Depression
Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with clients to understand how depression affects thoughts, emotions, and daily behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies to lift mood, increase motivation, and rebuild engagement in meaningful activities. I guide clients in challenging negative thinking, setting achievable goals, and cultivating self-compassion. My goal is to help clients regain a sense of control, find hope, and build skills to navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and balance.

Depression
Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression is a common word now but there's so much to it. You may feel hopeless and sad, scared, gloomy, and more. Maybe there is stigma in your culture or family. Maybe you have been told that depression is a "choice." It isn't your fault. I am here to help you take steps to manage your depression. But you are enough. And you do not need to be "fixed."

Depression
Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Depression can manifest in many different ways for different people. Some are struggling to recover from a loss or setback and just can't find a way to get back to their old selves. Others may have struggled with shifting mood, confidence, energy, self-esteem, etc. for what seems like their whole lives and very few things seem to work. Many individuals used to have a full life with many rewarding relationships and activities but, at some point, what used to bring them happiness no longer does it for them. Finally, some people experience depressive "episodes" beginning in their late teens or early adulthood that appear to come and go without any trigger and feel more like a traditional "chemical imbalance." My approach to depression offers something different for individuals who have not had much success with traditional CBT and/or "talk" therapies. I utilized a combination evidence-based behavioral activities and emotion regulation skills to first restore positive experiences in your day to day life. Once short-term strategies for increasing wellbeing have been established, we will explore and process the impact depression has had across your life to further build your resilience against future recurrences of unhelpful mood fluctuations.
