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.

Peter Hoistad
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, LADC
Working through depression is something I have lots of experience with. The biggest thing to remember is that it takes a long time to change the way something has affected someone, so keeping in mind that it is a marathon and not a sprint helps build the foundations to overcoming the depressive symptoms.

Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
Often depression results from our environment or from faulty beliefs about ourselves or the world that we learned as a child. Subconsciously those work on us in a negative way. Finding the faulty subconscious thinking and retraining ourselves can often make a significant difference in our mood.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
We approach depression as a complex, multifaceted experience that cannot be reduced to a single cause or treated with a one-size-fits-all method. Each person’s depression is shaped by a unique interplay of biological, psychological, relational, and environmental factors, and we tailor our work accordingly. Our approach is integrative and draws from several evidence-based therapeutic orientations. From Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be maintaining depressive symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) informs our focus on helping clients develop psychological flexibility, build a different relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings, and reconnect with what matters most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for managing intense emotions, increasing distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Schema Therapy allows us to explore and work through deeper, longstanding patterns rooted in early life experiences that often underlie chronic or recurring depression. Rather than applying these approaches rigidly, we integrate them in a way that fits each individual’s needs, goals, and values. Our aim is not only to reduce symptoms, but to support clients in building a more meaningful, resilient, and self-compassionate way of living.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
Depression is the second most common issue I treat in my practice - ranging from grief and loss, to adjustment issues with a new job or new baby, to full blown clinical depression requiring adjuvant medication. The goal is to help you understand the underlying cause (which affects the course of treatment), while also empowering you to make changes and cope differently. At its root, depression is a feeling of helplessness and powerlessness, and we play to your strengths and supports to dig you out of that feeling toward one of choice and control.

Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
Feeling down and blue is a normal, healthy, human experience. Having clinical depression is another thing and requires a trained professional to help you understand the difference. Basically, clinical depression is normal depression that goes to an extreme level and gets stuck there. Most people need assistance of one sort or the other to get back to normal functioning once they reach this point.
br>I will help you first determine where you are along the spectrum from feeling somewhere down and actually being stuck in depression. We'll then look at options available to you to help you feel better and begin enjoying life again.

Rick Brodsky
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Depression is very common, yet the origins and its presentation can be variable. We can explore what methodologies are a best fit for you. Typically, I find psychodynamic talk therapy to be useful as we work collaboratively to develop insight and understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy can provide us many strategies and new perspectives. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps us to think flexibly and make choices that are aligned with our values.

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.
