Depression
Joy Rabon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CCTP, CIMHP
We all feel down sometimes. We might be grieving a loss of some kind, experiencing a difficult and upsetting change in our life or relationship, or feeling discouraged, disappointed, or confused. These feelings are normal human emotions we experience as we are on this bumpy journey called life. Some days we feel down and we don't know why. And then sometimes those days turn into weeks, and months or years and we find that we have lost motivation to even get out of bed and complete daily tasks, let alone tackle the additional and sometimes unpredictable obligations that life presents us. This becomes a downward spiral into the depths of despair that we can no longer name. We've lost ourselves, who we once were, and have no clear vision for the future. We begin to experience a sense of hopelessness and helplessness and a belief that we will never feel whole again. We feel like our brain is in a perpetual fog with no energy to cut through it. Depression can be so all-consuming that we begin to have thoughts of harming ourselves, whether to end our life or simply to bring about physical pain to ease the emotional pain. Sometimes, in those dark moments, our brain tries to convince us that it is the only rational option--or the only way out of a dismal situation. Sometimes it takes the observation of another family member or friend to challenge us to get help. Sometimes there is that small voice within us that urges us that it is time to seek out help from an unbiased and objective professional. As your therapist, I am compassionate, empathetic, and sensitive in my integrative approach to depression. I believe that cutting through such a fog will require very slow, deliberate steps so as to not become overwhelming and discouraging for you. Your therapy will be designed to empower and equip you to put you back in control over your own life.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you aren't reaching your goals, feel unfulfilled, aren't enjoying life, or feel down, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats mood and related issues typically using Behavioral Activation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I view depression from a systemic perspective, looking at the client's entire life to establish what may be causing or exacerbating the client's depression symptoms. Then the client and I collaborate on goals to improve the client's mood and overall wellness. Treating depression I will always be using integrative therapy techniques because no one therapy is right for every aspect of a person's depression.

It requires patience, compassion and skill to successfully treat. In a session with Dr Roberts you will often find yourself laughing and regaining your perspective and hope.
