefit from a little transformation. Depression is a presenting symptom, it is not the root of the issue. Discovering and treating the root of the issue, so the symptom would not occur or repeat again is my goal as your therapist.

Depression
Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
While depression isn't my primary focus a recent meta-analysis (study combining many studies) proved that focusing on treating worry and anxiety relieves depression as much as targeting it directly. My unique and simple approach to cognitive therapy for anxiety applies equally well to depression. Nonetheless, when we used relaxation only, to target worry and anxiety, it lifted depression as much as those groups who used cognitive therapy. However, if you are so depressed that you have recently contemplated suicide, I suggest you see someone in a group practice or someone who is willing to take emergency calls 24/7 because I do not do that.

Depression
Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Depression can feel like a dense, dark, and heavy blanket that weighs us down, sucks the joy out of life, impairs concentration and focus, leads us to question why we are living and if the hardship is worth it, makes us feel stuck, and confuses our brains into believing that we are worthless and that the negative feelings will last forever. Therapy can be essential in reducing symptoms, shifting the "stories" we tell ourselves about ourselves, more effectively coping with loss and upset, learning self-care, managing and healing from trauma, and shifting perspective so that we can feel better and develop lasting changes.

Depression
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I view depression from a systemic perspective, looking at the client's entire life to establish what may be causing or exacerbating the client's depression symptoms. Then the client and I collaborate on goals to improve the client's mood and overall wellness. Treating depression I will always be using integrative therapy techniques because no one therapy is right for every aspect of a person's depression.

Depression
Christina Webb
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, NCC
Depression drains your energy, hope, and motivation. It can make it difficult to take the steps that will help you to feel better. Sometimes, just thinking about the things you should do to feel better, like exercising or spending time with friends, can seem exhausting or impossible to put into action. Getting support plays an essential role in overcoming depression. On your own, it can be difficult to maintain a healthy perspective and sustain the effort required to beat depression. At the same time, the very nature of depression makes it difficult to reach out for help. When you’re depressed, the tendency is to withdraw and isolate so that connecting to even close family members and friends can be tough. Let me help you find healthy ways to handle and deal with depression so that you can get back to doing the things that are important to you.

Depression
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad Croyle provides trauma-informed therapy for depression, persistent sadness, emotional exhaustion, burnout, low motivation, hopelessness, and difficulty finding meaning or enjoyment in life. Many high-achieving professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, caregivers, and driven individuals silently struggle with depression while continuing to meet the demands of work, family, and daily responsibilities. Despite outward success, many feel emotionally disconnected, overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to experience fulfillment the way they once did.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to depression counseling, helping clients understand and address the deeper emotional, relational, and trauma-related factors that may be contributing to depressive symptoms. Depression is often more than simply “feeling sad.” It can stem from unresolved trauma, chronic stress, perfectionism, burnout, unhealthy relationship dynamics, attachment wounds, or years of carrying emotional burdens without adequate support.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support meaningful and lasting healing. Therapy focuses on helping clients process unresolved emotional pain, reduce emotional overwhelm, improve resilience, and reconnect with a greater sense of clarity, purpose, confidence, and emotional balance.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create a tailored treatment plan based on their unique goals, lifestyle, and personal experiences. Therapy is designed to go beyond surface-level coping strategies by helping clients identify and resolve the underlying patterns that continue to fuel depression, stress, and emotional disconnection.
Many high-functioning individuals have learned to push through emotional pain while appearing successful on the outside. Over time, this can lead to chronic stress, emotional fatigue, strained relationships, loss of motivation, and difficulty feeling present or fulfilled. Brad provides a supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental environment where clients can safely explore these challenges and begin making meaningful changes that improve both emotional health and quality of life.
The goal of therapy is not only symptom relief, but helping clients restore emotional balance, strengthen relationships, improve self-awareness, and create a healthier and more fulfilling life aligned with their values and goals.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to specialized trauma-focused therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.

Depression
Gregory Smith
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), BCPC
Depression can effect a person in many ways. My approach to treating depression attempts to find the original causes of the depression. Although depression can attack a person in several areas of life, there are usually certain reasons for them to be exhibiting depressive symptoms. Often therapy consists of prescribing a person an antidepressant and sending them on their way without ever addressing the reason they are depressed in the first place. I will work with you to find the underlying reasons why you are depressed.

Depression
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Depression often feels like being weighed down by hopelessness or self-criticism. My work integrates IFS to uncover the shame and pain beneath these feelings, combined with approaches like meditation/mindfulness, somatic sensing, and interpersonal neurobiology, and existential therapies to support healing and re-engagement with life. I frequently work alongside prescribers for medication support and use thorough differential diagnosis to distinguish depression from trauma responses, bipolar disorder, or grief.
