Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
Depression colors your entire perception of self, which makes it hard (or impossible!) to talk yourself out of it. That's why I target depression from a behavioral standpoint in the early stages, getting you engaged in activities and relationships that are meaningful to you. Even if you feel like you're going through the motions at first, even a small amount of positive emotion can start to build momentum. As you begin to feel like a more engaged participant in your life, we'll explore the thoughts and feelings that perpetuate your depression, working to shift towards showing grace and gentleness toward yourself. My goal with clients is to provide skills that not only help pull you out of a current depressive episode, but increase your ability to recognize warning signs of depression in the future and feel confident you have the tools to cope.

Dr. Qatana Samanen
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I work with my clients to identify the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to their feelings of depression. As you change the root causes of the depression, you naturally experience greater happiness and well-being in your life.
We'll use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify the thoughts and beliefs that underlie your feelings of depression. We’ll work together to replace these with more positive attitudes that help improve your mood.
People who are depressed tend to be hyper-focused on all that’s wrong in their lives. You will learn to focus on the things that create happiness for you, however small they may seem. Research has shown that gratitude powerfully expands and improves happiness and satisfaction in people's lives.
We can use Interactive Imagery to return to any traumatic event in your past that may be contributing to your depression. Viewing these experiences from a different perspective empowers you to release depressive thoughts and feelings and enjoy new levels of happiness and well-being in your life.

Peter D. Ruffini
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II
Depression in men often looks like exhaustion, numbness, irritability, loss of motivation, or quiet withdrawal rather than sadness alone. I work with men whose depression is tied to chronic stress, trauma, shame, or unresolved internal conflicts. Treatment is active and structured, focused on restoring engagement, emotional range, and direction rather than remaining stuck in symptom monitoring.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Like anxiety, I have been challenged with depression at various times in my life. Depression is living in the past with repressed anger at the self and not being able to be present. Once again, in Hypnotherapy when one is depressed we want to go back to another time in our past when we felt numb, depressed, hopeless, unresolved/incomplete grieving, etc. Usually, there is fear, shame, guilt, or loneliness draped over self anger preventing us from feeling the anger, grieving the loss, and moving on with sadness yet freedom. I've had many clients over the years, especially men who do not want to feel, go back to a time of loss and just shut down. When they can fully extinguish any feelings of guilt, fear, shame, and loneliness, and then fully experience the anger and corresponding sadness with their loss, they frequently sob and the water gates open to freedom and a lightness with themselves that had been lacking for so long.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Depression often feels like being weighed down by hopelessness or self-criticism. My work integrates IFS to uncover the shame and pain beneath these feelings, combined with approaches like meditation/mindfulness, somatic sensing, and interpersonal neurobiology, and existential therapies to support healing and re-engagement with life. I frequently work alongside prescribers for medication support and use thorough differential diagnosis to distinguish depression from trauma responses, bipolar disorder, or grief.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Therapy and medication are shown to have the greatest results in overcoming depression. Many times a period of sadness or feeling depressed are more about the circumstances a person finds themself in. With an eye to potential needs beyond the scope of therapy, uncovering the root of the issue and making changes to the system you find yourself in will be our focus.

22 Years Experience
Online in Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
