Farrah Bonde
Registered Social Worker, LISW
Mental health therapy for depression is a supportive and effective way to address challenges that come with feeling persistently sad, hopeless, angry, or overwhelmed. During therapy, you can explore the root causes of the depression, develop healthier thinking patters, and learn coping strategies to manage their emotions. Therapy provides a safe, non judgmental space where clients can gain insight into their struggles, build resilience, and work towards a more balanced, fulfilling life.

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.

The cycle of depression ebbs and flows and can feel overwhelming at times. It is completely natural to seek the help and support of a professional to develop skills that can aid in managing such in healthy ways. I also offer support to family members of loved ones experiencing 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.

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.
