Depression
Ross W. Hackerson

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. My modality of choice is Image Transformation Therapy and the EMDR Feeling State focus model. I find this model creates actual behavioral and motivational change rather than only understanding

Depression can show up in many forms, such as exhaustion, hopelessness, lack of motivation, or even irritability. I work with individuals to explore the underlying patterns, support meaningful change, and help restore a sense of connection to self and life.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics, Somatic Counseling & Bodywork
Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, HE, LMT
Depression is not a personal failure but rather a result from uncontrollable events and circumstances over time. We explore together slowly and gently so that nervous system regulation and safety can be strengthened. The body digests emotional overwhelm and burnout - two causes of depression - in small steps. Rest is a sacred act, and we explore ways to honor your need for rest and self-care.
Sessions explore the circumstances that may be influencing depression such as nutrition, microbiome, sleep, viral, mold, and environmental influences, so changes can be addressed to help improve your quality of life.

Depression
Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
You’ve spent a long time pushing through things that were never fully resolved. At some point, your system just ran out of fuel. What used to feel manageable now feels heavy, exhausting, or pointless. You may feel numb, shut down, disconnected, or like you don’t have the energy to keep carrying everything the way you used to.
Depression like this isn’t a personal weakness—it’s often your brain and body reaching their limit after prolonged stress or trauma. I help clients work through the experiences that led to this shutdown so they can regain energy, clarity, and a sense of themselves again. Using EMDR, we address what’s underneath the depression so it no longer keeps you stuck.
