Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming and leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. I provide therapy for adults who are experiencing sadness, loss of motivation, fatigue, or hopelessness.

Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
When treating depression I typically take a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach. We look at how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and how when in a negative mindset we can spiral ourselves deeper into depression. We will also examine our negative self-talk and or irrational beliefs that could be contributing to depression as well as a holistic approach that encourages a healthy lifestyle and behavioral activation (taking action).

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.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I assist individuals dealing with depression by using a blend of psychodynamic insights, evidence based practices and a strength-based approach. Fundamentally, I use a psychodynamic lens to help the client explore underlying emotional conflicts and past experiences that may contribute to their current struggles, fostering deeper self-awareness and insight. Regarding evidence based practices, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)to help to address negative thought patterns and behaviors, providing clients with practical tools to manage their symptoms effectively. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can also be helpful to incorporate into treatment given that depression often involves avoiding situations, people, or activities that could trigger negative emotions. ACT helps individuals confront and engage with these avoided aspects of life in a mindful and values-driven manner, reducing avoidance and increasing overall life engagement. By focusing on clients’ inherent strengths, passions and past successes, I also help them re-build a sense of self-efficacy, confidence and resilience which can impact and improve depressive symptoms. Lastly, I commonly develop collaborative relationships with clients physicians in order to offer a more integrated treatment plan that supports the clients healing.

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.
