Depression is different than sadness. A degree of sadness is healthy and keeps frame on the other aspects of life that provide joy and connection. Depression is a clinical term for overwhelm that affects your relationships and interaction with the world. If you're identifying with Depression it's imperative that we get you help immediately, get you some support and turn things around.

Depression literally means "De-Pressed" like something external is pressing on you and leaving you unable to function the way you want. Understanding the nuances of what may be de-pressing you brings light to how it may be able to shift. There is hope.

Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Depression feels overwhelming and affects how someone thinks about everything, often causing a since of hopelessness and helplessness. It can impact an individuals ability to work and interpersonal relationships. Usually there is no clear source of the mood shift which adds to the difficulty coming out of it. Although it is sometimes hard to imagine feeling better, treatment can be very helpful.

Depression loves to partner with low motivation and inaction. Just reading this blurb is taking action towards changing how you feel and view your life. Adding little steps each day can move you past the depression and into a world or promise. Together we can find these things that can alter your viewpoint.

Often when painful feelings have become too overwhelming to process and we're having recurring negative thoughts about ourselves or the world, we become depressed. Sometimes it takes the hope and guidance of another to navigate the way through.

Shelley M. Samuels
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor #6947 (CA), TLHT #494 (FL)
I work with people to support them in dealing with their depression by assisting them to discover underlying causes, but also to simply help them become more functional; better able to face their daily tasks. I often use creative interventions like mindfulness (I am MSBR-certified), expressive art, journaling eco-art therapy and meditation; to encourage my clients to find more meaning and joy in life. I also use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy, which I am trained in) to help clients identify negative thoughts, using exercises or homework to examine unhealthy behaviors. Finally, I may also work with people employing EMDR, a technique for working through trauma. In addition, I work with clients with depression that might result in chronic physical pain.
