Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I also have a lot of experience working with depression. I look at depression as not just a symptom but as a functional mechanism of the nervous system. I help clients follow their depression story to it’s roots to understand why depression became necessary to manage their experience. Depression can often be a way humans numb out because of loss, pain, or hyperarousal. If we can understand the underlying cause we can then focus on how to support those needs and sensitivities so that depression’s job becomes obsolete.

Depression is often a symptom of other, underlying issues. Hypnosis can not only help to discover any underlying causes by accessing subconscious beliefs, but can be used to help resolve them and feel better.

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.

Often when painful feelings have become too overwhelming to process and we're having recurring negative thoughts about ourselves or the world, we become depressed. Sometimes it takes the hope and guidance of another to navigate the way through.

Depression is more than just feeling sad; it's a complex mental health condition that affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

In our work together, we will focus on learning coping skills, gaining emotional insight, and developing strategies to manage symptoms and work towards reclaiming a sense of fulfillment and purpose in your life.

Christina Shonkwiler
Hypnotherapist, MA, CHT
The pain you are experiencing is not who you are, it is a message that shows what's out of balance. So much suffering is due to stress, anxiety, depression, and emotions that feel out of control. When they show up in the body &/or mind as symptoms, we are being called to change, to create a life of ease and relief from our critical inner voices and demands. I believe that we all have a natural capacity to heal, given the right conditions to safely and gently come to know our true selves. I hold a supportive container with compassion and experience to allow your highest aspects to come forward and shine.
