Depression
Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
With depression, things can feel incredibly exhausting - and most steps to take towards getting out of a depressive episode can feel forced. I work with people to find realistic steps in decreasing the intensity of their depression, and find a path towards relief. This often includes a collaboration between building coping skills, and exploring the triggers to your depression. I have gotten feedback that my space provides a nice balance of processing and finding sustainable steps in reducing depression.

Pamela Brewer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, Ph.D, LCSW-C,DCSW
Too often we and others can blame when depression exists. People do not choose to be depressed. We can look at where/how the depression was created and actionable options for reduction.

Depression
Wendy Myers
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC
Depression can feel heavy and isolating, but it doesn't have to stay that way. In our sessions, we work through what is behind your depression and then give you strategies for how to transform those feelings into ones of empowerment and control. Wouldn't it feel nice to take a deep breath and know everything will be okay? Whether you're experiencing fatigue, crying spells, isolation, overwhelm, changes in appetite or sleeping, low motivation, or emotional numbness, we work through those feelings to get you to the other side.

Depression
Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
When navigating the "deep end" of Depression, we use somatic focusing to find the small, flickering pilot light of your own testimony. As a clinician who understands the weight of systemic harm, I don't just "fix" your mood; I partner with you to witness the history that brought you here. Together, we move toward a reclamation of hope that is grounded in reality, not platitudes.

Depression
David B. Shaw, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In my psychotherapy for depression, I help you break the cycle of low energy and persistent sadness by identifying and reframing the automatic negative thoughts that weigh you down. I utilize evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and behavioral activation to support you in gradually re-engaging with rewarding activities and restoring your daily functioning. By teaching you practical coping skills, I work alongside you to build a sense of hope and increase your long-term resilience against future episodes.

Depression
Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
Depression is often misunderstood, thought to be the same as sadness or grief. While there are certainly similarities, depression has a different quality to it. Depression can make you feel like you have no life spark. It can make you feel like time has stopped. It can feel like it is taking over your life. Depression may be primarily organic, due to a chemical imbalance, or it may be primarily situational, or it can be a combination of both. Therapy can be very helpful for a person experiencing depression. It provides a place where things that are hard to talk about can be worked through. Many times, past trauma, as well as current situations, contribute to depression. Over time, we may get into habits of thought, feeling, and behavior that also contribute to depression. Even dietary habits can contribute. I use a holistic approach with psychodynamic underpinnings to look at past history, past trauma, beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns, and health and self-care habits to help clients address their depression.

Depression
Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
For 50 years I have worked successfully with depressed clients as individuals, in couples, and in families and groups. Some of my clients are taking medication prescribed by psychiatrists while utilizing Mindfulness, Guided Imagery with Music (GIM) approaches and other forms of psychotherapy with me. Studies at the National Institute of Health (NIH) shows that Mindfulness and GIM techniques are related to lower levels of depression. I offer free zoom seminars in order to give a taste of Mindfulness and GIM techniques, promote a hopeful view of life and help people to deal with feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, stress, and relationships.

Depression
Kimberly Turner-Frazier
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, LPC
Depression can make the simplest tasks feel insurmountable, often leaving you feeling disconnected from the things you once loved. In my practice, I work with adults and adolescents to gently navigate these heavy emotions. Using a collaborative approach grounded in CBT, we will focus on identifying negative thought patterns and gradually reintroducing activities that bring a sense of accomplishment and joy. My goal is to help you rediscover your energy and find a path out of the fog toward a more hopeful, balanced life.

Depression
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many of the adults I work with are high‑functioning professionals and students, often in high‑responsibility or high‑pressure roles, who are not falling apart on the outside. They go to work, show up for others, and do what needs to be done. Inside, things may feel flat, heavy, or empty. What once mattered now feels distant. Getting through the day can take more effort than anyone around you realizes. Depression can look like sadness, but it can also look like numbness, irritability, withdrawal, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. You might notice difficulty getting started even on things you care about, feeling tired all the time or both on edge and drained, pulling away from friends or activities, harsh self‑criticism or a sense of worthlessness, or thoughts that life will never really feel different. In our work together, we take your experience seriously without rushing to fix it. We look at how depression shows up in your body, thoughts, and relationships, and at the contexts that may be shaping it, such as trauma, identity stress, chronic pain or illness, caregiving, or high‑pressure work and school environments. I offer a stable, non‑pressuring space where you do not have to pretend you are okay. From there, we begin to notice what lightens things even slightly, what still matters to you, and what small shifts are possible at a pace that respects your nervous system and your life.

Depression
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Depression is often an expression of emotional loss, internal conflict, and blocked vitality rather than a problem to be treated only at the level of symptoms. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration, somatic awareness, and hypnosis to understand how sadness, withdrawal, and numbness are shaped by early relational experience and lived in the body. Together, we work toward restoring emotional movement, self-understanding, and a renewed capacity for connection and aliveness.

Depression
Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
When treating depression I typically take a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach. We look at how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and how when in a negative mindset we can spiral ourselves deeper into depression. We will also examine our negative self-talk and or irrational beliefs that could be contributing to depression as well as a holistic approach that encourages a healthy lifestyle and behavioral activation (taking action).

Depression
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
When depression takes hold, even capable and responsible people may find their energy, motivation, and focus gradually fading. What once felt manageable can begin to feel heavy or overwhelming. I provide structured, evidence-based therapy to help clients better understand depression, regain momentum, and reconnect with a sense of direction and engagement in their lives.

Depression
MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Since I am not a licensed therapist, I'm not allowed to diagnose conditions such as Depression. This is a term that is often thrown around quite readily and clients often state they suffer from depression, whether or not they have been formally diagnosed by a therapist in the past. Generally, it is a rather broad diagnosis covering a wide range of behaviors. For hypnotists, many of these behaviors are simply a negative habit of mind that we can change, neutralizing many of the past traumas that have led to their problems. I have worked with many such clients, however. In many cases my clients have been in therapy for years, even decades, and while they understood the roots of their feelings, they got no relief. One of my earliest clients was a woman who suffered tremendous emotional abuse as a child and grew up with a crushing feeling of worthlessness. She became grossly overweight and worked at menial jobs her whole life, unable to form any successful and satisfying relationships. Through hypnosis, she was able to lose 170 pounds and after one session focused on her past trauma, she was so lightened of her lifelong burden of self loathing that she practically floated out of my office and she insisted on paying me double my fee. She has been free of her burdens now for 5 years and comes in once a year for a refresher session. I have had many such results in my practice.

Depression is the common cold of an outpatient psychotherapy practice. A multi-modal approach to depression is essential to conquering this often treatment resistant condition.
