Depression
Matthew Bishop
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
Depression isn’t just sadness; it’s the heavy fog that makes even small tasks feel impossible. I work with clients to untangle that heaviness, to find language for what they’ve been carrying, and to take small steps that can bring momentum and relief.

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.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I work with clients experiencing depression through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens that explores the emotional, somatic, and relational roots of low mood. Using Compassionate Inquiry®, we gently uncover patterns shaped by early experiences and life stress, while building self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful coping strategies. For some clients, we also explore the supportive use of microdosing as an adjunct to therapy, helping enhance self-reflection and emotional regulation. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to reconnect with your inner wisdom and reclaim a sense of hope and purpose.

I specialize in the treatment of depression.

We also explore childhood experiences and relationship events that may contribute to these challenges. My primary goal is to help alleviate symptoms and provide clients with the appropriate tools to manage them effectively.

Nikki Adhami
Pre-Licensed Professional, ACSW, ASW 123351, supervised by Nora Katz, LCSW 112300
When depression settles in, everything takes more effort than it should. I start with what feels manageable, then we look gently at what is underneath, so days start to feel a little lighter and more like your own.

Mood disorders, including major depressive disorder, impact a significant portion of the adult population. Sometimes stressful life events contribute to depression and other times it's a longstanding illness without a clear direct cause. We will create a plan for managing the thoughts and behaviors mitigating your symptoms.

Alyssa Zarske
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT 158291, supervised by Nora Katz, LCSW 112300
