Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression is a dark, crushing weight. When we’re lost in the darkness it’s difficult to find the light or even trust that it’s there. But it is. The darkness is scary for sure, and yet even depression is trying to help us in some way, like for example, trying to keep us safe. It doesn’t realize we don’t need protection in that way or to that degree. We will explore where and why these thoughts and feelings are stuck, and challenge, rework and update them to bring more light into your life.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Everything takes more effort than it should. Getting out of bed. Returning texts. Caring about things you used to care about. From the outside your life might look fine, but inside you're running on empty and wondering when you started feeling so disconnected from yourself. Depression lies to you. It tells you nothing will help, that you've always been this way, that you're a burden for even talking about it. We know how to work with depression, how to help you find your way back to yourself without pretending it's as simple as thinking positive thoughts. This is slow, honest work, and we'll be with you for it. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting patients experiencing depression, I offer a compassionate and empathetic space for them to explore their feelings and experiences. Through therapy, we work together to identify the underlying factors contributing to their depression, which may include biological, psychological, and social factors. I provide evidence-based techniques and strategies to help manage their symptoms, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and lifestyle modifications. Additionally, I assist in developing coping skills, building resilience, and fostering social support networks. My goal is to empower patients to overcome depression, regain a sense of hope and purpose, and live fulfilling lives.
