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.

Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
Depression in men often looks like exhaustion, numbness, irritability, loss of motivation, or quiet withdrawal rather than sadness alone. I work with men whose depression is tied to chronic stress, trauma, shame, or unresolved internal conflicts. Treatment is active and structured, focused on restoring engagement, emotional range, and direction rather than remaining stuck in symptom monitoring.

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.

Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
Depression can be episodic or chronic. We need to understand what your depression is built out of. What memories, thoughts, and feelings contribute to a narrative in your life and what daily routines support the ongoing feeling of depression.
