Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Depression often feels like being weighed down by hopelessness or self-criticism. My work integrates IFS to uncover the shame and pain beneath these feelings, combined with approaches like meditation/mindfulness, somatic sensing, and interpersonal neurobiology, and existential therapies to support healing and re-engagement with life. I frequently work alongside prescribers for medication support and use thorough differential diagnosis to distinguish depression from trauma responses, bipolar disorder, or grief.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Depression can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. You may feel emotionally numb, disconnected from others, exhausted, hopeless, or like you're simply going through the motions of life.
Many people also find themselves withdrawing from relationships, losing confidence in themselves, or feeling stuck in patterns they can't seem to change.
I help you understand what may be contributing to these feelings, reconnect with yourself, strengthen coping skills, and begin moving toward greater hope, energy, and emotional well-being.

Julia Poole
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C, ADHD-CCSP,
Depression doesn’t always look like staying in bed. Sometimes you’re still doing everything expected of you, but you feel disconnected, worn down, or unable to enjoy much of it. We’ll look at what’s contributing to how you feel and work on steps that are realistic for where you are right now.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with depression by helping them understand and manage their symptoms. Through evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and behavioral activation, I help people challenge negative thought patterns, improve their mood, and develop healthy coping strategies. My goal is to support individuals in finding ways to increase their motivation, reconnect with activities they enjoy, and build a stronger sense of well-being. Referrals for medication management, if desired, are made to local prescribing providers. Treatment resistant depression, although rare, is referred to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), ketamine therapy, and/or other psychedelic psychotherapy options if locally available.

I help you look at these experiences with compassion, exploring the parts of you that feel weighed down or unheard while also offering practical, evidence-based support to rebalance your mood and daily rhythms. Together, we work toward restoring connection, purpose, and a steadier sense of yourself.

Lynda Griffin Bull
Counselor/Therapist, MC, LPC
Depression can make life feel heavy, isolating, and difficult to navigate. You may feel stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected from the people and activities that once mattered to you. In therapy, I provide a safe, compassionate space where we can explore the experiences and patterns contributing to these feelings. Many people discover that unresolved stress, loss, or trauma can play a role in depression. Together we will work toward greater understanding, emotional balance, and renewed hope so that life can begin to feel more manageable and meaningful again.

Cynthia A. Criss
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LPCC, CSAT
Depression and addiction often go hand in hand, creating a complex cycle that's challenging to break. Here are some key points to consider if you're addressing this topic for your website or audience:
The Connection Between Depression and Addiction:
Self-Medication: People with depression may turn to substances (alcohol, drugs, etc.) to cope with feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiety. Biological and Environmental Factors: Both conditions can stem from genetic predispositions, traumatic experiences, or chronic stress. Cycle of Worsening Symptoms: Addiction can intensify depressive symptoms, creating a vicious cycle that makes recovery more challenging.
How My Counseling Service Can Help:
Offer compassionate, tailored approaches to treat co-occurring disorders.
Provide a safe space for clients to explore their emotions and challenges.
Collaborate with other professionals, such as psychiatrists, to ensure holistic care.

Dr. Florence Rosiello
Therapist, Ph.D.
Most of my work is with people who have difficulty in relationships, either feeling too emotionally isolated or too merged. My strength lies in helping people find a place where they can be in intimate relationships and not lose themselves. Loving is difficult - and feeling loved, is even harder.
