Depression
Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals experiencing depression by helping them understand patterns such as low motivation, withdrawal, and negative self-talk that can keep them feeling stuck. Depression can impact mood, energy, relationships, and your sense of purpose. In therapy, we focus on building small, meaningful changes in daily life while also addressing the thoughts and beliefs that contribute to feeling hopeless or disconnected. I use CBT-based strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and support clients in re-engaging with activities and values that bring a greater sense of purpose and direction.

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Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.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..."

Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C

Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Depression can feel heavy, isolating, and difficult to put into words. In a culture that often encourages pushing feelings aside, it can be hard to make space for what’s really there. Together, we slow down and make room for your emotions by approaching them with curiosity rather than avoidance so they can be understood, processed, and begin to shift over time.

Gemstone Wellness, Inc.
Psychologist, PsyD, LCPC, LCSW, LPC
At Gemstone Wellness, depression is not approached as a flaw to be corrected, but as a meaningful experience that deserves to be understood in context. We recognize that depression often carries layers—emotional, relational, cultural, and physiological—and cannot be reduced to a single cause or quick solution. Instead of pushing for immediate change, therapy begins by creating space to gently explore what has led to the heaviness, disconnection, or loss of meaning you may be feeling.
Our work is grounded in trauma-informed, insight-oriented care. Depression can show up as exhaustion, numbness, hopelessness, or a sense that even simple tasks feel overwhelming. We move at a pace that respects your nervous system, helping you reconnect with yourself gradually rather than forcing momentum before it’s possible. Over time, this allows for increased emotional clarity, regulation, and a renewed sense of internal steadiness.
We do not rely on a rigid or one-size-fits-all model. Therapy may include a blend of relational work, cognitive and behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and deeper exploration of identity, loss, or past experiences—always tailored to your needs. Some sessions may focus on building energy and structure; others may hold space for grief, reflection, or simply being where you are.
Importantly, we understand that depression is often rooted in more than biology alone. Experiences such as trauma, chronic stress, identity-based marginalization, grief, or disconnection from purpose can all contribute. Therapy at Gemstone Wellness makes room for these deeper layers, helping you not only feel better, but understand yourself more fully.
The goal is not to force positivity, but to restore connection—connection to your emotions, your relationships, and your sense of meaning. As that connection strengthens, many clients begin to experience a return of energy, motivation, and hope—not as something imposed, but as something that emerges naturally from being more fully seen and understood.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in depression, my treatment approach is comprehensive and tailored to each individual's needs. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to their depression. By exploring underlying factors such as past traumas, life stressors, and interpersonal conflicts, we develop coping strategies and problem-solving skills to manage symptoms effectively. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, including regular exercise, healthy sleep habits, and social support networks, to promote overall well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to regain a sense of control over their lives, enhance resilience, and experience greater fulfillment and joy.

Depression is one of the most common reasons people enter therapy. Stress, tragedy, long periods of overwork, and lack of self-care can all prompt depression. It can happen during life’s happiest moments too. From the birth of a child to new jobs or relationships, life transitions and change can bring about feelings of depression. Depression can feel confusing and hopeless. Luckily, there are excellent treatments for depression that can create real and lasting change.
