Ashton Burdick
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, NCC, LCMHC
Depression makes it hard to do every day things like getting out of the bed, putting on makeup, & going to work or class. Progress towards long term goals can feel impossible. Feeling down, and not knowing how to change it can get in the way of building the life you want. Together we can practice skills that can help you break the cycle of depression, improve your mood, question negative thoughts and self talk, and create the life you want. I enjoy helping women in their 20-40s & animal care professionals learn skills to manage depression & creating the life they want.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)

I have an existential focus in my practice that presumes that all individuals seek meaning, purpose, and self-actualization. I believe that depressive symptoms derive from a lack of meaning and purpose.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad Croyle provides trauma-informed therapy for depression, persistent sadness, emotional exhaustion, burnout, low motivation, hopelessness, and difficulty finding meaning or enjoyment in life. Many high-achieving professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, caregivers, and driven individuals silently struggle with depression while continuing to meet the demands of work, family, and daily responsibilities. Despite outward success, many feel emotionally disconnected, overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to experience fulfillment the way they once did.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to depression counseling, helping clients understand and address the deeper emotional, relational, and trauma-related factors that may be contributing to depressive symptoms. Depression is often more than simply “feeling sad.” It can stem from unresolved trauma, chronic stress, perfectionism, burnout, unhealthy relationship dynamics, attachment wounds, or years of carrying emotional burdens without adequate support.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support meaningful and lasting healing. Therapy focuses on helping clients process unresolved emotional pain, reduce emotional overwhelm, improve resilience, and reconnect with a greater sense of clarity, purpose, confidence, and emotional balance.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create a tailored treatment plan based on their unique goals, lifestyle, and personal experiences. Therapy is designed to go beyond surface-level coping strategies by helping clients identify and resolve the underlying patterns that continue to fuel depression, stress, and emotional disconnection.
Many high-functioning individuals have learned to push through emotional pain while appearing successful on the outside. Over time, this can lead to chronic stress, emotional fatigue, strained relationships, loss of motivation, and difficulty feeling present or fulfilled. Brad provides a supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental environment where clients can safely explore these challenges and begin making meaningful changes that improve both emotional health and quality of life.
The goal of therapy is not only symptom relief, but helping clients restore emotional balance, strengthen relationships, improve self-awareness, and create a healthier and more fulfilling life aligned with their values and goals.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to specialized trauma-focused therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.

Depression
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I assist individuals dealing with depression by using a blend of psychodynamic insights, evidence based practices and a strength-based approach. Fundamentally, I use a psychodynamic lens to help the client explore underlying emotional conflicts and past experiences that may contribute to their current struggles, fostering deeper self-awareness and insight. Regarding evidence based practices, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)to help to address negative thought patterns and behaviors, providing clients with practical tools to manage their symptoms effectively. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can also be helpful to incorporate into treatment given that depression often involves avoiding situations, people, or activities that could trigger negative emotions. ACT helps individuals confront and engage with these avoided aspects of life in a mindful and values-driven manner, reducing avoidance and increasing overall life engagement. By focusing on clients’ inherent strengths, passions and past successes, I also help them re-build a sense of self-efficacy, confidence and resilience which can impact and improve depressive symptoms. Lastly, I commonly develop collaborative relationships with clients physicians in order to offer a more integrated treatment plan that supports the clients healing.

Susanne R Mealer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression can have many levels/degrees and some people actually don't even realize that they are suffering from depressive symptoms, especially if they have been going on for a while. Depression can be very serious and should not be brushed off. Medication alone is not the answer.

Depression
Nicole Merrigan, LPA, PLLC
Psychologist, MA, LPA
Depression has a way of tricking us into isolation, making self-care feel impossible and stripping away the color from daily life. To break this heavy cycle, I use a combination of DBT and Behavioral Activation. Together, we will look at how depression alters your daily actions and inadvertently keeps you stuck. We will focus on "getting moving" in realistic, gentle ways—helping you establish supportive daily rhythms, practice better self-care, and deliberately reconnect with the activities, values, and sense of purpose that bring meaning back into your life.

Depression: Navigating the Deep Stillness
From Systemic Shutdown to Vitality
Depression is often described as "sadness," but for many, it feels more like a shut down—a heavy, gray fog that disconnects you from your vitality, your relationships, and your sense of self. It is a state of chronic burnout where the nervous system has opted for "freeze" because "fight or flight" no longer feels possible. In my practice, we approach depression with radical curiosity, looking for the light that still exists beneath the weight.
Understanding the Layers of the "Fog"
Depression is rarely a solo traveler; it is influenced by the systems we live in and the attachments we hold. We explore:
The Weight of the Mask: Addressing the exhaustion of "performing" wellness while feeling a profound internal overwhelm.
Systemic Despair: Using Systems Theory to acknowledge how social inequities, power imbalances, and environmental stressors contribute to a sense of hopelessness.
The Attachment Gap: Identifying the "emotional isolation" that often fuels depressive cycles, even when you are surrounded by people.
A Multidimensional Path to Recovery
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching modalities to help you gently re-engage with life:
EMDR for the "Core Beliefs": We use EMDR to target the "stuck" memories and negative self-narratives—like "I am a burden" or "It will never get better"—that keep the depressive cycle in motion.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "depressed part" of your system. Often, this part is trying to protect you from further pain by keeping you small and still. We work to build safety so this part can finally rest.
Nutrition-Informed Therapy: We look at the "gut-brain axis" and how physical nourishment and lifestyle rhythms impact your neurochemistry and mood.
Holding the Hope Until You Can
Whether you are experiencing a "situational dip" due to a life transition or have struggled with a "persistent low" for years, I provide a courageous space to do the heavy lifting. My goal is not just the absence of symptoms, but the presence of connection, agency, and joy.

Depression
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.
