Depression
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Depression is not sadness. Sadness moves. Depression is what happens when a person has been cut off from the things that would allow them to feel anything at all — desire, anger, grief, want. It is a withdrawal from the full range of being alive, and it often began as protection. Something was too much, and the system shut down. The work is not to cheer you up. The work is to find out what got buried and whether it is safe, now, to feel it.

Depression
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Depression rarely looks the same in every person — for many adults it shows up as persistent exhaustion, emotional numbness, loss of motivation, or a quiet sense that something is fundamentally wrong. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults and couples navigate depression, major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, and chronic low mood using a personalized, evidence-based approach. Treatment integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care to address both the symptoms and the deeper patterns driving them. Telehealth therapy for depression available across 40+ states.

Depression
Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
I know depression. I know its pain. I know the feeling of desperation and feeling totally disempowered and frightened that often comes with depression.
I became a clinical psychologist precisely because I wanted to learn how to help people who suffer with depression as I have in the past. It is black and it is lonely. But it does not have to be allowed to take over your life. You CAN take your life back by taking your mood back. I can show you how to begin to do it.
People too frequently say "I am depressed" when what they really mean is "I feel sad". "Depression" is a clinical disorder, and it is only appropriate to say someone is "depressed" if they meet all the criteria for depression.
Assessments of depression will measure the clinical symptoms of depression but what does it FEEL like on a daily basis? When you feel depressed, you are not thinking about the clinical symptoms, you are thinking and feeling more along the lines of just being "stuck".
In fact the experience of depression is feeling "stuck in present pain." The pain is NOW, the feeling of not being able to get out of it is NOW, and the stuck "I can't get out of this" feeling produces discouragement, frustration, sadness, very negative views of ourselves, and hopelessness--all emotions that seem to cause us to sink a little deeper every day.
I can help you get unstuck--contact me and let's begin to work to get you feeling more empowered, unstuck, moving forward again, and happier.

Kristy Spriggs
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
I get it. Being alive can be hard sometimes. Sometimes just getting out of bed in the morning can feel like running a marathon. If you also struggle to brush your teeth sometimes, or haven't changed your clothes in days, or it feels like everyone in the world is happy but you... I can help with that.

Depression
Raber Hamad
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Depression can make even the simplest things feel overwhelming. Maybe you wake up feeling drained before the day even starts, struggling to find motivation or joy in things that used to matter. It might feel like you’re just going through the motions—disconnected, numb, or weighed down by a heaviness you can’t shake. You tell yourself to “snap out of it,” but no matter how hard you try, it doesn’t work.
You’re not broken, and you don’t have to do this alone. Depression isn’t just sadness—it’s your mind and body responding to deep exhaustion, unprocessed pain, or overwhelming stress. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and other research-backed approaches, we’ll work together to understand what’s beneath the surface, so you can move from just surviving to actually feeling alive again.

Depression
Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
The word "depression" is often used by most everyone in our culture. As such, many people tend to equate sadness or feeling blue with being "depressed." One of the chief preliminary understandings I bring to the table is skill in diagnosing Major Depressive Disorder from having worked as a mobile crisis counselor, having seen many clients with suicidal ideation over the years. I understand that Major Depression is no something one can easily will away by just doing a bit more exercise or trying to think positively. I realize that clients who live with depression often have people in their lives telling them to get over it, move on, pray it away etc. In addition to not using these platitudes with clients, I recognize that people living with MDD often need a combined approach of therapy and medication. If you have never tried meds or seen a psychiatrist, I will help you figure out whether you should explore this. Also, given my clinical background, I do not overreact to clients having suicidal thoughts or severe depression, so these topics can be talked about openly with me without fear of me operating from a reactive stance.

Cheryl S Rubenstein
Psychologist, PhD
Depression has been referred to as, “The Black Dog.” It can be all consuming and requires a compassionate approach. Sometimes it is helpful to involve a psychiatrist to see if medication might be useful, but this is not always the case.
