Depression
Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC
Psychologist
Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming and leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. I provide therapy for adults who are experiencing sadness, loss of motivation, fatigue, or hopelessness. Using evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing, and psychoeducation, I help clients gain insight, strengthen coping skills, and take small but meaningful steps toward healing. If you are struggling with depression, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation and see how therapy can support you.

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.

Depression
Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
When you are living with depression, even the smallest daily tasks can feel like a heavy uphill climb. Anne provides a warm, non-judgmental, and deeply collaborative space to help you safely explore those feelings of exhaustion, disconnect, and low self-esteem. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she partners with individuals to gently break through the isolation of depression and rebuild a sense of purpose, vitality, and hope.
Anne’s integrative approach goes beyond standard talk therapy. By blending evidence-based depression protocols with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and creative art therapy, she gives clients alternative ways to process deep-seated emotions, especially when it feels impossible to put them into words. Whether your depression is tied to a difficult life transition, chronic illness, trauma, grief, or the unique hormonal and emotional shifts of the perinatal and postpartum journey, Anne is dedicated to helping you develop manageable, everyday coping strategies to reconnect with yourself and your life.
