Depression
Meliora Counseling & Wellness
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS LPC
Depression and sadness are two different things. Depression is hopelessness. Without hope, we have nothing. I can help you find that hope.

Depression
Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Depression can feel like you’re carrying a weight that never lifts—no matter how much you push through, you still feel exhausted, disconnected, and empty. You might find yourself withdrawing from loved ones, feeling numb, or struggling to find motivation for even the simplest tasks. Maybe you tell yourself you “should” be fine, that other people have it worse, but deep down, you feel stuck in a cycle you can’t break. Even when things in your life seem objectively “okay,” you might still battle feelings of unworthiness, guilt, or hopelessness. This isn’t just sadness—it’s the result of unresolved pain, self-doubt, and a nervous system that has learned to shut down instead of feeling safe and engaged. If you grew up in an environment where your emotions weren’t validated, where you had to suppress your needs to avoid conflict or rejection, it makes sense that your mind and body adapted by numbing out and disconnecting.
But depression doesn’t have to define you. Healing isn’t about forcing yourself to “think positive” or just “try harder”—it’s about getting to the root of what’s keeping you stuck. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Post-Induction Therapy (PIT), I help clients release stored trauma, reprocess painful memories, and rebuild self-worth. Instead of just managing symptoms, therapy helps you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels authentic, hopeful, and sustainable. You deserve to feel alive, engaged, and at peace in your own life—and you don’t have to get there alone.

Depression
Ed White - Logos Addiction Counseling, LLC
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, MS, LIAC
Depression and addiction often walk hand in hand! The question is often whether one is feeding the other. My approach is to work on treating each one simultaneously rather than addressing each individually which may leave room for the other to take over. Whereas some depression may be the result of chemical imbalances in the brain, many times depression comes from incorrect and distressing thinking about self and situations that can be relieved through talking things out and processing challenges.
