Depression
Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Depression can make life feel smaller, draining motivation, hope, and connection while convincing you that things will never change. Rather than judging yourself for feeling stuck, we'll approach your experience with curiosity and compassion, exploring the patterns and life experiences that may be contributing to your pain. As we better understand what keeps depression in place, we'll also identify meaningful, manageable steps toward reconnecting with the people, activities, and values that bring your life purpose.

Depression
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.

Depression
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Depression can show up as more than sadness. It may feel like heaviness, disconnection, loss of motivation, or a quiet sense of moving through life on autopilot. Many women I work with continue to meet responsibilities even while feeling emotionally depleted inside. Therapy offers space to explore the deeper context surrounding these experiences and to reconnect with parts of yourself that may feel distant or muted. Together, we work toward restoring a greater sense of engagement, meaning, and internal support.

Columbia is home to the University of Missouri, the flagship state university, as well as several other colleges, giving it a pronounced college-town character and a mental health landscape significantly shaped by the needs of a large and diverse student population navigating academic pressure, identity, and the transition to adulthood. The MU School of Health Professions and Missouri Psychiatric Center contribute to the city's mental health professional resources, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and permanent residents. The city has a generally progressive and intellectually engaged culture with a positive attitude toward therapy, and LGBTQ+ affirmative care is more accessible here than in many other parts of Missouri. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and the particular experiences of a university community navigating complex social terrain in a politically divided state.
