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
Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
Often depression results from our environment or from faulty beliefs about ourselves or the world that we learned as a child. Subconsciously those work on us in a negative way. Finding the faulty subconscious thinking and retraining ourselves can often make a significant difference in our mood.

Depression
Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression can drain motivation, confidence, and the sense that anything will really change. We will take a steady approach that rebuilds momentum in manageable steps while also addressing the discouragement, self-criticism, and loss of meaning that often come with depression. The aim is to help you feel more like yourself again and move forward with a clearer sense of direction.

Chasity Goddard

Depression arises from avoiding, or having difficulty with, living in the present. Peace and calm are in the present instead of living in the past or the future. I use AAIT to help you fully experience the peace of the present.

Depression
MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Since I am not a licensed therapist, I'm not allowed to diagnose conditions such as Depression. This is a term that is often thrown around quite readily and clients often state they suffer from depression, whether or not they have been formally diagnosed by a therapist in the past. Generally, it is a rather broad diagnosis covering a wide range of behaviors. For hypnotists, many of these behaviors are simply a negative habit of mind that we can change, neutralizing many of the past traumas that have led to their problems. I have worked with many such clients, however. In many cases my clients have been in therapy for years, even decades, and while they understood the roots of their feelings, they got no relief. One of my earliest clients was a woman who suffered tremendous emotional abuse as a child and grew up with a crushing feeling of worthlessness. She became grossly overweight and worked at menial jobs her whole life, unable to form any successful and satisfying relationships. Through hypnosis, she was able to lose 170 pounds and after one session focused on her past trauma, she was so lightened of her lifelong burden of self loathing that she practically floated out of my office and she insisted on paying me double my fee. She has been free of her burdens now for 5 years and comes in once a year for a refresher session. I have had many such results in my practice.

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.

Knoxville is home to the University of Tennessee — the state's flagship research university — and serves as the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains and Appalachian outdoor recreation culture, giving it a distinctive blend of college-town energy and Appalachian heritage that shapes its therapy community. The city's growing healthcare sector, anchored by UT Medical Center and Covenant Health, provides institutional mental health resources and supplies clinical training to the local community. Knoxville's working-class Appalachian communities carry distinct cultural attitudes toward help-seeking — including strong value on self-reliance and community support — that therapists must navigate with cultural sensitivity. The University of Tennessee's psychology programs, combined with the city's proximity to Appalachian communities experiencing opioid-related crisis, mean addiction recovery and co-occurring trauma are among the most active areas in Knoxville's local therapy landscape.
