Depression
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.

Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW

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.

Depression
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.

My goal is to help you reclaim a sense of hope, clarity, and to start feeling like yourself again.

I work with individuals experiencing depression by helping them understand patterns such as low motivation, withdrawal, and negative self-talk that can keep them feeling stuck. Depression can impact mood, energy, relationships, and your sense of purpose. In therapy, we focus on building small, meaningful changes in daily life while also addressing the thoughts and beliefs that contribute to feeling hopeless or disconnected. I use CBT-based strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and support clients in re-engaging with activities and values that bring a greater sense of purpose and direction.

Depression
Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Depression isn’t just sadness—it can feel like a fog that dulls your motivation, isolates you from others, and makes even simple tasks feel insurmountable. Whether you're experiencing persistent low mood, burnout, or a loss of purpose, I offer a structured, evidence-based approach to help you reconnect with meaning and momentum.
My treatment integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation, and Schema Therapy to address both the symptoms and the underlying patterns that sustain depression. We’ll explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and core beliefs interact—and develop practical strategies to restore energy, engagement, and emotional clarity. For clients navigating complex transitions or existential concerns, I also incorporate Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and values-based decision tools.
Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a high-functioning exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that supports both immediate relief and long-term resilience.

Depression
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.

I provide evidence-based techniques and strategies to help manage their symptoms, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and lifestyle modifications.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC

Depression can feel like a silent, heavy weight—but having someone who can hold space and hope for you can be profoundly healing.

Depression
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.
