Depression
Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
Having a hopeless or helpless outlook on your life is the most common symptom of depression. Other feelings may be worthlessness, self-hate, or inappropriate guilt. Common, recurring thoughts of depression may be vocalized as, “It's all my fault,” or “What's the point?”

Depression
Yvette Chalifoux M.A., LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
You're going through the motions of daily life, but nothing feels meaningful or enjoyable anymore. Simple tasks feel overwhelming, you're exhausted even when you haven't done much, and you're wondering if this heavy, empty feeling will ever lift or if anyone would even understand how much you're struggling. Through evidence-based techniques, together, we'll develop a tailored approach to support your goals.

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.

Depression
Kerline Theodore
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I specialize in working with adults experiencing depression, including high-functioning individuals who may appear “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or detached. I have extensive experience supporting clients navigating persistent sadness, low motivation, burnout, and feelings of hopelessness. Together, we identify underlying triggers, shift unhelpful thought patterns using evidence-based approaches.

New Bedford is a southeastern Massachusetts city with one of the most distinctive identities of any American city of its size—Herman Melville's Moby-Dick opens here, and the city was once the richest per capita in America thanks to its whaling industry—now home to the highest-volume commercial fishing port in the United States by dollar value, with an economy still anchored by fishing, manufacturing, and logistics. The city has a large Cape Verdean-American community (one of the largest in the world outside Cape Verde), as well as significant Portuguese and Brazilian populations, and the intersection of these communities' mental health needs—including the specific experiences of Cape Verdean identity, immigration, and intergenerational stress—creates important considerations for culturally competent care. Southcoast Health provides behavioral health services, and community health organizations serve the diverse population. Common therapy concerns include fishing industry occupational trauma and risk, Cape Verdean and Portuguese-American identity and immigration stress, economic anxiety, substance use (New Bedford has been significantly affected by opioids), and the mental health challenges of a proud working-class city navigating industrial and demographic change.
