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 approach depression by helping clients reconnect with meaning, values, and a sense of agency, rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
In my therapeutic approach to helping individuals heal from depression, I draw upon my expertise as a licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist to provide a comprehensive and holistic path towards recovery. One of the core techniques I utilize is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which is highly effective in reshaping the way negative memories are stored in the brain. As a neuropsychologist, I focus on rewiring the brain to release the grip of negative thought patterns and facilitate the creation of new neuropathways centered around self-love, gratitude, and empowerment.
Recognizing the significant impact of repetitive thought patterns on mental well-being, I emphasize thought conditioning as a cornerstone of my approach. I empower individuals to rewire their brains for more adaptive thinking by teaching them techniques and strategies that lead to positive and constructive thought patterns. At the heart of my methodology is the cultivation of self-love, a fundamental component of mental and emotional healing.
To achieve these transformative goals, I integrate various therapeutic tools and practices, including affirmations, meditation, journaling, and self-care routines. Additionally, I possess the skills necessary to assist individuals in uncovering and addressing blind spots and underlying core beliefs that may be contributing to their depression. By guiding my clients through this comprehensive process, I aim to empower them to take control of their mental health, embrace self-love, and ultimately find their path towards a brighter, more fulfilling life.

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.
