Depression
Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Depression can feel heavy and draining, making it hard to find motivation, joy, or a sense of meaning. You may feel disconnected from yourself or others, stuck in cycles of self-criticism or guilt, or exhausted no matter how much you rest. Over time, depression can shrink your world and make it difficult to believe that things can truly change.
In therapy with me, we’ll work to understand what’s contributing to your depression and gently reconnect you with yourself and your life. You’ll gain practical tools to help lift the weight day to day, while also working through the patterns, beliefs, and emotional pain beneath the surface. Together, we’ll move toward greater stability, self-compassion, and a life that feels more alive and aligned.

Depression
Matthew Bishop
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
Depression isn’t just sadness; it’s the heavy fog that makes even small tasks feel impossible. I work with clients to untangle that heaviness, to find language for what they’ve been carrying, and to take small steps that can bring momentum and relief.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I work with clients experiencing depression through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens that explores the emotional, somatic, and relational roots of low mood. Using Compassionate Inquiry®, we gently uncover patterns shaped by early experiences and life stress, while building self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful coping strategies. For some clients, we also explore the supportive use of microdosing as an adjunct to therapy, helping enhance self-reflection and emotional regulation. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to reconnect with your inner wisdom and reclaim a sense of hope and purpose.

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.

Depression
Melissa Quinn Pollock
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Chronic low mood is not uncommon in our society. I help clients from a standpoint of radical authenticity and an understanding that those typically afflicted by depression have higher emotional and intelligence quotients. Given this, clients are often are able to do meaningful work in remitting and maintaining depressive symptoms and moving toward purpose and fulfillment.

Depression
Yukiko K Hartman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LPCC, LMHC
We all get depressed sometime in our lives, which is normal, but if you are depressed for more than two weeks, then you might want to pay closer attention to it. It's because your depressed mood starts to interfere with your daily-life; often people experience a change of appetite or sleep, difficulty making decisions or concentrating. Are you experiencing any of these signs? When you are deeply depressed, you almost feel as if there was no way out and that you were stuck there forever... I know depression is powerful, but it is not true; there Are ways that help you get out of there! I have worked with many clients with depression and helped them out of the darkness to find a new pathway to live fully again. You don't need to be alone. Let's work together.
