Mishel Cowart
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA
I work with clients who experience depressive symptoms. People experiencing depression can feel a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in daily activities. It affects how you feel, think and behave. It may also lead to emotional and physical problems. Day to day activities may feel difficult to initiate and complete. Exploring your inner life with the help of a skilled clinician like myself, will provide you with a better understanding of your unique qualities, thereby helping to alleviate or diminish your symptoms of depression. My goal is to work with your depression, assess these deep valid feelings and use them as a guide to lead you toward a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
If life has no joy, if life feels lonely, or if life seems meaningless, then we would say you feel depressed. Depression is more than a mindset, but it has the power to grip your mind and body in fear and shame. I take a holistic approach to depression. We will explore the power of the body to help the mind while also helping the mind support the body. It is a ying-yang relationship. I am now offering Virtual Reality therapy to help with depressive symptoms.

Depression often has you feeling stuck, some days it is hard to even achieve the bare minimum. Or you are able to function well enough that people do not notice how broken you feel inside. Don't go through this alone. I can help you find ways to care for yourself that actually help you feel better and identify what might be the underlying cause of your depression symptoms.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Depression is more than sadness; it can be an annoyingly persistent feeling of worthlessness, emptiness, hopelessness, or irritability. It's more than just a bad day or temporary moodiness. It can be persistent and an overwhelming heaviness that affects yours thoughts, energy, daily functioning, and joy, often lasting weeks or months. It causes difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things. Key steps on how to improve depression symptoms include building compassionate accountability - by setting small, realistic goals, exercising regularly, eating healthy, maintaining a sleep routine, and challenging negative thoughts. It's learning how to challenge certain thoughts that keep you stuck and replace them with new thoughts or authentic narrative that bring in motivation to prioritize self- love and self-care.

Depression & Mood Recalibration
Shifting from Past Ruminations to Future Alignment
Depression can quietly sap vitality, blur clarity, and make even the most capable individuals feel stuck in a cycle of emotional exhaustion. Rather than viewing depression solely as a fixed chemical state, I view it as a complex signal that key areas of life—thoughts, habits, physical health, or relationships—have become misaligned or depleted.
My current practice is optimized for adults experiencing moderate depression, persistent low mood, burnout, or mood patterns in partial remission. Because my work emphasizes strategic growth and self-actualization, we focus on helping you regain momentum, rebuild emotional resilience, and move beyond simply "surviving" toward thriving.
A Comprehensive Biopsychosocial Framework
Depression affects the whole person, and lasting relief requires a multi-dimensional approach. We systematically evaluate and optimize five core pillars of your well-being:
Cognitive & Internal Scripts: Identifying and updating negative thought patterns, self-critical narratives, and the persistent "mental noise" that maintains low mood.
Behavioral Activation: Re-engaging in purposeful, energy-generating activities that counteract the withdrawal and lethargy characteristic of depression.
Physiological & Somatic Balance: Addressing baseline lifestyle factors—such as sleep architecture, movement, and nervous system regulation—to restore physical vitality.
Relational Connection: Transforming social isolation into meaningful, supportive connections and setting healthy boundaries where needed.
Contextual & Environmental Alignment: Adjusting external stressors and life circumstances so your environment actively supports your mental health.
Future-Oriented & Collaborative Growth
A guiding premise of my work is that depression tends to lock your focus into the past—on past regrets, lost opportunities, or old hurts.
While we honor your history, our primary work shifts your trajectory forward. We collaborate to clarify what you ideally want your future to look like, breaking that vision down into practical, achievable steps. By replacing self-defeating patterns with strategies that generate real-world results, we help you step out of stagnation and reclaim an active, fulfilling life.

Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression doesn't always look like sadness. Sometimes it's numbness where feelings used to be, a fog that makes small tasks enormous, or going through the motions of a life that no longer feels like yours. And sometimes it has a trigger no one acknowledges like a loss, a birth, infertility, a diagnosis, or a hormonal shift, that can make you feel stuck. You don't have to stay here. Using CBT, ACT, and narrative work, we'll untangle the thoughts that keep you low, reconnect you with what matters, and rebuild your days at a pace that respects where you're starting from. Depression is treatable, including yours.
