Jenna Buono
Therapist, LPMHC
At Petals Therapy Psychotherapy, we support clients navigating the weight of depression, whether it shows up as persistent sadness, low motivation, feelings of emptiness, or difficulty finding joy in daily life. We understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to face these challenges alone.
Our approach focuses on uncovering underlying patterns, exploring emotional experiences, and building practical coping strategies. We work collaboratively to help clients regain energy, restore hope, and reconnect with their strengths and values.
With compassionate support, clients can move toward greater emotional balance, renewed purpose, and a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling.

Depression
Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have 10 years of experience working with clients experiencing depression ranging from mild, persistent low mood to more severe and debilitating symptoms. In my work, I focus on helping clients understand the cycles of depression—how they develop, what maintains them, and how we can begin to gently interrupt and shift them over time.
A significant part of this process involves exploring past experiences that may have shaped how a person sees themselves, others, and the world. This can include working through negative or painful experiences, as well as untangling the ways we may have internalized family histories, patterns, or expectations that continue to impact our sense of self today. Together, we work toward creating more space to define who you are outside of these inherited or learned narratives. My goal is to support clients in breaking out of stuck patterns, reconnecting with themselves, and building a more grounded and sustainable sense of hope, meaning, and direction in their lives.

Depression
Deborah Ejiofor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Treating depression in therapy helps people identify negative thoughts and behaviors that contribute to feelings of sadness or hopelessness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is commonly used to change these thoughts into healthier ones. Therapy also provides a space to explore the causes of depression, like past trauma or stress, and learn coping skills such as mindfulness or relaxation techniques. The goal is to improve emotional well-being, build resilience, and teach practical ways to manage and reduce depression over time.

Depression
Craig Springer
Psychologist, PhD
Is sadness and despair overwhelming your experience of yourself and the world?
Do you feel as if a dark cloud is hovering over you?
Do even the simplest things seem too difficult to accomplish?
Do you wish you could just leave, even though you don’t even know where to go?
Are feelings of helplessness overwhelming you?
If you can identify with these descriptions, then you may be struggling with clinical depression. Depression can be temporary striking because of overwhelming life events or it can be more persistent.
Regardless of its source, there is effective treatment for these symptoms. I have extensive experience in helping clients improve their mood and quality of their life. I rely on evidence-based methods that can relieve emotional pain and aid clients’ recovery from debilitating symptoms.
I would love to partner with you to help you get you back to the enjoyment you want. Treatment can bring back positive feelings, allowing you to improve your connection with yourself and others, achieve fulfillment and help you to function at your best.
So if you’ve said to yourself…
“I can’t do anything right.”
“I’m a failure”
“There is no point to even trying.”
“ I’m doomed.”
“Nobody cares….”
“I wish I wasn’t here.”
… Then, let me help you. Give yourself a chance for a better life. You already took the first step by visiting this page. Contact me today so that we can discuss a plan to get you back on track.

Elizabeth is New Jersey's fourth-largest city and one of its most densely populated and ethnically diverse communities, a port city in Union County with a long history of immigrant settlement that today is home to large Dominican, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Haitian, and other Latin American and Caribbean communities, alongside significant West African populations. The city has a high poverty rate and limited private therapy infrastructure, and the most pressing mental health needs are often addressed through emergency and community health channels. Multilingual care—in Spanish, Haitian Creole, and other languages—is essential, and bilingual and bicultural therapists who understand the specific experiences of recent immigrants, refugees, and documentation-insecure communities are in consistent demand. Common therapy concerns include immigration trauma, family separation, economic stress, anxiety, depression, and the compounding psychological challenges of navigating life in a dense urban community with limited resources and significant systemic barriers.
