Depression is often a hurt or pain that has been suppressed. Once we are able to bring compassion to these experiences, individuals often feel more self worth and self value.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
In my therapeutic approach to helping individuals heal from depression, I draw upon my expertise as a licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist to provide a comprehensive and holistic path towards recovery. One of the core techniques I utilize is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which is highly effective in reshaping the way negative memories are stored in the brain. As a neuropsychologist, I focus on rewiring the brain to release the grip of negative thought patterns and facilitate the creation of new neuropathways centered around self-love, gratitude, and empowerment.
Recognizing the significant impact of repetitive thought patterns on mental well-being, I emphasize thought conditioning as a cornerstone of my approach. I empower individuals to rewire their brains for more adaptive thinking by teaching them techniques and strategies that lead to positive and constructive thought patterns. At the heart of my methodology is the cultivation of self-love, a fundamental component of mental and emotional healing.
To achieve these transformative goals, I integrate various therapeutic tools and practices, including affirmations, meditation, journaling, and self-care routines. Additionally, I possess the skills necessary to assist individuals in uncovering and addressing blind spots and underlying core beliefs that may be contributing to their depression. By guiding my clients through this comprehensive process, I aim to empower them to take control of their mental health, embrace self-love, and ultimately find their path towards a brighter, more fulfilling life.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression can feel like a heaviness that’s hard to shake—low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and others. In therapy, we take the time to understand what’s beneath these experiences rather than pushing them aside. By exploring patterns, emotions, and the context around them, our work can help you reconnect with yourself, find more steadiness, and gradually re-engage with life in a way that feels more meaningful and sustainable.
