Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
Depression can make life feel heavy—like you’re moving through the day with less energy, less hope, and less connection to yourself or others. It isn’t just sadness; depression can also involve numbness, shame, self-criticism, disconnection, and feeling stuck. Therapy can help you feel less alone, understand what you’re carrying, and begin to reconnect with motivation and meaning. Together, we work to understand the deeper emotional roots of depression and the patterns that keep it going, so you can build a more compassionate relationship with yourself and create lasting change.

Dr. Aleksandra Drecun
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Depression may be described as feeling sad, melancholy, dismal, unhappy, miserable, or down. Many individuals may feel periodic sadness during a distressing situation or transition. Clinical depression is a mood disorder in which feelings of sadness, loss, anger, or frustration affect one’s life for a couple of weeks or longer. Anyone can develop depression, even kids. Clinical depression tends to manifest differently in children and adolescents than in adults.
Depression can appear as anger, irritation and discouragement, rather than feelings of sadness.
If depression is very severe, there may also be psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions.
Treatment for depression may include psychotherapy and/or medication. Either way, seek assistance from a professional psychologist immediately if you or someone you know may be suffering from depression. Hope is available.
