Depression therapists in Austin, Texas TX
Jane Green MA LPA-IP
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Psychological Associate in Independent Practice
Depression affects many people at some time in their lives. We tend to believe we should be able to snap out of it and move on, it is not that simple. Identifying and examining the issues, making changes and learning ways to dispel feelings of helplessness and hopelessness are the focus of successful treatment. Sometimes it involves distraction. Sometimes facing it head on. Almost always it involves changing our thoughts.

Shaneil Gayle
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Depression has a dangerous tendency to build upon itself. As a result, normal life tasks such as work and relationships start to fall by the wayside. Eventually, doing the bare minimum creates new problems, which cause stress and worsening depression. We will work together to explore the underlying causes of your depression and develop coping mechanisms, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope.

Jennifer Quinn Fuller
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Depression can be situational or clinical. Broadly speaking, situational depression is caused by unmet needs (sometimes controllable, sometimes not), while clinical depression can be caused by a chemical imbalance. Both can be helped in therapy by regaining control of our decisions, reframing perspectives, and improving our ability for self-care.

Christina Jack
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
For many depression can be well managed and quality of life improved with a therapy, medication or a combination of both. We also know that long standing major depression is something that can be debilitating and life threatening. At Heading we offer a combination of care. And for those who are not finding relief traditionally prescribed SSRIs, they may wish to visit our Austin or Dallas locations for in-person Ketamine or Spravato® treatments.
