Depression
Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to treat depression can help you learn new ways to manage your thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty about them. ACT encourages commit to actions aligned with your values, in hopes of creating a sense of purpose and direction. By emphasizing mindfulness and psychological flexibility, ACT helps individuals to live more fully in the present moment and to navigate depressive symptoms with greater resilience. This approach can reduce the impact of depression on daily life and improve overall mental health.

Are you struggling with feelings of hopelessness, fatigue, and a lack of motivation? Depression is both common and debilitating, often making it hard to see a way out.

Together, we will explore the root causes of your depression and work on healing from within.

Depression
Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you're feeling exhausted, discouraged, down, and sluggish, adding something else to the list of things to do is likely the last thing that you'd want. Even if it is "supposed to be helpful", finding a the right therapist and starting the process of therapy can be overwhelming. I work to reduce that barrier as much as possible by using EMDR and Internal Family Systems to help you feel like yourself and to build the skills and strengths to buffer you against depression in the future. In working together you can expect a high level of collaboration, dedication to your success, and an abundance of metaphors. Reach out for a free consultation and lets see how we can move forward together.

Dr. Steven J. Hanley
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Sadness is part of the human condition. The causes of it are often more complicated than it sometimes seems at face value. Sometimes we don't have any clue why we are sad or depressed. I am here to help you talk about these feelings in a safe, empathic environment.

Linda Friedman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Feeling weighed down by sadness, loss of interest, or a sense of disconnection leads to feeling less fulfilled day to day. I will help you create a path forward by focusing not on eliminating difficult feelings, but on learning to accept them while actively committing to actions that align with your values and create a rich and meaningful life. My approach is rooted in the principles of ACT, helping you to break free from the cycle of avoidance and move towards a life filled with purpose and engagement.

Birmingham carries one of the most significant civil rights legacies of any American city — the site of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing and pivotal moments in the fight for racial justice — and this history creates a distinctive context in which racial identity, historical trauma, and community resilience are active themes in local therapy culture. The city is home to UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham), one of the country's premier academic medical centers, which anchors significant mental health research, training, and clinical infrastructure. Birmingham's African American community — which comprises a majority of the city's population — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. The broader Birmingham metro's mix of healthcare, finance, and manufacturing industries creates diverse occupational therapy demand across a metropolitan area larger than the city itself.
