Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression is a dark, crushing weight. When we’re lost in the darkness it’s difficult to find the light or even trust that it’s there. But it is. The darkness is scary for sure, and yet even depression is trying to help us in some way, like for example, trying to keep us safe. It doesn’t realize we don’t need protection in that way or to that degree. We will explore where and why these thoughts and feelings are stuck, and challenge, rework and update them to bring more light into your life.

Chris Karcher
Psychologist, PsyD
Some research suggests that one in ten people currently have clinical depression and in a lifetime one out of five people will have depression. Although this is referred to as the 'common cold' of mental health issues, it can involve immense suffering. I draw from ACT, CBT and other modalities to help. For some people being listened to and understood by another person helps recovery from depression.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression can affect every aspect of life, making even everyday tasks feel overwhelming and leaving you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. I have extensive experience helping clients understand and overcome depression using evidence-based approaches tailored to their individual needs. Drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we'll explore the patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that contribute to depressive symptoms while developing practical strategies to help you regain a sense of hope, purpose, and engagement in your life.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Depression is highly treatable, with many of the techniques from therapies like CBT or IFS. Simply talking and processing depression makes it start to heal. Sometimes your depression may be situational instead of biological. Each persons depression is different, requiring a differing approach.

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.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Relationships that are not meeting our needs, the stressors of life, and feeling stuck or unsatisfied professionally can lead to prolonged feelings of sadness. Perhaps your childhood experiences did not give you the opportunity to develop a strong sense of who you are or that you matter. Therapy can help you regulate the intensity of depression and make a pivot in how you respond to its presence, making way for less struggle and more opportunities for choosing how you want to live.

Rick Brodsky
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Depression is very common, yet the origins and its presentation can be variable. We can explore what methodologies are a best fit for you. Typically, I find psychodynamic talk therapy to be useful as we work collaboratively to develop insight and understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy can provide us many strategies and new perspectives. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps us to think flexibly and make choices that are aligned with our values.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I assist individuals dealing with depression by using a blend of psychodynamic insights, evidence based practices and a strength-based approach. Fundamentally, I use a psychodynamic lens to help the client explore underlying emotional conflicts and past experiences that may contribute to their current struggles, fostering deeper self-awareness and insight. Regarding evidence based practices, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)to help to address negative thought patterns and behaviors, providing clients with practical tools to manage their symptoms effectively. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can also be helpful to incorporate into treatment given that depression often involves avoiding situations, people, or activities that could trigger negative emotions. ACT helps individuals confront and engage with these avoided aspects of life in a mindful and values-driven manner, reducing avoidance and increasing overall life engagement. By focusing on clients’ inherent strengths, passions and past successes, I also help them re-build a sense of self-efficacy, confidence and resilience which can impact and improve depressive symptoms. Lastly, I commonly develop collaborative relationships with clients physicians in order to offer a more integrated treatment plan that supports the clients healing.

Dr. Paul Daanen
Psychologist, PsyD
Depression is nearly always the result of exposure to some form of trauma, whether that is a single catastrophic incident or long term exposure to abuse or neglect. I specialize in working with the role that a person's inner self plays in provoking depression. Specifically, are you someone who has an inner voice that attacks you, or runs you down, or has expectations that are too high to meet? I can help you to transform the way you think and talk to yourself and thereby help to reduce your depression.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
We approach depression as a complex, multifaceted experience that cannot be reduced to a single cause or treated with a one-size-fits-all method. Each person’s depression is shaped by a unique interplay of biological, psychological, relational, and environmental factors, and we tailor our work accordingly. Our approach is integrative and draws from several evidence-based therapeutic orientations. From Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be maintaining depressive symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) informs our focus on helping clients develop psychological flexibility, build a different relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings, and reconnect with what matters most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for managing intense emotions, increasing distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Schema Therapy allows us to explore and work through deeper, longstanding patterns rooted in early life experiences that often underlie chronic or recurring depression. Rather than applying these approaches rigidly, we integrate them in a way that fits each individual’s needs, goals, and values. Our aim is not only to reduce symptoms, but to support clients in building a more meaningful, resilient, and self-compassionate way of living.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you aren't reaching your goals, feel unfulfilled, aren't enjoying life, or feel down, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats mood and related issues typically using Behavioral Activation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Justin O. Green
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Depression is not a single issue with a simple cause. It can arise out of life events and circumstances, it can be almost entirely an issue with the functioning of specific brain chemistry, or it can be a combination of both. Therapy can help to identify and work to heal from the life issues contributing to depression, and it can make medication treatments from psychiatrists more effective and efficient when provided alongside medical interventions.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Depression can place significant strain on a relationship, often leading to disconnection, communication challenges, increased conflict, or feelings of isolation for both partners. This is exactly at a time when people are actually needing greater connection. Through the Gottman Method, couples therapy helps partners better understand how depression impacts the relationship dynamic while strengthening emotional support, communication, and support. Therapy focuses on creating a secure and compassionate partnership, helping couples navigate difficult emotions together rather than feeling alone in them. By building healthier patterns of interaction and emotional responsiveness, couples are more resilient.

Little Rock is Arkansas's state capital and its most significant healthcare hub — home to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and a concentration of major hospital systems — creating a well-developed mental health training and clinical infrastructure relative to the city's size. The city's African American community — which comprises a majority of Little Rock proper — drives important demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma, intergenerational resilience, and the particular dynamics of a Southern city still navigating the legacy of its civil rights history, including the 1957 Central High School crisis. Baptist Health and CHI St. Vincent provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Little Rock's role as a regional medical center means it draws therapy clients from across a wide rural surrounding area where local access is limited.
