Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Having treated hundreds of people struggling with depression and major depressive disorder, I would offer that I am an expert in helping roll back depression symptoms. I began my career as an art therapist in an outpatient center and the majority of my clients were young adults and teens with depression symptoms. A cornerstone of my graduate work was to use art therapy to help people with depression to express themselves in art media. Now as a seasoned experienced therapist, I have been educated with dozens of techniques to help eliminate feelings and symptoms of depression.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I assist individuals dealing with depression by using a blend of psychodynamic insights, evidence based practices and a strength-based approach. Fundamentally, I use a psychodynamic lens to help the client explore underlying emotional conflicts and past experiences that may contribute to their current struggles, fostering deeper self-awareness and insight. Regarding evidence based practices, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)to help to address negative thought patterns and behaviors, providing clients with practical tools to manage their symptoms effectively. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can also be helpful to incorporate into treatment given that depression often involves avoiding situations, people, or activities that could trigger negative emotions. ACT helps individuals confront and engage with these avoided aspects of life in a mindful and values-driven manner, reducing avoidance and increasing overall life engagement. By focusing on clients’ inherent strengths, passions and past successes, I also help them re-build a sense of self-efficacy, confidence and resilience which can impact and improve depressive symptoms. Lastly, I commonly develop collaborative relationships with clients physicians in order to offer a more integrated treatment plan that supports the clients healing.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals experiencing depression by helping them understand patterns such as low motivation, withdrawal, and negative self-talk that can keep them feeling stuck. Depression can impact mood, energy, relationships, and your sense of purpose. In therapy, we focus on building small, meaningful changes in daily life while also addressing the thoughts and beliefs that contribute to feeling hopeless or disconnected. I use CBT-based strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and support clients in re-engaging with activities and values that bring a greater sense of purpose and direction.

Depression can feel like a silent, heavy weight—but having someone who can hold space and hope for you can be profoundly healing.
