Are you struggling with feelings of hopelessness, fatigue, and a lack of motivation? Depression is both common and debilitating, often making it hard to see a way out. You may find it difficult to engage in activities that once brought you joy, or feel like you’re just going through the motions of life without any real purpose.
I understand how overwhelming and isolating depression can be. My approach to treating depression is compassionate and integrative, focusing on the mind, body, and soul. Together, we will explore the root causes of your depression and work on healing from within. Using a blend of holistic and synergistic techniques, we will create a personalized plan to help you regain your energy and rediscover your sense of hope.
In our sessions, you’ll find a safe and nurturing environment where you can openly express your feelings without fear of judgment. We will uncover your inner strengths, build emotional resilience, and develop practical strategies to manage and alleviate depressive symptoms. My goal is to support you in finding relief and helping you move towards a more balanced, fulfilling, and joyful life.

Depression
Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals experiencing depression in its many forms, from persistent low mood and loss of motivation to more complex, longstanding patterns of disconnection and hopelessness. Depression often impacts not just how someone feels, but how they see themselves, their relationships, and their future.
My approach is both compassionate and active. I focus on understanding the underlying emotional and relational patterns that contribute to depression, while also helping clients re-engage with their lives in meaningful, manageable ways. Together, we work to identify what may be keeping them stuck, build greater emotional awareness, and gradually restore a sense of agency, connection, and vitality.
I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without being overwhelmed, and supported without being pushed too quickly—allowing change to unfold in a way that is both sustainable and deeply felt.

Jennifer Francke Psychotherapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, LPC, LADC, LMHC
Living with depression can feel isolating and overwhelming, affecting every part of your life. Whether you’re dealing with persistent sadness, fatigue, hopelessness, or a lack of interest in things you once enjoyed, depression can make even the smallest tasks feel impossible. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions, and to break free from the cycle of negative thinking. I use a variety of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to challenge negative beliefs, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), which focuses on improving relationships that may contribute to your depression. Mindfulness techniques help you stay grounded in the present moment, while Behavioral Activation encourages you to engage in rewarding activities, even when motivation is low. My goal is to help you regain a sense of purpose and joy, rebuild your confidence, and develop healthy coping strategies to manage difficult emotions. Together, we can work to understand the underlying causes of your depression and create a brighter future. You don’t have to face depression alone—therapy can help you rediscover hope and take the first step toward healing.

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.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Depression can manifest in many different ways for different people. Some are struggling to recover from a loss or setback and just can't find a way to get back to their old selves. Others may have struggled with shifting mood, confidence, energy, self-esteem, etc. for what seems like their whole lives and very few things seem to work. Many individuals used to have a full life with many rewarding relationships and activities but, at some point, what used to bring them happiness no longer does it for them. Finally, some people experience depressive "episodes" beginning in their late teens or early adulthood that appear to come and go without any trigger and feel more like a traditional "chemical imbalance." My approach to depression offers something different for individuals who have not had much success with traditional CBT and/or "talk" therapies. I utilized a combination evidence-based behavioral activities and emotion regulation skills to first restore positive experiences in your day to day life. Once short-term strategies for increasing wellbeing have been established, we will explore and process the impact depression has had across your life to further build your resilience against future recurrences of unhelpful mood fluctuations.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Low mood that does not lift, loss of motivation, the heaviness of getting through the day. Depression has many causes and is best supported by a team that may include a medical doctor and a licensed mental health professional. Within that picture, RTT can be a powerful complement. It works at the subconscious level to find and update the beliefs that often sit underneath low mood, things like "I am not enough", "I do not matter" or "nothing I do will change anything". When those root beliefs shift, many clients describe feeling lighter and more able to engage with life again. If you are currently under medical care, please continue to work with your provider. I am happy to work alongside them.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Are you a high-functioning, self-reliant woman who cycles through periods of emotional pain that you keep hidden from others? Perfectly hidden depression is a term for appearing successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing severe emotional pain. Coined by psychologist Dr. Margaret Rutherford, perfectly hidden depression hides behind anxious perfectionism that is trying to compensate for unhealed shame and a fear of emotional vulnerability. I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.
