Depression
Frankie Santiago
Life Coach, Professional Life Coach
I support men and women experiencing depression through practical life coaching that helps you regain motivation, rebuild daily structure, and rediscover hope and purpose. Together we focus on small, actionable steps to shift negative patterns, improve energy and routines, strengthen self-worth, and create forward momentum even when things feel heavy. My supportive, no-judgment approach combines real-world strategies with compassionate guidance so you can start feeling more like yourself again. If you’re ready to take that first step, I offer a free 15 minute initial consultation to explore how we can work together.

Depression
Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I work with mood disorders of all types to help folks tease out what is symptom, what is sign of overwhelm and what is external to them. Interventions might include working on activation, healthy and adaptive self-care, relational issues such as limit setting and boundaries and work-life balance as well as parts that might be informed by past trauma. Liaising and coordinating with medical and other professionals that are involved in treatment is considered important here as well.

Depression
Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Depression in teens often doesn't look like sadness. It looks like irritability, a kid who sleeps constantly or not at all, grades slipping, headphones on and door closed, dropping the sport or the friend group or the thing they used to love. From the outside it can read as attitude or laziness. From the inside it usually feels like nothing is worth the effort.
I work with teens to understand what's underneath it, what's happened, what they're carrying, what they believe about themselves that isn't true. We look at the thought patterns that keep the weight in place, and build practical ways to move through a hard day rather than just wait it out.
My approach is warm and unhurried. Depression tends to convince a teen that no one really wants to hear it, so a lot of the early work is simply being someone who does. Over time, the aim is that your teen reconnects with themselves — with energy, with the things they used to enjoy, with some sense that the future is theirs.
If you're worried about your teen, that instinct is worth acting on. Reaching out doesn't mean things have gotten bad enough. It means you noticed.

Depression
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Depression is often less about brain chemistry and more about a nervous system that has been through too much and learned to shut down. The flatness, the fog, the inability to feel much of anything — these are not character flaws or permanent states. They are often the body's last-resort response to pain that hasn't had a place to go.
I work with depression from a trauma-informed lens, treating the root rather than just the symptoms — using EMDR, Flash Technique, and when appropriate ketamine-assisted EMDR to help a system that has gone quiet begin to come back online. Skills and support along the way, and intensives available for those ready to move through it more deeply.
You may have been living like this for so long it feels like just who you are. Let's find out who you are when you're not carrying all of this.

Depression
Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Depression is a devastating thinking trap that is hard to see your way out of. It steals your energy, motivation, enjoyment and isolates you from the people and activities you love. And you can lose sight of your preciousness and the unique irreplaceable value you add to the lives of others. Working with a skilled, experienced therapist can be a game changer in finding your way out of depressive thinking spirals and finally reconnecting with meaning, purpose and enjoyment. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from sabotaging thinking patterns and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.
