Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Having treated hundreds of people struggling with depression and major depressive disorder, I would offer that I am an expert in helping roll back depression symptoms. I began my career as an art therapist in an outpatient center and the majority of my clients were young adults and teens with depression symptoms. A cornerstone of my graduate work was to use art therapy to help people with depression to express themselves in art media. Now as a seasoned experienced therapist, I have been educated with dozens of techniques to help eliminate feelings and symptoms of depression.

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.

Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
There's feeling depressed and then there's DEPRESSION. While neither is fun, it is important to get a proper diagnosis so treatment can begin and a resolution to the Major Depressive Episode can happen. Interventions for chronic, low grade depression are different than for acute, Major Depressive Episodes. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon to have both! Behavioral activation is an important CBT intervention to start chipping away at the block of ice that is MDD.

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.

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.

Rachel Leth

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
Michael views depression not as a permanent flaw, but as a complex emotional state often linked to "stuck" grief, lost purpose, or silenced parts of the self.
Depression can feel like a heavy fog that disconnects you from your vitality and sense of meaning. With over 35 years of expertise, Michael looks beyond the surface symptoms of fatigue and low mood to explore the deeper relational and developmental roots of this "stuckness." Often, depression is a signal of unresolved loss or internal conflicts that have been pushed out of conscious awareness. By working within a psychodynamic and Jungian framework, he helps you reconnect with your authentic self and rediscover purpose, moving from a state of mere survival toward a life that feels genuinely lived.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
Depression is often misunderstood, thought to be the same as sadness or grief. While there are certainly similarities, depression has a different quality to it. Depression can make you feel like you have no life spark. It can make you feel like time has stopped. It can feel like it is taking over your life. Depression may be primarily organic, due to a chemical imbalance, or it may be primarily situational, or it can be a combination of both. Therapy can be very helpful for a person experiencing depression. It provides a place where things that are hard to talk about can be worked through. Many times, past trauma, as well as current situations, contribute to depression. Over time, we may get into habits of thought, feeling, and behavior that also contribute to depression. Even dietary habits can contribute. I use a holistic approach with psychodynamic underpinnings to look at past history, past trauma, beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns, and health and self-care habits to help clients address their depression.

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.

Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
Depression colors your entire perception of self, which makes it hard (or impossible!) to talk yourself out of it. That's why I target depression from a behavioral standpoint in the early stages, getting you engaged in activities and relationships that are meaningful to you. Even if you feel like you're going through the motions at first, even a small amount of positive emotion can start to build momentum. As you begin to feel like a more engaged participant in your life, we'll explore the thoughts and feelings that perpetuate your depression, working to shift towards showing grace and gentleness toward yourself. My goal with clients is to provide skills that not only help pull you out of a current depressive episode, but increase your ability to recognize warning signs of depression in the future and feel confident you have the tools to cope.
