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!

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.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Depression often reflects more than sadness—it can signal unmet emotional needs, patterns in relationships, or early experiences that still shape your life. In our work, we gently explore what your feelings are communicating while offering a steady, supportive presence. By approaching depression with curiosity and care, it can become a doorway to understanding yourself more deeply and finding renewed connection and meaning.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Depression doesn’t always look like staying in bed. Sometimes it shows up as exhaustion, irritability, loss of motivation, or feeling disconnected from work, relationships, or even yourself. High-performing individuals often continue functioning on the outside while feeling flat or overwhelmed internally. In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you identify unhelpful thought patterns, re-engage with meaningful activities, and reconnect with your values. Together, we’ll work to reduce self-criticism, build sustainable energy, and help you move from simply getting through the day to feeling more present and engaged in your life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

While we all feel sad on occasion. Depression is a physical/chemical process. Depressed/sad mood along with loss of interest or pleasure for more than two weeks are main indicators of depression. Other symptoms which could indicated depression are insomnia, loss or increased weight, fatigue or loss of energy, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, hopelessness, helplessness or recurrent thoughts of death, talking about or an attempt of suicide. If you or someone you know talks about death or suicide get help from a mental health professional or physician as soon as possible. If you or someone you know has a plan or has the means to carry out suicide call 911 or take them to the nearest hospital immediately. Never leave someone alone if they intend or have the ability for suicide. Depression is a medical problem. If you have depression you need the help of a mental health professional or a physician to diagnose and treat your depression.

Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Depression can feel like walking through mud—everything takes more effort, joy feels out of reach, and even small tasks can seem overwhelming. Whether you're feeling numb, hopeless, exhausted, or just not like yourself, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to go through it without support.
With nearly 20 years of experience as a licensed psychologist, I help people navigate depression using evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based strategies, along with Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, and compassion-focused therapy. We’ll work together to gently uncover what’s underneath the heaviness, and find ways to reconnect you with purpose, meaning, and a sense of possibility.
You don’t have to pretend you’re fine here. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where your experience is honored, your story matters, and even small wins are worth celebrating. And yes, we might even find a few moments to laugh—because even in dark times, light still gets in.
If you're tired of feeling stuck, let’s talk. There’s a way forward, and I’d be honored to help you find it.
