Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, HE, LMT
Depression is not a personal failure but rather a result from uncontrollable events and circumstances over time. We explore together slowly and gently so that nervous system regulation and safety can be strengthened. The body digests emotional overwhelm and burnout - two causes of depression - in small steps. Rest is a sacred act, and we explore ways to honor your need for rest and self-care.
Sessions explore the circumstances that may be influencing depression such as nutrition, microbiome, sleep, viral, mold, and environmental influences, so changes can be addressed to help improve your quality of life.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
I help clients get to the root of their depressive symptoms. Depression is not forever. I also specialize in depression that emerges during pregnancy and postpartum, or in the aftermath of a traumatic birth experience.

Dr. Connie Stomper
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, EdD, DSS
I have approached depression in a multi-dimensional way, and am aware of different types of depression and different ways of working with those. Often it is what is beneath the depression that needs too be addressed as well as living through depression in self nurturing and caring ways.

Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Depression is often a symptom of unresolved feelings. It can be a reaction to anxiety that has exhausted itself, or anger turned inward. Some people are perfectionistic to a fault and constantly beat up on themselves for failing to attain an impossible standard of living. As a psychodynamic clinician, I help depressed people find the roots of their depression, rather than just addressing the symptoms.

Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Depression rarely shows up alone. For many of my clients, it's tangled up with grief, a relationship that's shifted, or a version of themselves they've lost along the way. I work to understand what's underneath, not just the symptoms, so we can find a way back to connection, with yourself and with others.
