Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Over the years, I’ve seen many people move from feeling stuck, depleted, or hopeless to rediscovering energy, purpose, and a renewed sense of connection with life. While being depressed can feel like being trapped in a deep hole, therapy can serve as the ladder—together, we climb it step by step, helping you find your way back to a fuller, more vibrant life. Time and again, I’ve witnessed the power of momentum: how small, consistent steps can build upon each other to create profound and lasting change. Sometimes all it takes is the courage to take that first step.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)

Leslie Bowman, Holistic Psychotherapist
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC, Over 20 years of successful experience
Depression is debilitating! Having personally being depressed for many years, I understand the pain and suffering depression causes in us. From my own healing journey, I had to evaluate my entire body, not just my thoughts. Depression is caused by many factors and it's important to evaluate everything. My background in neuroscience, nutrition (gut-brain connection), and psychology is very useful in helping my clients understand the root causes of their depression and determine realistic ways to improve their lives. Reach out for a free consultation to learn more about how my Holistic Approach can help you.

Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include depression therapy, major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, low mood, motivation support, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ who are struggling with depression, persistent low mood, or feelings of hopelessness. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from life, relationships, and their sense of purpose. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed, helping clients identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and rebuild motivation and emotional resilience. Therapy is a space to explore what contributes to your depression, reduce self-criticism, and gradually regain a sense of balance, energy, and fulfillment in daily life.

Root & Rise Clinical Specialists
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
At Root & Rise, CBT is woven into our work as a foundational, evidence-based tool—not a one-size-fits-all formula. Our clinicians use CBT to help clients gain clarity around the thought patterns and behaviors that fuel anxiety and depression, while also integrating it with deeper, insight-oriented and trauma-informed approaches. We use CBT in a flexible, personalized way: identifying patterns, practicing new skills, challenging distortions, and building healthier coping strategies that support real, sustainable change. It’s one of the many modalities we blend to help clients move from awareness into action.

Hypnotherapist, Holistic Psychotherapist & Master Life Coach, MC. (Psy.), IAPMC
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.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Depression can ruin your life, yet it is one of the most treatable diseases we see. Talk therapy is highly effective. We can talk about your symptoms and develop practical ways for you to cope. Your mind may be telling you there is no hope, but that is not true.

Dawn McCarthy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Depression can make life feel like it is moving in slow motion, draining your energy, rewriting your self-worth, and wrapping your days in a heavy layer of exhaustion or numbness. I partner with individuals to help them gently break through this fog and reconnect with a sense of vitality and purpose. My approach balances immediate relief with long-term healing. We utilize practical CBT and DBT tools to build manageable daily routines, challenge dark or intrusive thought patterns, and spark small moments of behavioral activation. Simultaneously, we use advanced brain-body therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting, alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS), to heal the deeper wounds, past hurts, or protective parts of you that may be keeping you stuck in a state of emotional shutdown. Recovery isn't about forcing yourself to "snap out of it"—it's about building a safe space to process the pain and step back into a life that feels genuinely hopeful and vibrant.

Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, LMHC
We use evidenced based approaches to help people with the symptoms of depression. Our approach includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Each of these behavioral approaches help you learn specific tools and techniques to manage the difficult thoughts, like self-criticism and blame, feelings, like sadness and despair, and behaviors, like isolating from others. We will work with you to identify your goals for treatment and what you believe would be a meaningful, purpose driven life free from depression.

Boston's extraordinary concentration of universities — including Harvard, MIT, Boston University, and Northeastern — generates strong demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult transitions, and anxiety. The city is home to world-class mental health institutions including McLean Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, and many private therapists work in close collaboration with these systems. Boston's large student and young professional population drives high demand for therapists focusing on identity, relationships, and adjustment to major life changes. The city also has a significant immigrant population from Cape Verde, China, Vietnam, and Latin America, with bilingual and culturally informed therapists well represented.
