Depression
Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Does it feel like you're just getting through the day, disconnected from yourself, others, or the things that once brought you joy? Depression often has a story to tell. Together, we'll gently explore what's beneath the heaviness, helping you heal the emotional wounds that may be fueling it so you can reconnect with a greater sense of vitality, meaning, and hope.

Depression
Angelynn Lindor
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel heavy—like you’re moving through life in slow motion or disconnected from your sense of purpose. Whether it shows up as sadness, irritability, numbness, or exhaustion, I provide a supportive space where you don’t have to pretend or push through. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your depression—whether rooted in trauma, life transitions, low self-worth, or chronic stress—and develop practical tools to help you regain motivation, balance your emotions, and reconnect with yourself. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and a holistic lens that honors your story, identity, and (if desired) your faith. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Depression
Dr. Daniel Cantor
Psychologist, Psy. D.
Depression can be harrowing because the energy of life feels inaccessible and the joy of even basic activities is so faint that everything becomes meaningless. In therapy the lost energy can be regained and activities of life will regain their dynamic quality. Sometimes its a powerful act to let a therapist into the view of life your depression is creating. Even a small step toward seeking help can empower you to complete the whole journey of restoration.

Leslie Bowman, Holistic Psychotherapist
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC, Over 20 years of successful experience
Depression is debilitating! Having personally being depressed for many years, I understand the pain and suffering depression causes in us. From my own healing journey, I had to evaluate my entire body, not just my thoughts. Depression is caused by many factors and it's important to evaluate everything. My background in neuroscience, nutrition (gut-brain connection), and psychology is very useful in helping my clients understand the root causes of their depression and determine realistic ways to improve their lives.

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.

We offer compassionate, individualized support for women experiencing depression at any life stage, whether it's tied to hormonal shifts, relationship strain, loss, burnout, or something harder to name. You don't have to just push through. Relief is possible.

Boston's extraordinary concentration of universities — including Harvard, MIT, Boston University, and Northeastern — generates strong demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult transitions, and anxiety. The area is home to world-class mental health institutions including Massachusetts General Hospital and nearby McLean Hospital in Belmont, and many private therapists work in close collaboration with these systems. Boston's large student and young professional population drives high demand for therapists focusing on identity, relationships, and adjustment to major life changes. The city also has a significant immigrant population from Cape Verde, China, Vietnam, and Latin America, with bilingual and culturally informed therapists well represented.
