Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
A lot of depression can come from feeling stuck. Maybe we feel stuck in life, or physically we are exhausted or have a difficult time finding a path forward. I have experience working with individuals who experience symptoms of depression and have training in helping people overcome their symptoms and find a way to thrive.

My approach to therapy as a Jungian analyst is to listen deeply to discover the unique person that you are and the problems you are facing. In a safe, caring, and supportive setting we will utilize dream analysis, journaling, and other creative work to help guide you back to the wisdom within.

Depression
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.

Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Depression has many root causes, but is highly responsive to treatment. I work with people to identify what is at the root of their depressive symptoms and utilize Somatic, Ego-state and EMDR-related practices to address these root causes.

Depression can seem impossible to overcome, due to its dark and enveloping nature. However, turning within and healing the wounds that cause depression is an immensely liberating component of psycho-therapy.

Claudia Owens Shields
Psychologist, M.A., Ph.D.
If you are experiencing deep sadness that won't go away or you have lost the ability to feel pleasure or interest in life's activities, you may be suffering from depression. Depression is not the same as normal sadness, it can also impact your concentration, sleep, appetite, feelings of self-worth, energy level, and you may even feel like you don't want to go on living. If you think you might be experiencing this, I can help. I will first work with you (and your physician as appropriate) to determine the basis of your depression. Depression can be caused by mental habits and behaviors you may not even know you have. Over time these invisible habits can lead to depression that may seem to either "come out of the blue" or in response to stressful situations. I will help you identify these ways of thinking, and help you develop new thought habits and behaviors that, with practice, can help you overcome your depression.

Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Depression is normal. We all get depressed. It's our body's way of saying something is wrong. We're either living with something that no longer serves us, or we're yearning for something that has been missing. For a long time now, the psychology and psychiatric communities have treated depression as something to get rid of, something to treat. And while nobody wants to be depressed, efforts to get rid of it, or diminish its symptoms, tend to make things worse. Luckily, there are new and much more effective ways to work with depression. Therapies that include the body (somatic psychology), mindfulness (MBSR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and neuro-science have a much better success rate in treating depression. When we approach depression as a messenger and listen to what it is telling us, it tends to go away! So, what is your depression telling you? What is in your life that shouldn't be? What is missing? For over 25 years I have been helping my clients overcome depression blending the best from the worlds of somatic psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience.
