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. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re struggling with depression, you may feel weighed down by a constant sense of heaviness, low motivation, or a loss of interest in things you used to enjoy. Even simple tasks can feel overwhelming, and you may find yourself stuck in patterns of negative thinking, self-doubt, or emotional numbness. From the outside, it might look like you’re functioning—but inside, it can feel like you’re just getting through the day.
I help clients understand and change the patterns that keep depression in place—both mentally and emotionally. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work to identify and shift the negative thought cycles that reinforce feelings of hopelessness or discouragement. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we address the deeper emotional patterns and help re-engage your mind and body in a more responsive, energized way. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you take meaningful action, reconnect with what matters to you, and begin moving forward—even when motivation is low.
What’s often missing isn’t effort—you may already be trying to “push through” or think more positively. What’s missing is a structured way to shift the underlying patterns that keep pulling you back into the same emotional state. Without that, depression can continue to feel stuck, regardless of how much you try to change it on your own.
The fact that you’re reading this suggests a part of you is still looking for something different. If you’re willing to take that next step, I can help you begin to feel more like yourself again—more engaged, more hopeful, and more in control of your direction.

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
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.

Depression
Chris Karcher
Psychologist, PsyD
Some research suggests that one in ten people currently have clinical depression and in a lifetime one out of five people will have depression. Although this is referred to as the 'common cold' of mental health issues, it can involve immense suffering. I draw from ACT, CBT and other modalities to help. For some people being listened to and understood by another person helps recovery from depression.

Depression
Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Depression is not a personal failure but rather a result from uncontrollable events and circumstances over time. We explore together slowly and gently so that nervous system regulation and safety can be strengthened. The body digests emotional overwhelm and burnout - two causes of depression - in small steps. Rest is a sacred act, and we explore ways to honor your need for rest and self-care.
Sessions explore the circumstances that may be influencing depression such as nutrition, microbiome, sleep, viral, mold, and environmental influences, so changes can be addressed to help improve your quality of life.
