Depression
New Perspective Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LMSW, MA, LPC
If you feel lost, hopeless and overwhelmed. If you have difficulty enjoying the things that used to give you pleasure or struggle to get out of bed in the morning then you may have depression. Depression can result form a single major traumatic event or may develop over a lifetime of disappointments and problems. Sometimes people try to tough it out or put on a happy face, but holding feelings in only makes depression worse.
When treating depression we work with clients to identify factors contributing to the depression, correct distorted thinking, learn to process uncomfortable or painful feelings so they are not internalized and make behavioral changes that will improve your outlook. Proper therapy for depression has helped many people regain a sense of happiness and purpose in their life.

Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in things and activities you once enjoyed. It can also cause difficulty with thinking, memory, eating, and sleeping.
It’s normal to feel sad about or grieve over difficult life situations, such as losing your job or a divorce. But depression is different in that it persists practically every day for at least two weeks and involves other symptoms than sadness alone.
Symptoms of depression can be debilitating. Depression is a common mental health condition that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and changes in how you think, sleep, eat and act. There are several different types. Depression is treatable — usually with talk therapy, medication, or both. Seeking medical help as soon as you have symptoms is essential.
Medications and psychotherapy are effective for most people with depression. Your primary care doctor or psychiatrist can prescribe medications to relieve symptoms. However, many people with depression also benefit from seeing a psychologist or other mental health professional.
If you have severe depression, you may need a hospital stay, or you may need to participate in an outpatient treatment program until your symptoms improve. Contact a therapist today to help assess your levels of depression.

Monica Pitek-Fugedi
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC, CCATP
Depression can feel heavy. For many, the worst part is hearing other people tell you that you should just be happy. I understand that depression is far bigger than a choice. We often live our lives thinking that the main goal is to be happy. It is this thinking that often leads to more depression. I believe that the opposite of depression is not happiness. The opposite of depression is purpose. I will work with you to help you find your purpose, understand your depression, and incorporate strategies that will help you to feel motivated.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
There are several approaches that can work well, and I use them in combinations depending on the wishes of the client. I often use psychological testing to help clarify the underling issues and better target interventions, including recommending medications most likely to be effective, based on psychological testing results.
