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.

Marnie Kahn
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, HeartMath Certified Practitioner
Depression is a crippling disorder that does not discriminate. The loss of light, joy and hope creates a darkness that can seem like their is no way out of. When I work with individuals who are suffering with depression, I help them to discover the light that is within them that has been covered up by the difficulties of life and from the external searching for happiness. I help them to shift from searching outside of themselves to opening to what is on the inside.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA in Counseling, LCPC, LIMHP, LMHC
If you're feeling depressed, know that you are not alone. YOUR LIFE MATTERS.
My approach to depression counseling is based on compassion, empathy, and a deep respect for you. I believe that every person is unique, and that your experiences and emotions are valid and deserving of attention and care.
I am diligent to provide a presence in which you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. I am for my clients and want to see them find relief and see themselves as capable of change, with support.

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!

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I work with children, adolescents, and adults with depression by considering with you how intensely hopeless or despairing feelings may affect your thoughts and beliefs about yourself, others, and the world around you; how to regulate feelings of hopelessness and worry, and which factor(s) may be contributing to your depression. I also work with you on behavioral activation for depression strategies to support motivation and self-care.
