Depression
Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
Depression in children, teens, and young adults can manifest itself in mood swings, anxiety, guilt, lack of energy, hopelessness, and general aches and pains. Despite the severe effects of depressive disorders or similar mood disorders on children and teens, 70% do not receive appropriate treatment. Early intervention provided by mental health professionals such as Monica is crucial as it gives individuals suffering from depression a voice to communicate negative emotions, learn how to regulate mood swings, and lessen depressive symptoms.

Mayra Bagnoli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression makes a person see things only as a shade of grey, a flat line, routine, boredom, sadness. Through our work together we will explore triggers for depression, identify if the depression is organic in nature (and therefore requires medication) or situational. We will develop individually tailored strategies to be able to fight the shadows of depression and progressive and consistently move the client in the direction of a lighter, happier, pleasant existence.

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.

The cycle of depression ebbs and flows and can feel overwhelming at times. It is completely natural to seek the help and support of a professional to develop skills that can aid in managing such in healthy ways. I also offer support to family members of loved ones experiencing depression.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
There are several approaches that can work well, and I use them in combinations depending on the wishes of the client. I often use psychological testing to help clarify the underling issues and better target interventions, including recommending medications most likely to be effective, based on psychological testing results.
