Depression
Inspirational couples & relationship counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I chose to treat depression because within the scope of dysfunctional relationship depression is one of the symptoms that immensely affect the relationship. Often depression tends to make people feel hopeless and helpless and it impacts our mind in a severe negative way. Together we will try and remove these barriers.

Depression
Cassandre Charnel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Experiencing depression can feel lonely, scary, and overwhelming. Many people often hide their depression from friends, family and peers. In addition to sad mood, crying spells, periodic feelings of hopelessness, and numbness, people often notice a loss of interest in things they once enjoyed. This can lead those struggling with depression, to withdraw and isolate from others: even from those they love the most. Since everyone deals with depression differently, I provide tailored treatment modalities to address the root causes and underlying thought patterns surrounding depression based on individual need, experiences and severity. If you are reading this blurb, it means you have not given up on yourself. I am here to assist you in finding the person within worth fighting for.

Depression
Maureen Karol, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Similar to how I approach working with those with anxiety, I approach depression by first looking at the inner dialogue we are telling ourselves that perpetuates negative thoughts and emotions. This is the first step which leads to then recreating new thoughts that will start to change our current belief system (the maladaptive one) into a new belief system that is a better match for who we are today. It's all about empowering ourselves and that begins with how we talk to ourselves.

Depression
Center for Specialized Psychology
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCSW, LPC,
Depression is a common struggle among children, adolescents and adults. At CSP we believe that one condition, such as depression, will never look the exact same on two or more people. Therefore, we don't treat it the same. We take an integrative and personalized approach for every patient to ensure that the treatment they receive will work best for them. Treating depression includes understanding what the depressive symptoms are, where they come from, how to notice triggers, how to manage symptoms, and how to overcome mood shifts, through both cognitive and behavioral strategies. In addition, a psychodynamic approach is often used to explore the origin of the depression and process / heal from the underlying cause(s).

Depression
Susanne R Mealer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression can have many levels/degrees and some people actually don't even realize that they are suffering from depressive symptoms, especially if they have been going on for a while. Depression can be very serious and should not be brushed off. Medication alone is not the answer.

Fort Lauderdale has one of the largest LGBTQ+ communities and most established affirming therapy ecosystems in the southeastern United States, with LGBTQ+-focused practices and therapists well represented across the city and Broward County. The city's affluent waterfront and yachting culture — and its reputation as a destination for wealthy retirees and seasonal residents — create a distinctive therapy clientele that includes high-net-worth individuals navigating relationship complexity, addiction, and the existential weight of leisure-focused affluence. Broward Health and Memorial Healthcare System provide institutional mental health resources for a county of nearly two million people. Fort Lauderdale's large Brazilian and Haitian communities generate demand for Portuguese- and Haitian Creole-speaking therapists, and the broader South Florida recovery community makes addiction treatment and aftercare among the most active practice areas in the region.
