Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD

Depression
Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Are you a high-functioning, self-reliant woman who cycles through periods of emotional pain that you keep hidden from others? Perfectly hidden depression is a term for appearing successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing severe emotional pain. Coined by psychologist Dr. Margaret Rutherford, perfectly hidden depression hides behind anxious perfectionism that is trying to compensate for unhealed shame and a fear of emotional vulnerability. I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.

Depression
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.

Depression
Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Depression isn’t just sadness—it can feel like a fog that dulls your motivation, isolates you from others, and makes even simple tasks feel insurmountable. Whether you're experiencing persistent low mood, burnout, or a loss of purpose, I offer a structured, evidence-based approach to help you reconnect with meaning and momentum.
My treatment integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation, and Schema Therapy to address both the symptoms and the underlying patterns that sustain depression. We’ll explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and core beliefs interact—and develop practical strategies to restore energy, engagement, and emotional clarity. For clients navigating complex transitions or existential concerns, I also incorporate Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and values-based decision tools.
Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a high-functioning exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that supports both immediate relief and long-term resilience.

Depression
Carrie Jones, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LifeVision Counseling, LLC
Depression is extremely common. It includes having a persistent feeling of sadness or loss of pleasure for a period of time. Depression can affect everyone differently. Symptoms can include feeling sad, empty, or hopeless. It can lead to loss of interest in usual activities, changes in sleep and appetite, difficulty concentrating, and fixation on the past. Sometimes, depression is related to a particular circumstance, your perception of the world around you, or being afraid to choose to live the most authentic version of yourself. Fortunately, therapy can provide a safe and supportive place for you to identify underlying causes, gain insight to patterns of thoughts and feelings, challenge negative perceptions, develop tools for recovery, choose a new path, and empower you to take charge of your mental well-being.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
People think depression is all about crying and feeling bad for yourself, but you know better. You know that it feels like wearing a lead blanket, all the time. It feels like life is in black and white. It feels like losing your "wanting", like there's nothing worth wanting left. Your depression tells you this is forever, that life has always been like this and it always will be like this.
Stop right there, depression! Your brain is lying to you, and you know it! That's why you're looking into therapy. You're right, there is hope. You're right, life isn't always like this. Let's get working to help lift this fog and bring you out of the misery and back into the present moment.

Depression
Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Depression can manifest in many different ways for different people. Some are struggling to recover from a loss or setback and just can't find a way to get back to their old selves. Others may have struggled with shifting mood, confidence, energy, self-esteem, etc. for what seems like their whole lives and very few things seem to work. Many individuals used to have a full life with many rewarding relationships and activities but, at some point, what used to bring them happiness no longer does it for them. Finally, some people experience depressive "episodes" beginning in their late teens or early adulthood that appear to come and go without any trigger and feel more like a traditional "chemical imbalance." My approach to depression offers something different for individuals who have not had much success with traditional CBT and/or "talk" therapies. I utilized a combination evidence-based behavioral activities and emotion regulation skills to first restore positive experiences in your day to day life. Once short-term strategies for increasing wellbeing have been established, we will explore and process the impact depression has had across your life to further build your resilience against future recurrences of unhelpful mood fluctuations.

Depression can make everything feel heavier; maybe motivation fades, joy feels impossible, and even small tasks can seem overwhelming.

Depression
Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals experiencing depression in its many forms, from persistent low mood and loss of motivation to more complex, longstanding patterns of disconnection and hopelessness. Depression often impacts not just how someone feels, but how they see themselves, their relationships, and their future.
My approach is both compassionate and active. I focus on understanding the underlying emotional and relational patterns that contribute to depression, while also helping clients re-engage with their lives in meaningful, manageable ways. Together, we work to identify what may be keeping them stuck, build greater emotional awareness, and gradually restore a sense of agency, connection, and vitality.
I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without being overwhelmed, and supported without being pushed too quickly—allowing change to unfold in a way that is both sustainable and deeply felt.
