Depression
Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Major life stressors often trigger flare-ups of mental health challenges.
Are you surrounded by fears of catching COVID-19, disconnected from friends, or working a remote job you don't love?
Have you felt unlike yourself lately? Irritable, unmotivated, and detached? Worried about letting others down? Not looking forward to anything?
Maybe you're feeling guilty for procrastinating? Finding it tough to relax or sleep restfully?
Is your inner critic getting louder? Do you keep wondering if you're doing enough, are loved enough, or will ever be good enough?
What if the links between trauma and achievement are playing out for you?
Life is tough, and so are you.

Depression
Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Depression can feel heavy and draining, making it hard to find motivation, joy, or a sense of meaning. You may feel disconnected from yourself or others, stuck in cycles of self-criticism or guilt, or exhausted no matter how much you rest. Over time, depression can shrink your world and make it difficult to believe that things can truly change.
In therapy with me, we’ll work to understand what’s contributing to your depression and gently reconnect you with yourself and your life. You’ll gain practical tools to help lift the weight day to day, while also working through the patterns, beliefs, and emotional pain beneath the surface. Together, we’ll move toward greater stability, self-compassion, and a life that feels more alive and aligned.

Matthew Weisskopf
Psychologist, PhD
I can assist clients with addressing depression with cognitive behavioral therapy. This includes assisting a client with shifting negative thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors in a more positive direction. When this positive shift occurs, this can have significant benefits for depression.
