Depression
Tomeki Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, NCC, LPC
Depression is a disorder that thrives off isolation. Its grasp tightens as the person affected withdraws from the people and activities that would normally bring them joy. When treating clients suffering with depression, I employ an integrative therapeutic approach to fit the needs of the individual as depression does not look the same for every person.

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
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Depression can make everything feel incredibly heavy—even simple tasks can feel overwhelming, and things you once enjoyed might not feel the same anymore (often known as anhedonia). Dr. Jenny Shields specializes in helping driven professionals move through depression, using evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and behavioral activation. Her approach is warm, highly personalized, and grounded in what research tells us really works. Dr. Shields partners with you to uncover what’s keeping you stuck, helping you reconnect to your values, rebuild your energy, and ultimately rediscover joy, clarity, and motivation in your life again.

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.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address depression by providing a holistic and faith-based approach to healing. Integrating psychological insights with Christian principles, I incorporate prayer, scriptural guidance, and discussions on hope and faith into therapy sessions. Recognizing the spiritual dimension of depression, I help individuals explore the connection between their faith and emotional well-being. Encouraging clients to lean on biblical promises of comfort and strength, I integrate cognitive-behavioral strategies to challenge negative thought patterns. Fostering a sense of purpose and meaning in alignment with Christian values, I collaborate with clients to develop coping mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of seeking support from their faith community. This integrative approach aims to address the multifaceted aspects of depression, empowering individuals to find solace in their Christian beliefs and work towards emotional healing and recovery.

Linda Friedman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Feeling weighed down by sadness, loss of interest, or a sense of disconnection leads to feeling less fulfilled day to day. I will help you create a path forward by focusing not on eliminating difficult feelings, but on learning to accept them while actively committing to actions that align with your values and create a rich and meaningful life. My approach is rooted in the principles of ACT, helping you to break free from the cycle of avoidance and move towards a life filled with purpose and engagement.

Depression
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many of the adults I work with are high‑functioning professionals and students, often in high‑responsibility or high‑pressure roles, who are not falling apart on the outside. They go to work, show up for others, and do what needs to be done. Inside, things may feel flat, heavy, or empty. What once mattered now feels distant. Getting through the day can take more effort than anyone around you realizes. Depression can look like sadness, but it can also look like numbness, irritability, withdrawal, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. You might notice difficulty getting started even on things you care about, feeling tired all the time or both on edge and drained, pulling away from friends or activities, harsh self‑criticism or a sense of worthlessness, or thoughts that life will never really feel different. In our work together, we take your experience seriously without rushing to fix it. We look at how depression shows up in your body, thoughts, and relationships, and at the contexts that may be shaping it, such as trauma, identity stress, chronic pain or illness, caregiving, or high‑pressure work and school environments. I offer a stable, non‑pressuring space where you do not have to pretend you are okay. From there, we begin to notice what lightens things even slightly, what still matters to you, and what small shifts are possible at a pace that respects your nervous system and your life.

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
Kasia Ciszewski
Therapist, LPC
Depression is often unseen by many. Some days you can stir up the strength to smile and get out of bed, but most days you feel worthless, numb, and alone. And every day, you’d rather be a ghost just so you can avoid everybody and everything.
