Depression
Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
Depression is often misunderstood, thought to be the same as sadness or grief. While there are certainly similarities, depression has a different quality to it. Depression can make you feel like you have no life spark. It can make you feel like time has stopped. It can feel like it is taking over your life. Depression may be primarily organic, due to a chemical imbalance, or it may be primarily situational, or it can be a combination of both. Therapy can be very helpful for a person experiencing depression. It provides a place where things that are hard to talk about can be worked through. Many times, past trauma, as well as current situations, contribute to depression. Over time, we may get into habits of thought, feeling, and behavior that also contribute to depression. Even dietary habits can contribute. I use a holistic approach with psychodynamic underpinnings to look at past history, past trauma, beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns, and health and self-care habits to help clients address their depression.

Fort Wayne is Indiana's second-largest city and a hub for defense manufacturing, healthcare, and distribution logistics — an occupational mix that shapes a therapy culture in which shift work stress, workplace injury adjustment, and career identity are common themes. The city has a significant Burmese refugee community — one of the largest in the United States — creating important demand for therapists with cultural competence around refugee trauma, resettlement stress, and the challenges of navigating American systems. Parkview Health and Lutheran Health Network provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Fort Wayne's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated approaches are a prominent feature of the local therapy offering.
