Depression
Debra Zand
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression can feel like a heavy, suffocating blanket, leaving you feeling exhausted, isolated, or unlike yourself. If you are struggling to find motivation or feeling trapped in hopelessness, please know that you do not have to carry this alone. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together to unmask these feelings, process the root causes, and gently rebuild your sense of joy and connection.

Depression
Raber Hamad
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Depression can make even the simplest things feel overwhelming. Maybe you wake up feeling drained before the day even starts, struggling to find motivation or joy in things that used to matter. It might feel like you’re just going through the motions—disconnected, numb, or weighed down by a heaviness you can’t shake. You tell yourself to “snap out of it,” but no matter how hard you try, it doesn’t work.
You’re not broken, and you don’t have to do this alone. Depression isn’t just sadness—it’s your mind and body responding to deep exhaustion, unprocessed pain, or overwhelming stress. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and other research-backed approaches, we’ll work together to understand what’s beneath the surface, so you can move from just surviving to actually feeling alive again.

Depression
Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
The word "depression" is often used by most everyone in our culture. As such, many people tend to equate sadness or feeling blue with being "depressed." One of the chief preliminary understandings I bring to the table is skill in diagnosing Major Depressive Disorder from having worked as a mobile crisis counselor, having seen many clients with suicidal ideation over the years. I understand that Major Depression is no something one can easily will away by just doing a bit more exercise or trying to think positively. I realize that clients who live with depression often have people in their lives telling them to get over it, move on, pray it away etc. In addition to not using these platitudes with clients, I recognize that people living with MDD often need a combined approach of therapy and medication. If you have never tried meds or seen a psychiatrist, I will help you figure out whether you should explore this. Also, given my clinical background, I do not overreact to clients having suicidal thoughts or severe depression, so these topics can be talked about openly with me without fear of me operating from a reactive stance.

Depression
Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Feeling stuck, hopeless, or disconnected can make everyday life feel heavy. I work with clients experiencing depression to explore the underlying causes, identify patterns, and develop practical strategies for coping and growth. Using an integrative approach, including CBT and DBT-informed techniques, I help clients regain motivation, reconnect with meaning, and gradually build a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we create a safe, compassionate space for healing and positive change.

St. Louis sits at a crossroads of the Midwest and the South, and its deeply segregated geography shapes a mental health landscape where therapists frequently address racial trauma, economic stress, and community-level grief rooted in the city's long history of systemic inequality. The 2014 Ferguson uprising brought national attention to St. Louis and left a lasting psychological mark on many residents, and therapists specializing in racial trauma, activism fatigue, and community healing remain in strong demand. Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital provide world-class institutional mental health resources, with a strong private practice community concentrated in Clayton, the Central West End, and South City. St. Louis's lower cost of living relative to coastal cities makes quality private therapy more financially accessible for many residents.
