Depression
Mary Karlan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Work
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is manifested by a combination of symptoms that interfere with the ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Such a disabling episode of depression (lasting two weeks or more) may occur once or several times in one’s lifetime. Dysthymic Disorder is a less severe type of depression, but is long-term and chronic. This type of depression is not disabling, but will keep one from functioning well and feeling good. I will incorporate mindfulness techniques, narrative therapy, and other therapy approaches designed specifically for you.

Depression never occurs on its own, and I work to thoroughly understand the underlying issues, so that you can make the changes you need to make in order to feel better.

Depression
Elaine Quattro
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
It’s just as surprising for some people to discover that no one or thing is causing them to feel what they are feeling. It seems natural to assume that I feel bad because of what has happened to me or because of the situation that I am in, but this is just not so. You feel what you believe! Our beliefs determine how we view and interpret life as it happens. And this interpretation of our situation determines what we feel in the midst of it. The good news is, if our belief changes, then our emotion will naturally change as well; even if our situation remains the same.
