Depression
Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
The term "Depression" isn't just a medical term having to do with lack of adequate Seratonin in the brain. Did you know that there are actually more Seratonin receptors in our digestive tract than in our brains? Depression means that someone's nervous system got overloaded from being in "survival mode" for so long that it sort of shuts down or at least slows down. Depression really means "depleted and defeated" and doesn't just happen overnight. Treating Depression without medication is possible in mild to moderate cases and I strongly encourage clients to try non-medication methods first. Medications are not without risk or side effects so unless a person is suicidal, I discourage use of medication. Other natural methods to treat Depression can include acupuncture (I can provide a referral), natural supplements that don't cause harm, and lifestyle changes such as increasing exercise, yoga, improving diet, getting adequate quality sleep, drinking more water, and exploring some kind of spiritual path or community. Depression symptoms can take a while to improve and will require diligent effort on the part of the client but it really can improve!

Leslie Worley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Depression, the sinking feeling, the isolation, the loneliness. It can be so incredibly overwhelming. In my practice, you'll learn how to ride the wave of depression instead of being devoured by it. You'll learn how to get a head of it, manage it, and live a life you're really excited about.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
When navigating the "deep end" of Depression, we use somatic focusing to find the small, flickering pilot light of your own testimony. As a clinician who understands the weight of systemic harm, I don't just "fix" your mood; I partner with you to witness the history that brought you here. Together, we move toward a reclamation of hope that is grounded in reality, not platitudes.
