Life Coach, Life Coach
Depression! Ah, depression. What energizes, lies below, depression? PAIN, right? What if we could address that Pain directly? Eliminate the Pain and then go to the source and work with that? We Do.

Brian Hobbs
Psychologist, M.Ed., CAGS, IAAP
I approach depression as disconnection from life energy and , and thus work toward the renewal of this connection and of this capacity. Most often this involves identifying and working with what may be blocking this connection.

Depression
Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include depression therapy, major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, low mood, motivation support, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ who are struggling with depression, persistent low mood, or feelings of hopelessness. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from life, relationships, and their sense of purpose. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed, helping clients identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and rebuild motivation and emotional resilience. Therapy is a space to explore what contributes to your depression, reduce self-criticism, and gradually regain a sense of balance, energy, and fulfillment in daily life.
