Depression
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.

Depression
Donald Glenn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Depression is common in today's world, but also surprisingly easy for both clients and therapists to miss in its more subtle presentations. With decades of experience treating depression, both medically and with therapy, I understand the more nuanced presentations of depression that are often misdiagnosed as other conditions. Similarly, many medical and mental health conditions are often missed due to being confused with a diagnosis of depression. Once identified and understood, depression can be effectively managed through a variety of therapeutic techniques.

Depression
Gemstone Wellness, Inc.
Psychologist, PsyD, LCPC, LCSW, LPC
At Gemstone Wellness, depression is not approached as a flaw to be corrected, but as a meaningful experience that deserves to be understood in context. We recognize that depression often carries layers—emotional, relational, cultural, and physiological—and cannot be reduced to a single cause or quick solution. Instead of pushing for immediate change, therapy begins by creating space to gently explore what has led to the heaviness, disconnection, or loss of meaning you may be feeling.
Our work is grounded in trauma-informed, insight-oriented care. Depression can show up as exhaustion, numbness, hopelessness, or a sense that even simple tasks feel overwhelming. We move at a pace that respects your nervous system, helping you reconnect with yourself gradually rather than forcing momentum before it’s possible. Over time, this allows for increased emotional clarity, regulation, and a renewed sense of internal steadiness.
We do not rely on a rigid or one-size-fits-all model. Therapy may include a blend of relational work, cognitive and behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and deeper exploration of identity, loss, or past experiences—always tailored to your needs. Some sessions may focus on building energy and structure; others may hold space for grief, reflection, or simply being where you are.
Importantly, we understand that depression is often rooted in more than biology alone. Experiences such as trauma, chronic stress, identity-based marginalization, grief, or disconnection from purpose can all contribute. Therapy at Gemstone Wellness makes room for these deeper layers, helping you not only feel better, but understand yourself more fully.
The goal is not to force positivity, but to restore connection—connection to your emotions, your relationships, and your sense of meaning. As that connection strengthens, many clients begin to experience a return of energy, motivation, and hope—not as something imposed, but as something that emerges naturally from being more fully seen and understood.

Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
Depression can feel lonely and make daily tasks feel difficult to approach or complete. Symptoms of major depression may include sadness and withdrawal, irritability, loss of enjoyment, and changes with concentration, appetite and sleep. I help clients explore the challenges they are facing, identify goals, and develop a plan to reduce how depression impacts daily functioning.
