Depression
Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Depression can make it extremely difficult to move through the world. Maybe you are feeling down, questioning your worth, or struggling to find pleasure in things you usually enjoy. When people are depressed, it can be extremely difficult to engage in the world. Finding a therapist who specializes in treating depression is an important step that can help you to start re-engaging. I provide a supportive space to process your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we can work on helping you identify small steps you can take to gradually increase your energy and motivation over time. We can also focus on helping you to identify and challenge distorted ways of thinking that are likely worsening your depression. You don't have to stay stuck and isolated. I would be honored to help you work through this difficult season.

Depression
Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) manage aspects of depression that are significantly impacting their functioning and well-being. I further help them identify strengths and skills that can help them best manage their depression. This sometimes involves referral to and/or collaboration with a medication prescriber for comprehensive care and maximization of management of symptoms.

Depression
Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Depression can feel like walking through mud—everything takes more effort, joy feels out of reach, and even small tasks can seem overwhelming. Whether you're feeling numb, hopeless, exhausted, or just not like yourself, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to go through it without support.
With nearly 20 years of experience as a licensed psychologist, I help people navigate depression using evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based strategies, along with Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, and compassion-focused therapy. We’ll work together to gently uncover what’s underneath the heaviness, and find ways to reconnect you with purpose, meaning, and a sense of possibility.
You don’t have to pretend you’re fine here. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where your experience is honored, your story matters, and even small wins are worth celebrating. And yes, we might even find a few moments to laugh—because even in dark times, light still gets in.
If you're tired of feeling stuck, let’s talk. There’s a way forward, and I’d be honored to help you find it.

Depression
Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Depression can feel like a dense, dark, and heavy blanket that weighs us down, sucks the joy out of life, impairs concentration and focus, leads us to question why we are living and if the hardship is worth it, makes us feel stuck, and confuses our brains into believing that we are worthless and that the negative feelings will last forever. Therapy can be essential in reducing symptoms, shifting the "stories" we tell ourselves about ourselves, more effectively coping with loss and upset, learning self-care, managing and healing from trauma, and shifting perspective so that we can feel better and develop lasting changes.

Summer Stewart, PsyD
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
Feeling numb, tired, or just not like yourself? Depression can feel like a heavy fog—making it hard to get through the day, connect with others, or find joy in the things you used to love. If you're feeling stuck, unmotivated, or overwhelmed by sadness, you're not alone. Therapy can help you make sense of what you're feeling, find relief, and slowly reconnect with hope and yourself again. Healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.

Louis Miller III, Oak Brook Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, Attaining CMHC degree, MBK Adler University Member
I approach depression by helping clients reconnect with meaning, values, and a sense of agency, rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction. Our work blends emotional processing with practical, values-aligned action to gently restore momentum, self-trust, and engagement with life. Therapy with a client experiencing depression is collaborative, paced, and centered on the whole person, not just the depression.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Everything takes more effort than it should. Getting out of bed. Returning texts. Caring about things you used to care about. From the outside your life might look fine, but inside you're running on empty and wondering when you started feeling so disconnected from yourself. Depression lies to you. It tells you nothing will help, that you've always been this way, that you're a burden for even talking about it. We know how to work with depression, how to help you find your way back to yourself without pretending it's as simple as thinking positive thoughts. This is slow, honest work, and we'll be with you for it. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.
