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.

Do you wish you could just leave, even though you don’t even know where to go?

“There is no point to even trying.”
“ I’m doomed.”
“Nobody cares….”
“I wish I wasn’t here.”
… Then, let me help you. Give yourself a chance for a better life. You already took the first step by visiting this page. Contact me today so that we can discuss a plan to get you back on track.

Bruce Clark
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Depression can make everything feel heavier; maybe motivation fades, joy feels impossible, and even small tasks can seem overwhelming. You might feel stuck in self-criticism or like you’re just going through the motions. I offer therapy that meets you with warmth, curiosity, and respect, helping you understand what’s underneath the sadness and gently reconnect with purpose, energy, and hope.

Anxiety Eliminated
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Health Coach, MBA
I am one of the few (only?) therapists, who understands the connection between depression and low blood sugar. Low blood sugar is an epidemic due to SAD: Standard American Diet. My protocols for fixing diet are mostly effortless. Once low blood sugar is stablized, THEN you we release and heal the root causes of the depression, most often found in childhood.

The Caruso Wellness Center PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, MART, MA, ALMFT
Depression can leave you feeling discouraged, isolated, and disconnected from the life you once enjoyed. From an Adlerian perspective, counseling is about more than reducing symptoms—it's about restoring hope, purpose, and a renewed sense of belonging. Together, we'll explore the life experiences, beliefs, and patterns that may be contributing to your depression while identifying your strengths and building the courage to move forward. My goal is to provide a compassionate, encouraging environment where you can rediscover meaning, strengthen relationships, and create lasting emotional well-being.

Lincoln Park Psychology, Inc
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologists, LCPC, LPC, LCSW, LSW, CADC, AMFT
Many clinicians believe that depression is a "cookie cutter" diagnosis and that treatment can look similar for everyone. At LPP, we follow our philosophy and belief that all humans are dynamic beings, with unique strengths, challenges, backgrounds, and personality. It is important to us that we find the roots of the depression in order to set a treatment plan that will be effective and efficient. Where does the tendency for depression come from? What is lacking or missing inside? What skills are not being used or what needs are not being met? How does the client's story contribute to the depression? What values and core beliefs are resulting in these struggles? These are examples of questions that help us find the right direction for our clients.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Since I am not a licensed therapist, I'm not allowed to diagnose conditions such as Depression. This is a term that is often thrown around quite readily and clients often state they suffer from depression, whether or not they have been formally diagnosed by a therapist in the past. Generally, it is a rather broad diagnosis covering a wide range of behaviors. For hypnotists, many of these behaviors are simply a negative habit of mind that we can change, neutralizing many of the past traumas that have led to their problems. I have worked with many such clients, however. In many cases my clients have been in therapy for years, even decades, and while they understood the roots of their feelings, they got no relief. One of my earliest clients was a woman who suffered tremendous emotional abuse as a child and grew up with a crushing feeling of worthlessness. She became grossly overweight and worked at menial jobs her whole life, unable to form any successful and satisfying relationships. Through hypnosis, she was able to lose 170 pounds and after one session focused on her past trauma, she was so lightened of her lifelong burden of self loathing that she practically floated out of my office and she insisted on paying me double my fee. She has been free of her burdens now for 5 years and comes in once a year for a refresher session. I have had many such results in my practice.

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.
