Tomeki Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, NCC, LPC
Depression is a disorder that thrives off isolation. Its grasp tightens as the person affected withdraws from the people and activities that would normally bring them joy. When treating clients suffering with depression, I employ an integrative therapeutic approach to fit the needs of the individual as depression does not look the same for every person.

Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Depression results typically from the long term repression of feelings, leaving the patient exhausted and despairing. Once the core emotional issues that have been long repressed are identified and resolved, depression lifts without reliance on antidepressants.

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. You may find it difficult to engage in activities that once brought you joy, or feel like you’re just going through the motions of life without any real purpose.

We'll explore the emotional roots, build coping strategies, and work toward creating a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.

Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I help individuals meet depression with understanding rather than isolation, relieve distress, and rebuild a more livable rhythm. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we study what is happening above and beneath the surface and turn that clarity into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less heaviness, more energy and choice, and the capacity to reengage with what matters.

Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is often less about feeling sad and more about feeling numb or "blah." I've worked with folks with varying degrees of depression for as long as I have been a therapist. The way out is often a mixture of self-compassion, tiny action steps to build momentum, and getting distance from negative thinking and reducing its power.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
Depression: Navigating the Deep Stillness
From Systemic Shutdown to Vitality
Depression is often described as "sadness," but for many, it feels more like a shut down—a heavy, gray fog that disconnects you from your vitality, your relationships, and your sense of self. It is a state of chronic burnout where the nervous system has opted for "freeze" because "fight or flight" no longer feels possible. In my practice, we approach depression with radical curiosity, looking for the light that still exists beneath the weight.
Understanding the Layers of the "Fog"
Depression is rarely a solo traveler; it is influenced by the systems we live in and the attachments we hold. We explore:
The Weight of the Mask: Addressing the exhaustion of "performing" wellness while feeling a profound internal overwhelm.
Systemic Despair: Using Systems Theory to acknowledge how social inequities, power imbalances, and environmental stressors contribute to a sense of hopelessness.
The Attachment Gap: Identifying the "emotional isolation" that often fuels depressive cycles, even when you are surrounded by people.
A Multidimensional Path to Recovery
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching modalities to help you gently re-engage with life:
EMDR for the "Core Beliefs": We use EMDR to target the "stuck" memories and negative self-narratives—like "I am a burden" or "It will never get better"—that keep the depressive cycle in motion.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "depressed part" of your system. Often, this part is trying to protect you from further pain by keeping you small and still. We work to build safety so this part can finally rest.
Nutrition-Informed Therapy: We look at the "gut-brain axis" and how physical nourishment and lifestyle rhythms impact your neurochemistry and mood.
Holding the Hope Until You Can
Whether you are experiencing a "situational dip" due to a life transition or have struggled with a "persistent low" for years, I provide a courageous space to do the heavy lifting. My goal is not just the absence of symptoms, but the presence of connection, agency, and joy.

John Burkin

Depression is real. It comes in many forms and I have helped people heal from major depressive episodes in which loss of hope has occurred. I worked many years in an inpatient psychiatric facility and have helped those recovering from severe depression. In my private practice, I work to help client avert their depression from falling to such levels of abyss by promoting self-care, improving self-esteem and identifying their personal desires that focus on real reasons to live and thrive.

Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
Depression in children, teens, and young adults can manifest itself in mood swings, anxiety, guilt, lack of energy, hopelessness, and general aches and pains. Despite the severe effects of depressive disorders or similar mood disorders on children and teens, 70% do not receive appropriate treatment. Early intervention provided by mental health professionals such as Monica is crucial as it gives individuals suffering from depression a voice to communicate negative emotions, learn how to regulate mood swings, and lessen depressive symptoms.
