Depression
Dr. Megan Kloep
Psychologist, Ph.D, Clinical Psychologist
Depression can range from mild to severe and, I believe, requires flexibility to treat as we all have different needs. I often utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Depression but tend to integrate other evidence based approaches based on each individual person.

Taylor Allie
Licensed Professional Counselor, LGPC
Clients managing their depressive behaviors are far stronger than they often view themselves, which is why I use a collaborative and DBT-informed approach to support them in recognizing their present strengths and building new skills that will soften their worldview and progress them toward the life they want and deserve.

Reginald K. Riggins
Psychologist, PhD
Depression is one of the most common mental health conditions diagnosed. In my experience, cognitive-behavioral therapy has been the most effective approach to treating depression symptoms. This would entail address thinking errors, altering maladaptive behaviors and increases one's level of mindfulness to reduce depression symptoms.

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!
