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.

What an honor it is to be a supportive companion on your path to deeper wellness!

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.

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.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression is a common word now but there's so much to it. You may feel hopeless and sad, scared, gloomy, and more. Maybe there is stigma in your culture or family. Maybe you have been told that depression is a "choice." It isn't your fault. I am here to help you take steps to manage your depression. But you are enough. And you do not need to be "fixed."

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.

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.

Lora Proia/ Centered Village LLC Counseling & Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LCPC, LPC
Depression often ebbs and flows. One day, a client may feel capable and hopeful; the next, they may struggle to get out of bed. It’s rarely a straight line to recovery. Progress can feel like a roller coaster—filled with starts, stops, and setbacks.
I help clients build skills they can use not just now, but later—when symptoms may return. We work on reframing negative thought patterns, challenging entrenched beliefs, and developing emotional regulation strategies.
Depression often brings a sense of hopelessness. I counter this by helping clients identify exceptions—moments when they felt even slightly better—and build on those all while empowering clients to recognize their strengths and past successes.

Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has proved revolutionary for me and many clients I have worked with on reshaping our relationship to sadness and despair from one of trying to avoid or control it OR be overwhelmed and drowned by it to one of acceptance and management of it. This latter way of relating to any unpleasant thought or feeling allows us to continue to thrive and be present for life even while we are experiencing it.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It's important that your provider asks the right questions. Often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.

Depression can feel lonely and make daily tasks feel difficult to approach or complete. Symptoms of major depression may include sadness and withdrawal, irritability, loss of enjoyment, and changes with concentration, appetite and sleep.

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.
