Depression
Allison Cordts - Sunrise Therapy for Mental Health
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC
Depression can be very debilitating, however, there are ways to pull yourself out of the darkness and they don't necessarily need to be medications. I work to help clients learn coping and how to get out of the darkness without relying on meds beyond stabilization.

Depression
Danny Boylan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Depression can feel heavy, isolating, and exhausting, and for many people it begins to color how they see themselves, their relationships, and their future. While diagnostic labels can sometimes be useful for describing symptoms, I believe they are only a starting point. What often matters more is understanding why the depression is present and what emotional, psychological, or relational factors may be contributing to it.
In my work with depression, I focus on helping clients explore the underlying drivers rather than treating depression as a fixed condition that simply needs to be managed. Depression often develops in response to loss, unmet needs, long-standing patterns of self-criticism, emotional suppression, trauma, or a sense of disconnection from meaning or purpose. Gaining insight into these factors can open space for compassion, understanding, and change.
I see my role as a collaborative partner — a kind of copilot — as clients begin to make sense of their experience and identify paths toward feeling better. When the roots of depression become clearer, hope often follows, along with a growing sense that there are steps that can be taken to improve how life feels. The goal is not just relief from symptoms, but a deeper understanding that supports lasting emotional well-being.

Depression
Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Depression doesn’t always look like staying in bed. Sometimes it shows up as exhaustion, irritability, loss of motivation, or feeling disconnected from work, relationships, or even yourself. High-performing individuals often continue functioning on the outside while feeling flat or overwhelmed internally. In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you identify unhelpful thought patterns, re-engage with meaningful activities, and reconnect with your values. Together, we’ll work to reduce self-criticism, build sustainable energy, and help you move from simply getting through the day to feeling more present and engaged in your life.

Depression
Christopher McClendon
Counselor/Therapist, APC, NCC
Depression can result from unfinished business in the past, which seems to threaten current and future success. Sometimes we need someone to just listen to our experiences from our vantage point, without being too eager to fix the issue without first listening to the experience. Catharsis is a powerful tool when employed correctly.
