Dr. Connie Stomper
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, EdD, DSS
I have approached depression in a multi-dimensional way, and am aware of different types of depression and different ways of working with those. Often it is what is beneath the depression that needs too be addressed as well as living through depression in self nurturing and caring ways.

Anat Sideman
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT
Symptoms of depression are the smoke that alerts us to an underlying fire. You may have experienced a tragedy, or a traumatic event. Perhaps your relationship is triggering pain, your marriage is in trouble, or your child is suffering. You may notice a gradual decline in your sense of wellbeing, problems sleeping, changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, body aches, a growing sense of hopelessness or feeling that things are out of control. Whatever is causing your distress, you don’t have to manage it alone. Together, we can find kindness and compassion, create a safe space for your feelings, better understand your needs, prioritize your self-care, and identify tools that will help you feel more empowered and hopeful again.

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.
