Whether you're experiencing persistent sadness, lack of motivation, or just don’t feel like yourself anymore, you're not alone—and there is a way forward.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in depression, my treatment approach is comprehensive and tailored to each individual's needs. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to their depression. By exploring underlying factors such as past traumas, life stressors, and interpersonal conflicts, we develop coping strategies and problem-solving skills to manage symptoms effectively. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, including regular exercise, healthy sleep habits, and social support networks, to promote overall well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to regain a sense of control over their lives, enhance resilience, and experience greater fulfillment and joy.

The Joy of You
Hypnotherapist, CCHt, NWP, EP, B.Msc
Depression causes persistent feelings of sadness and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. In cognitive therapy, you’ll learn about symptoms like intrusive thoughts related to trauma. The focus is on processing the experience, questioning negative self-thinking, and reframing those thoughts.

Depression
Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I approach depression as a meaningful response to stress, loss, trauma, and disconnection—not a personal failure or lack of willpower. Depression often shows up when the nervous system has been overwhelmed for too long, or when people have learned to carry pain quietly. In therapy, we work to understand how depression functions in your life, what it may be communicating, and how it has helped you survive.
Our work is gentle, collaborative, and paced with care. Together, we focus on increasing support, reconnecting with a sense of agency, and rebuilding access to pleasure, rest, and meaningful connection. Rather than pushing for constant positivity or productivity, therapy becomes a space to cultivate compassion, restore energy, and create sustainable shifts that honor both your capacity and your humanity.

Depression
Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I approach depression initially by exploring your life circumstances and/or the thoughts going through your head that are trigging your mood. There are times when we may want to look at the old tape recordings playing through your head triggering depression. Once I have an idea of what is fueling your depression then we can target that. I teach your how to use thought strategies and behavior strategies to reduce depression and improve your mood. My goal is to teach you several tools so that in any given situation, you have a tool to use.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Behind Depression is anger and behind the anger is the breakdown or dysfunction in our relationships. Over a lifetime, relational pain builds up, we suppress it cause we can't resolve it and we put up walls and pull away. We become more isolated and in the relational disconnection we lose joy in our life. If you are experiencing depression, call us, we can help you.

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.

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
Robert Good
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., Th.M., LPC, CART
Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.

Depression
Restoration Counseling Ministries
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
Depression can suck the life out of a person. It can take away motivation to do things that previously were very important. It is a lot like a heavy blanket that covers a person's whole body, making a darkness that can seem overwhelming. Fortunately, with effective counseling, the light begins to shine again and the weights can come off!

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.

St. Louis sits at a crossroads of the Midwest and the South, and its deeply segregated geography shapes a mental health landscape where therapists frequently address racial trauma, economic stress, and community-level grief rooted in the city's long history of systemic inequality. The 2014 Ferguson uprising brought national attention to St. Louis and left a lasting psychological mark on many residents, and therapists specializing in racial trauma, activism fatigue, and community healing remain in strong demand. Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital provide world-class institutional mental health resources, with a strong private practice community concentrated in Clayton, the Central West End, and South City. St. Louis's lower cost of living relative to coastal cities makes quality private therapy more financially accessible for many residents.
