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.

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 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.

Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is often less about feeling sad and more about feeling numb or "blah." I've worked with folks with varying degrees of depression for as long as I have been a therapist. The way out is often a mixture of self-compassion, tiny action steps to build momentum, and getting distance from negative thinking and reducing its power.

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.

Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am well-versed in evidence-based treatment modalities that have been shown to be effective in managing depression. These may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop coping strategies; interpersonal therapy (IPT), which focuses on improving relationships and communication skills; and behavioral activation, which involves increasing engagement in positive, rewarding activities.
