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
Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression can feel like a loss of energy, motivation, and connection to yourself and others. Rather than only addressing symptoms, I work with individuals to understand the underlying emotional and relational factors contributing to these experiences. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness, processing difficult feelings, and gradually rebuilding a sense of meaning, connection, and engagement in life.

Depression
Judith Nitchie
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT36770
Gloom, hopelessness, unrelenting sadness can lead to feelings of inadequacy and thoughts of 'what's the point?' Depression can interfere with work performance, making it difficult to concentrate or complete tasks; the quality of our relationships and feelings of connection can also suffer. When we have a place to process and to learn new skills we can learn to manage, and even reverse, these feelings and thoughts that keep us from living life to its fullest.
