Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
When you are living with depression, even the smallest daily tasks can feel like a heavy uphill climb. Anne provides a warm, non-judgmental, and deeply collaborative space to help you safely explore those feelings of exhaustion, disconnect, and low self-esteem. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she partners with individuals to gently break through the isolation of depression and rebuild a sense of purpose, vitality, and hope.
Anne’s integrative approach goes beyond standard talk therapy. By blending evidence-based depression protocols with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and creative art therapy, she gives clients alternative ways to process deep-seated emotions, especially when it feels impossible to put them into words. Whether your depression is tied to a difficult life transition, chronic illness, trauma, grief, or the unique hormonal and emotional shifts of the perinatal and postpartum journey, Anne is dedicated to helping you develop manageable, everyday coping strategies to reconnect with yourself and your life.

Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Depression can make everything feel heavier—your thoughts, your energy, even simple daily tasks. You might feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Therapy provides a space to begin rebuilding momentum, reconnecting with yourself, and finding small, meaningful ways to move toward feeling better.

Depression
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.

Depression
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.

Depression
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.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression can feel like a heaviness that’s hard to shake—low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and others. In therapy, we take the time to understand what’s beneath these experiences rather than pushing them aside. By exploring patterns, emotions, and the context around them, our work can help you reconnect with yourself, find more steadiness, and gradually re-engage with life in a way that feels more meaningful and sustainable.

Depression
Rick Brodsky
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Depression is very common, yet the origins and its presentation can be variable. We can explore what methodologies are a best fit for you. Typically, I find psychodynamic talk therapy to be useful as we work collaboratively to develop insight and understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy can provide us many strategies and new perspectives. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps us to think flexibly and make choices that are aligned with our values.

Depression
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).

Rachel Honaker, Depth Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Working through depression is challenging. It's a delicate balance of learning kindness towards yourself, being gentle when things are hard, and challenging yourself to make meaningful change. With depression, it takes small steps, but they accumulate! I'm here to help keep track and celebrate the change and validate when making a change is too much for right now. An important part of change is acknowledging what has come before. We will explore your experiences and feelings to make connections that can help us find the way towards health and well-being.

Depression
Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Relationships that are not meeting our needs, the stressors of life, and feeling stuck or unsatisfied professionally can lead to prolonged feelings of sadness. Perhaps your childhood experiences did not give you the opportunity to develop a strong sense of who you are or that you matter. Therapy can help you regulate the intensity of depression and make a pivot in how you respond to its presence, making way for less struggle and more opportunities for choosing how you want to live.
