Depression
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
When depression takes hold, even capable and responsible people may find their energy, motivation, and focus gradually fading. What once felt manageable can begin to feel heavy or overwhelming. I provide structured, evidence-based therapy to help clients better understand depression, regain momentum, and reconnect with a sense of direction and engagement in their lives.

Depression
Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Depression can feel like you’re carrying a weight that never lifts—no matter how much you push through, you still feel exhausted, disconnected, and empty. You might find yourself withdrawing from loved ones, feeling numb, or struggling to find motivation for even the simplest tasks. Maybe you tell yourself you “should” be fine, that other people have it worse, but deep down, you feel stuck in a cycle you can’t break. Even when things in your life seem objectively “okay,” you might still battle feelings of unworthiness, guilt, or hopelessness. This isn’t just sadness—it’s the result of unresolved pain, self-doubt, and a nervous system that has learned to shut down instead of feeling safe and engaged. If you grew up in an environment where your emotions weren’t validated, where you had to suppress your needs to avoid conflict or rejection, it makes sense that your mind and body adapted by numbing out and disconnecting.
But depression doesn’t have to define you. Healing isn’t about forcing yourself to “think positive” or just “try harder”—it’s about getting to the root of what’s keeping you stuck. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Post-Induction Therapy (PIT), I help clients release stored trauma, reprocess painful memories, and rebuild self-worth. Instead of just managing symptoms, therapy helps you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels authentic, hopeful, and sustainable. You deserve to feel alive, engaged, and at peace in your own life—and you don’t have to get there alone.

Depression
Peter Hoistad
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, LADC
Working through depression is something I have lots of experience with. The biggest thing to remember is that it takes a long time to change the way something has affected someone, so keeping in mind that it is a marathon and not a sprint helps build the foundations to overcoming the depressive symptoms.

Depression
Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with depression by helping them understand and manage their symptoms. Through evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and behavioral activation, I help people challenge negative thought patterns, improve their mood, and develop healthy coping strategies. My goal is to support individuals in finding ways to increase their motivation, reconnect with activities they enjoy, and build a stronger sense of well-being. Referrals for medication management, if desired, are made to local prescribing providers. Treatment resistant depression, although rare, is referred to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), ketamine therapy, and/or other psychedelic psychotherapy options if locally available.
