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.

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.

Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
There's feeling depressed and then there's DEPRESSION. While neither is fun, it is important to get a proper diagnosis so treatment can begin and a resolution to the Major Depressive Episode can happen. Interventions for chronic, low grade depression are different than for acute, Major Depressive Episodes. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon to have both! Behavioral activation is an important CBT intervention to start chipping away at the block of ice that is MDD.

Depression can be extremely isolating and debilitating, and therefore, requires grace, attention, and care. Focusing on the present, let us work together to make changes that will hold space for personal growth and cultivate regulation, contentment, congruence, joy, stability, forward movement, and fulfilment.
