Depression
Tara Leigh Thomsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, CPC
Those of us who have depression realize it truly permeates everything in our life. Having a professional to discuss your emotions with can help you on your road to recovery by assisting you in changing harmful thinking and behavior. I am also equipped to help you understand how medications alter your mood so you can be a partner in your medical treatment with your prescriber. My license does not allow me to prescribe medications.

Depression
Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Depression can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, others, and the things that once brought meaning and fulfillment to our lives. My approach recognizes that depression is more than a collection of symptoms; it is often intertwined with our relationships, life experiences, losses, and struggles with meaning and identity. Drawing from existential-humanistic and relational psychotherapy, I work collaboratively with clients to understand their depression within the broader context of their lives. Together, we explore underlying emotional experiences, develop greater self-awareness, and identify possibilities for renewed connection, hope, and meaning. My goal is not only to alleviate suffering but also to help clients rediscover a greater sense of vitality, authenticity, and engagement with life.

Depression
Jennifer Francke Psychotherapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, LPC, LADC, LMHC
Living with depression can feel isolating and overwhelming, affecting every part of your life. Whether you’re dealing with persistent sadness, fatigue, hopelessness, or a lack of interest in things you once enjoyed, depression can make even the smallest tasks feel impossible. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions, and to break free from the cycle of negative thinking. I use a variety of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to challenge negative beliefs, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), which focuses on improving relationships that may contribute to your depression. Mindfulness techniques help you stay grounded in the present moment, while Behavioral Activation encourages you to engage in rewarding activities, even when motivation is low. My goal is to help you regain a sense of purpose and joy, rebuild your confidence, and develop healthy coping strategies to manage difficult emotions. Together, we can work to understand the underlying causes of your depression and create a brighter future. You don’t have to face depression alone—therapy can help you rediscover hope and take the first step toward healing.
