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
Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Low mood that does not lift, loss of motivation, the heaviness of getting through the day. Depression has many causes and is best supported by a team that may include a medical doctor and a licensed mental health professional. Within that picture, RTT can be a powerful complement. It works at the subconscious level to find and update the beliefs that often sit underneath low mood, things like "I am not enough", "I do not matter" or "nothing I do will change anything". When those root beliefs shift, many clients describe feeling lighter and more able to engage with life again. If you are currently under medical care, please continue to work with your provider. I am happy to work alongside them.

Depression
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating depression symptoms and related disorders for many years such that it is an area in which I have particular experience. You and I will examine the component parts of your symptoms such as emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. We’ll then examine how these parts are connected and how they impact each other. I’ll help you create changes to one or more of these parts to achieve your desired symptom relief.

Louisville's therapy community is shaped by the city's dual identity as a major healthcare hub — anchored by the University of Louisville Health system, Norton Healthcare, and Baptist Health — and a culturally rich city with deep roots in bourbon, thoroughbred racing, and Southern Midwestern community values. The Muhammad Ali Center and the city's civil rights heritage sustain meaningful conversations about racial identity, community resilience, and systemic inequity in clinical work. The University of Louisville's department of psychological and brain sciences provides important training resources for the local therapy community. Louisville's positioning at the intersection of Appalachian influence, Southern tradition, and Midwestern pragmatism shapes a therapy culture where direct, accessible, and often spiritually informed approaches find the broadest acceptance.
