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
Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals experiencing depression in its many forms, from persistent low mood and loss of motivation to more complex, longstanding patterns of disconnection and hopelessness. Depression often impacts not just how someone feels, but how they see themselves, their relationships, and their future.
My approach is both compassionate and active. I focus on understanding the underlying emotional and relational patterns that contribute to depression, while also helping clients re-engage with their lives in meaningful, manageable ways. Together, we work to identify what may be keeping them stuck, build greater emotional awareness, and gradually restore a sense of agency, connection, and vitality.
I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without being overwhelmed, and supported without being pushed too quickly—allowing change to unfold in a way that is both sustainable and deeply felt.

Depression
Silvina Falcon - Levine
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW
At times you may view yourself negatively and experience the world around you as a desolate place. In those moments, you struggle with feelings of sadness, devastating guilt, and despair. There is nothing positive in your life and joy is elusive. You have a difficult time finding the energy and motivation to accomplish even simple everyday tasks. Feeling of hopeless and helpless persist almost every day.
If these descriptions resonate with your experience, you may be struggling with clinical depression. Depression can arise as a temporary response to overwhelming life events or it can be a constant state that makes joy and optimism impossible to reach. Regardless of its type, there is effective treatment for these symptoms. I have extensive experience in helping clients improve their mood and the quality of their life. I believe that evidence-based methods are the key to alleviate symptoms and relieve emotional pain. The systematic use of cognitive, behavioral, and motivational methods, as well as mindfulness and relapse prevention, can help you manage your symptoms, and begin experience greater freedom and joy. These treatment approaches can allow you to improve your connection with yourself and others and experience more fulfillment in your daily life.
