I approach depression with compassion and understanding, recognizing that it can affect energy, motivation, relationships, and the way people experience themselves and the world around them. Together, we explore underlying patterns, process difficult emotions and experiences, and develop tools that support emotional well-being. My goal is to help clients reconnect with their strengths, regain a sense of hope, and move toward greater balance and fulfillment.

Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
Depression can make life feel heavy—like you’re moving through the day with less energy, less hope, and less connection to yourself or others. It isn’t just sadness; depression can also involve numbness, shame, self-criticism, disconnection, and feeling stuck. Therapy can help you feel less alone, understand what you’re carrying, and begin to reconnect with motivation and meaning. Together, we work to understand the deeper emotional roots of depression and the patterns that keep it going, so you can build a more compassionate relationship with yourself and create lasting change.

Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I specialize in working with adults experiencing depression, low mood, lack of motivation, and emotional numbness. Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. It can show up as feeling disconnected, exhausted, unmotivated, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift, even when you understand them intellectually.
My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to address the underlying causes of depression, including unresolved trauma, loss, and long-standing relational patterns. These therapies work at the level of the brain and nervous system to help create meaningful, lasting change rather than short-term relief.
I also integrate nervous system regulation and attachment-focused work, which can be especially helpful if you tend to withdraw, shut down emotionally, or feel disconnected from yourself or others. Therapy is paced carefully to support engagement without overwhelm, particularly when motivation and energy are low.
Many clients come in feeling stuck or discouraged after trying to “push through” depression on their own. Through this work, clients often experience increased energy, improved mood, and a stronger sense of connection to themselves and their lives.

Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
Overcoming depression in my experience requires dealing with underlying patterns and trauma. I have found a mind body approach using EMDR, brainspotting and somatic therapy to be a powerful in breaking through depression.
