Center for Specialized Psychology
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCSW, LPC,
Depression is a common struggle among children, adolescents and adults. At CSP we believe that one condition, such as depression, will never look the exact same on two or more people. Therefore, we don't treat it the same. We take an integrative and personalized approach for every patient to ensure that the treatment they receive will work best for them. Treating depression includes understanding what the depressive symptoms are, where they come from, how to notice triggers, how to manage symptoms, and how to overcome mood shifts, through both cognitive and behavioral strategies. In addition, a psychodynamic approach is often used to explore the origin of the depression and process / heal from the underlying cause(s).

Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
Deep sadness and the 'heaviness' of depression are frequently the shadows cast by unresolved grief. My practice provides a clinical sanctuary for those navigating the profound emptiness that follows loss. By integrating Dr.-level psychotherapy with specialized Grief Recovery techniques, I help you move through the fog of clinical depression toward a place of meaning and renewal. We don't just talk about the pain; we use evidence-based tools to help your mind and body find their way back to the light.

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.

Adria Hagg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression can often lead to feelings of hopelessness, loneliness, isolation, despair and suicide ideation. It may feel that our thoughts are too powerful to reframe or manage. Therefore, our emotions take control. Through evidenced based therapy modalities, we can learn to overcome and manage depression and learn to heal by living in the present and challenging our negative internal dialogue.

Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Depression often comes from life experiences that leave us feeling trapped, helpless, hopeless and stuck. Our bodies move us into freeze responses to help shield us from some of the pain we are feeling but do not know how to fix. Over time, we can become patterned to stay in this freeze response. Working with depression, we tend to the underlying stuck issues and pain in a supportive and gentle way to help your nervous system move through the freeze and find more balance. We will look at the patterns keeping you stuck mentally and emotionally as well to see where we can help you find a way to challenge some of your current ways of approaching life situations so you can live in ways that feel better to your authentic self. We do all of this together so that you feel strong support along the way.

ClearPath Health LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMDR, CBT, DBT, TF-CBT,
Depression doesn’t have to hold you back from what is most meaningful to you. Depression is very real to anyone experiencing it. If you or a loved one are currently depressed, then you certainly understand the pain and struggle it takes to make it through the day. The good news is that you can find plenty help. And if that professional help is using best practices, there is good reason to believe your (or your loved one’s) symptoms can begin to improve within weeks not years.

Marcy Miller
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ph.D.
Depression can feel like a heaviness that settles into both mind and body—draining energy, narrowing perspective, and making even simple tasks feel difficult. Alongside this, many people carry a quiet but persistent sense of self-doubt or not being “enough,” often shaped by earlier experiences of criticism, loss, or disconnection.
Rather than viewing these experiences as signs of weakness, we’ll work to understand them as meaningful responses to what you’ve lived through. In therapy, we slow down and gently explore the emotional patterns, beliefs, and relational experiences that contribute to feeling stuck or disconnected.
Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and other evidence-based approaches, I support clients in reconnecting with underlying emotions, developing greater self-compassion, and building a more stable and affirming sense of self. Over time, this work can help you feel more engaged in your life, more connected to others, and more grounded in your own worth.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Depression can make life feel muted - relationships grow distant, motivation fades, and the world loses color. My approach looks beyond symptoms to the emotional and relational patterns that keep you feeling stuck or alone. Together, we uncover how attachment, self-criticism, and unmet needs shape your experience of sadness and disconnection. Whether depression has followed loss, betrayal, or chronic stress, therapy offers a path back to clarity, steadiness, and genuine connection - with yourself and with those you love.

Cuda Counseling LCSW, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression often lives in the past with regrets, shame, and guilt. We help clients understand that the most important choice we have as humans is the telling of our own story. We can choose to tell the story of "lack" and "not good enough" or we can choose to focus on how far we have come, and understand that our present perception influences how we experience the past. If this sounds interesting, contact us to learn more.

Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression rarely announces itself all at once. For many men, it builds gradually and looks less like sadness and more like withdrawal, irritability, low motivation, difficulty concentrating, or a creeping sense that things that used to matter just do not anymore. It can show up as going through the motions, numbing out, or pushing harder at work while feeling emptier at home.
Because it often does not look the way people expect, depression in men frequently goes unaddressed for longer than it should. The instinct to tough it out, stay busy, or handle it alone tends to make things worse over time.
In our work together, we start by getting an honest picture of what you are actually experiencing and what has been sustaining it. Depression is rarely just a mood. It is connected to patterns of thinking, behavior, relationships, and sometimes physical health. We address those patterns directly, build structure and momentum where things have stalled, and work on the underlying beliefs and habits that keep depression in place.
My approach is practical and collaborative. I am not interested in simply helping you feel understood. I want to help you function better, reconnect with what matters to you, and build a sustainable path forward. Progress is the goal and it is measurable.
If you have been struggling and are ready to do something about it, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
