Depression
Boston Evening Therapy Associates
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LICSW, LMHC, LCSW
Depression like anxiety presents in many ways across a spectrum from severe to mild but in any form, it is a burden and a concern that is important to address. It can blunt or obscure much or all of the joy of being alive. It is not only a primary cause of suicide in the extreme but even in mild form can cast a pall over the perceived worth and relevance of one's life. In short, the psychic and emotional suffering of depression is vital to address whenever possible and we are prepared, skilled and eager to help you to do so.

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.

Depression
Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Depression can make us believe we need to feel better before we can begin doing better. Often, the opposite is true. Evidence-based approaches such as behavioral activation show that purposeful action can help shift mood rather than waiting for motivation to arrive first. Sometimes the work is about emptying the glass—making space for what has accumulated—and then taking small, intentional steps toward movement, connection, and meaning. You don't have to feel ready to begin. Sometimes, the doing is part of what helps you feel better.

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. Reach out for a free consultation to learn more about how my Holistic Approach can help you.

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.

Depression
Tin Huang
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating the heavy weight of depression, helping them find pathways toward renewed hope and energy. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, creating a safe space to openly explore feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and lack of motivation without shame. Together, we'll identify triggers, develop effective coping strategies, and gently work to lift the fog of depression. I also recognize that cultural expectations and systemic factors, such as societal pressures or lack of resources, can significantly contribute to and exacerbate depressive states. Through this holistic and informed partnership, I empower clients to regain their vitality, build resilience, and rediscover joy in their lives.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Depression can make life feel muted - relationships grow distant, motivation fades, and the world loses color. My approach looks beyond symptoms to the emotional and relational patterns that keep you feeling stuck or alone. Together, we uncover how attachment, self-criticism, and unmet needs shape your experience of sadness and disconnection. Whether depression has followed loss, betrayal, or chronic stress, therapy offers a path back to clarity, steadiness, and genuine connection - with yourself and with those you love.
