Depression
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.

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression sometimes may feel like a mud pile, that we struggle to escape from. You may be experiencing sadness, loss of appetite, hopelessness, or loss of interest in activities or social interactions. You may struggle to find the motivation to change but you know you can benefit from a little transformation. Depression is a presenting symptom, it is not the root of the issue. Discovering and treating the root of the issue, so the symptom would not occur or repeat again is my goal as your therapist.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Depression often reflects more than sadness—it can signal unmet emotional needs, patterns in relationships, or early experiences that still shape your life. In our work, we gently explore what your feelings are communicating while offering a steady, supportive presence. By approaching depression with curiosity and care, it can become a doorway to understanding yourself more deeply and finding renewed connection and meaning.

NewBirth Counseling & Wellness Group LLC
Professional Christian Counselor, Certified Christian Counselor, Certified Life Coach & Consultant with a PhD in Psychology
Depression and anxiety also share an essential psychological component — namely, pushing people away from living in the present moment. Individuals with anxiety are continuously worried about the future, while people with depression are often focused on what has happened in the past. We focus in a Holistic/Christian way of counseling. Call our office to more information.

Depression can leave you feeling drained, disconnected, or stuck in a cycle of hopelessness. You may struggle to find motivation, pleasure, or meaning in daily life.

Depression
Mariko Roberts
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCPC
Depression is more than just sadness — it can quietly erode your motivation, strain your relationships, and make even small tasks feel impossible. I help clients move beyond simply surviving to understanding the patterns driving their depression and building real tools for lasting emotional balance. My goal is to help you reclaim a sense of hope, clarity, and to start feeling like yourself again.

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.

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.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting patients experiencing depression, I offer a compassionate and empathetic space for them to explore their feelings and experiences.

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

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.

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.

Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
Depression is one of the most common reasons people enter therapy. Stress, tragedy, long periods of overwork, and lack of self-care can all prompt depression. It can happen during life’s happiest moments too. From the birth of a child to new jobs or relationships, life transitions and change can bring about feelings of depression. Depression can feel confusing and hopeless. Luckily, there are excellent treatments for depression that can create real and lasting change.

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.

Depression
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.
