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.

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
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.

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
Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Everything takes more effort than it should. Getting out of bed. Returning texts. Caring about things you used to care about. From the outside your life might look fine, but inside you're running on empty and wondering when you started feeling so disconnected from yourself. Depression lies to you. It tells you nothing will help, that you've always been this way, that you're a burden for even talking about it. We know how to work with depression, how to help you find your way back to yourself without pretending it's as simple as thinking positive thoughts. This is slow, honest work, and we'll be with you for it. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Craig Springer
Psychologist, PhD
Is sadness and despair overwhelming your experience of yourself and the world?
Do you feel as if a dark cloud is hovering over you?
Do even the simplest things seem too difficult to accomplish?
Do you wish you could just leave, even though you don’t even know where to go?
Are feelings of helplessness overwhelming you?
If you can identify with these descriptions, then you may be struggling with clinical depression. Depression can be temporary striking because of overwhelming life events or it can be more persistent.
Regardless of its source, there is effective treatment for these symptoms. I have extensive experience in helping clients improve their mood and quality of their life. I rely on evidence-based methods that can relieve emotional pain and aid clients’ recovery from debilitating symptoms.
I would love to partner with you to help you get you back to the enjoyment you want. Treatment can bring back positive feelings, allowing you to improve your connection with yourself and others, achieve fulfillment and help you to function at your best.
So if you’ve said to yourself…
“I can’t do anything right.”
“I’m a failure”
“There is no point to even trying.”
“ I’m doomed.”
“Nobody cares….”
“I wish I wasn’t here.”
… Then, let me help you. Give yourself a chance for a better life. You already took the first step by visiting this page. Contact me today so that we can discuss a plan to get you back on track.

Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Depression can make it extremely difficult to move through the world. Maybe you are feeling down, questioning your worth, or struggling to find pleasure in things you usually enjoy. When people are depressed, it can be extremely difficult to engage in the world. Finding a therapist who specializes in treating depression is an important step that can help you to start re-engaging. I provide a supportive space to process your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we can work on helping you identify small steps you can take to gradually increase your energy and motivation over time. We can also focus on helping you to identify and challenge distorted ways of thinking that are likely worsening your depression. You don't have to stay stuck and isolated. I would be honored to help you work through this difficult season.
