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.

Dana Fogel-Stark
Therapist, M.S., LMFT
Depression is a very common struggle for many. It is my belief that Depression is best treated using both psychodynamic as well as cognitive Behavioral therapy. CBT is effective in helping clients identify the relationship between their thoughts and negative mood therefore learning to modify their thought process in order to improve feel better and improve their mood. Psychodynamic therapy helps clients explore their emotions and identify feelings that they may not be aware of. The combination of both orientations tends to be very effective in treating Depression.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression is more than simply feeling sad. It can affect every part of your life, making it difficult to find motivation, experience joy, maintain relationships, or complete everyday tasks. You may feel emotionally numb, hopeless, exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself and the people around you. Even activities that once brought meaning or happiness can begin to feel like a struggle.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment for depression in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. Together, we'll explore the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms, including life stress, unresolved trauma, grief, relationship challenges, burnout, or negative patterns of thinking. Our goal is not only to reduce symptoms but also to help you reconnect with your strengths, values, and sense of purpose. Treatment is personalized to your unique needs and may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, behavioral activation, and other trauma-informed interventions. You'll learn practical strategies to challenge self-critical thoughts, improve emotional regulation, rebuild motivation, strengthen healthy routines, and develop effective coping skills that support lasting emotional wellness.
We understand that depression often affects more than your mood—it can impact your physical health, sleep, concentration, confidence, work, and relationships. Therapy provides a safe space to process difficult emotions, develop self-compassion, and gradually take meaningful steps toward healing at a pace that feels manageable and sustainable. You don't have to face depression alone. With the right support and evidence-based treatment, healing is possible. Together, we'll work toward helping you feel more connected, hopeful, resilient, and empowered to create a life that feels fulfilling and meaningful.

Depression is treatable. With Hailey, you will learn strategies for managing mood, motivation, self-worth and working towards finding your sense of joy again.
