Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
There are several approaches that can work well, and I use them in combinations depending on the wishes of the client. I often use psychological testing to help clarify the underling issues and better target interventions, including recommending medications most likely to be effective, based on psychological testing results.

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression sometimes may feel like a mud pile, that we struggle to escape from. You may be experiencing sadness, loss of appetite, hopelessness, or loss of interest in activities or social interactions. You may struggle to find the motivation to change but you know you can benefit from a little transformation. Depression is a presenting symptom, it is not the root of the issue. Discovering and treating the root of the issue, so the symptom would not occur or repeat again is my goal as your therapist.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
When depression takes hold, even capable and responsible people may find their energy, motivation, and focus gradually fading. What once felt manageable can begin to feel heavy or overwhelming. I provide structured, evidence-based therapy to help clients better understand depression, regain momentum, and reconnect with a sense of direction and engagement in their lives.

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.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Are you a high-functioning, self-reliant woman who cycles through periods of emotional pain that you keep hidden from others? Perfectly hidden depression is a term for appearing successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing severe emotional pain. Coined by psychologist Dr. Margaret Rutherford, perfectly hidden depression hides behind anxious perfectionism that is trying to compensate for unhealed shame and a fear of emotional vulnerability. I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.

Depression
Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
The word "depression" is often used by most everyone in our culture. As such, many people tend to equate sadness or feeling blue with being "depressed." One of the chief preliminary understandings I bring to the table is skill in diagnosing Major Depressive Disorder from having worked as a mobile crisis counselor, having seen many clients with suicidal ideation over the years. I understand that Major Depression is no something one can easily will away by just doing a bit more exercise or trying to think positively. I realize that clients who live with depression often have people in their lives telling them to get over it, move on, pray it away etc. In addition to not using these platitudes with clients, I recognize that people living with MDD often need a combined approach of therapy and medication. If you have never tried meds or seen a psychiatrist, I will help you figure out whether you should explore this. Also, given my clinical background, I do not overreact to clients having suicidal thoughts or severe depression, so these topics can be talked about openly with me without fear of me operating from a reactive stance.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

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.
