Dr. Joyce Wagner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW-R
So many people struggle with depression. Depending on the length of time the client has been depressed, as well as the severity we may employ principles from CBT or DBT to help improve thoughts, overall mood and behaviors. I also work with clients to uncover any root issues that may be contributing to the depression at this time; if trauma is involved we may use EMDR. For those whose depression is severe (or there are suicidal thoughts) safety planning becomes a priority as well as employing the support of family, friends and medical professionals.

Kristie Tse
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Overcome chronic feelings of emptiness and take back control over your life.
High achievers, especially those who live in New York, have a tendency to associate fulfillment with accomplishments because they’ve been taught that their happiness and worth are directly related to their ability to crush goals at an early age. Unfortunately, life happens and even high achievers can’t be on their A-game all of the time. The problem is when something is wrong in the life of a high achiever, they tend to think it's because they haven't accomplished enough, and that they can fake it ‘til they make it.
The truth is, sometimes being a high achiever can make you feel like you're expected to be happy all the time and when you struggle with depression daily, it may feel like you’ve lost control. You may have a hard time understanding why you can't just “get over it” and move on, or why you can't just “snap out of it” like you do when you are on top of your game. You might also feel like your achievements are meaningless because they don't know what else to do to make themselves feel better.
It can be incredibly frustrating for someone who has worked hard for everything they have achieved to feel like that effort is failing them now. But depression doesn't care if you have a great job, amazing relationships, or luxurious things in your home: it just happens. It's not your fault, and we're here to help.
