Depression
Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
In my therapeutic approach to helping individuals heal from depression, I draw upon my expertise as a licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist to provide a comprehensive and holistic path towards recovery. One of the core techniques I utilize is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which is highly effective in reshaping the way negative memories are stored in the brain. As a neuropsychologist, I focus on rewiring the brain to release the grip of negative thought patterns and facilitate the creation of new neuropathways centered around self-love, gratitude, and empowerment.
Recognizing the significant impact of repetitive thought patterns on mental well-being, I emphasize thought conditioning as a cornerstone of my approach. I empower individuals to rewire their brains for more adaptive thinking by teaching them techniques and strategies that lead to positive and constructive thought patterns. At the heart of my methodology is the cultivation of self-love, a fundamental component of mental and emotional healing.
To achieve these transformative goals, I integrate various therapeutic tools and practices, including affirmations, meditation, journaling, and self-care routines. Additionally, I possess the skills necessary to assist individuals in uncovering and addressing blind spots and underlying core beliefs that may be contributing to their depression. By guiding my clients through this comprehensive process, I aim to empower them to take control of their mental health, embrace self-love, and ultimately find their path towards a brighter, more fulfilling life.

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.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

Depression
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.

Depression
Dr. Hiyaguha Cohen
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPCA, MA, MFA
Depression tends to feed on itself, so I'll work with you to take action steps to break the cycle of depressed inertia. We'll use CBT to disrupt unhealthy thinking patterns that keep you miserable. For instance, you might catastrophize ("It couldn't be worse" or "I'll fail and be humiliated") or thinking in absolutes ("I'm the ugliest person in the room), or fortune-tell ("It will never get better," or "Nobody will ever love me"). Thinking like this keeps you from seeing what solutions might be available or from taking action. We'll also use EMDR to get to the root of the depression if it comes from old wounds and heal the contributing factors.

Depression
Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
Depression is the second most common issue I treat in my practice - ranging from grief and loss, to adjustment issues with a new job or new baby, to full blown clinical depression requiring adjuvant medication. The goal is to help you understand the underlying cause (which affects the course of treatment), while also empowering you to make changes and cope differently. At its root, depression is a feeling of helplessness and powerlessness, and we play to your strengths and supports to dig you out of that feeling toward one of choice and control.

Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Feeling stuck, hopeless, or disconnected can make everyday life feel heavy. I work with clients experiencing depression to explore the underlying causes, identify patterns, and develop practical strategies for coping and growth. Using an integrative approach, including CBT and DBT-informed techniques, I help clients regain motivation, reconnect with meaning, and gradually build a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we create a safe, compassionate space for healing and positive change.

Modern Wellness Family Counseling, LLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT/S, RPT/S
Are you having a difficult time handling the struggles in your life?
Could you use support on what you’re going through, or a non-judgmental therapist just to listen?
Do you think you could benefit the most from individualized attention?
Are you hesitant to talk to others about your problems?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then individual therapy could be the solution you’ve been seeking. Individual therapy differs from group or alternative therapy methods in the way that you are the sole focus of a single therapist who helps you develop and achieve your goals for therapy.
If you’ve been feeling hopeless or lost lately, or struggling with a problem in your life that feels unsurmountable, individual therapy could help you improve your everyday life. Individual therapy helps you win against whatever you’re battling by putting a real expert in your corner by means of a professional therapist.
So if any of these sound like you…
You keep worrying about the same problem over and over
You don’t know who you could ever trust with knowing about your secret struggle
You wish there was somebody who could tell you why you feel this way
You’re interested in therapy, but you don’t want to give up total control
Other areas of your life are being negatively impacted by your struggle
You need somebody to listen to you and your feelings for once
You’re interested in therapy, but not sure how it could fit into your life
…Then individual therapy could be right for you.
Individual therapy is so helpful for so many people because it’s the best way to get truly customized therapy. Group therapy may have its own set of numerous advantages but if you want more control over the pacing of your therapy, the methods used, the amount of analysis or feedback you can receive, and the timing of your sessions, you owe it to yourself to look into individual therapy.
If you’re looking for help improving your everyday life – or for a more tailored therapy experience – you would be a great fit for our individual therapy services. Please reach out to us today for more information or to schedule your first appointment.

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.
