James Norwood
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
Depression is endemic to the human experience. We all experience it at some point or another, though some of us to a far greater degree. Working through depression often requires us to confront some of the painful loss, disappointment, heartbreak, and hopelessness that life can occasion. There seems to be no better way to do that than with another person.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Being a human is hard. Who doesn't get depressed now and again? But what if it is more than that? You've been feeling a little down, then the day comes when you just cannot get out of bed, nothing sounds fun (not even the things that usually do), and you just can't quite get yourself to make that call or take that walk, even though you know it might help you to feel better. Then the day stretches to two days, then three, and it starts to feel like you will never feel "normal" again. These feelings are intense, and painful, and you do not have to suffer them alone. Call or email me today.

Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I take a compassionate and comprehensive approach to supporting clients experiencing depression. By weaving together holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness, I create a personalized pathway for each individual. This approach not only addresses the symptoms of depression but also the root causes and overall well-being of my clients. Techniques focusing on lifestyle adjustments, such as improving sleep patterns, nutrition, and physical activity, are integrated with therapeutic sessions to foster a deeper sense of balance and health. Through our collaborative efforts, clients gain the tools and insights needed to navigate their emotions, develop coping strategies, and ultimately, cultivate a more hopeful and positive outlook on life. Whether you're dealing with the challenges of depression for the first time or seeking new methods to manage your well-being, I am here to guide and support you on your journey towards healing and recovery.

Major life stressors often trigger flare-ups of mental health challenges.
Are you surrounded by fears of catching COVID-19, disconnected from friends, or working a remote job you don't love?
Have you felt unlike yourself lately? Irritable, unmotivated, and detached? Worried about letting others down? Not looking forward to anything?
Maybe you're feeling guilty for procrastinating? Finding it tough to relax or sleep restfully?
Is your inner critic getting louder? Do you keep wondering if you're doing enough, are loved enough, or will ever be good enough?
What if the links between trauma and achievement are playing out for you?
Life is tough, and so are you.

Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I also have a lot of experience working with depression. I look at depression as not just a symptom but as a functional mechanism of the nervous system. I help clients follow their depression story to it’s roots to understand why depression became necessary to manage their experience. Depression can often be a way humans numb out because of loss, pain, or hyperarousal. If we can understand the underlying cause we can then focus on how to support those needs and sensitivities so that depression’s job becomes obsolete.

Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Health Coach, MBA
I am one of the few (only?) therapists, who understands the connection between depression and low blood sugar. Low blood sugar is an epidemic due to SAD: Standard American Diet. My protocols for fixing diet are mostly effortless. Once low blood sugar is stablized, THEN you we release and heal the root causes of the depression, most often found in childhood.

Molly Schmidt

Depression is more than just feeling sad; it's a complex mental health condition that affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It can manifest as persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, difficulty concentrating, and even physical aches and pains. In our work together, we will focus on learning coping skills, gaining emotional insight, and developing strategies to manage symptoms and work towards reclaiming a sense of fulfillment and purpose in your life.
