Depression
Dr. Elizabeth Richards
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have over 15 years of experience working with adults struggling with depression, helping them navigate feelings of sadness, emptiness, loss of motivation, and a lack of joy in life, even when there is an abundance to be grateful for. Together, we’ll explore the underlying patterns and experiences that may be contributing to low mood and difficulty functioning, while also developing practical strategies to increase engagement, pleasure, and meaning in daily life. My goal is to support you in finding renewed energy, connection, and a greater sense of hope and purpose. Feel free to contact me for a complementary 15-minute consultation if you think I might be the right therapist for you.

Jenna Sackman - Online/Virtual Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
*Free Consultation* Depression can manifest itself in many different ways and can be incredibly debilitating and isolating. I know it may feel like all hope is gone, but it is possible to create positive change. My compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental approach allows me to meet you wherever you currently are and to walk alongside you as confidant, facilitator, thought partner, and supporter. I utilize cognitive based therapies, as well as mindfulness and insight oriented interventions, in order to help my clients build awareness, challenge and resolve problematic thoughts and behaviors, and improve their relationship with self, others and their environment. I offer a 15 min free consultation, so please reach out to see if we're a good fit!

Depression
Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I work with mood disorders of all types to help folks tease out what is symptom, what is sign of overwhelm and what is external to them. Interventions might include working on activation, healthy and adaptive self-care, relational issues such as limit setting and boundaries and work-life balance as well as parts that might be informed by past trauma. Liaising and coordinating with medical and other professionals that are involved in treatment is considered important here as well.

Depression
Joseph W. LaFleur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, DWTF, SEP, C-PATP
Depression isn't just sadness—it's the heaviness that makes getting out of bed feel impossible, the numbness that disconnects you from things you used to enjoy, and the voice that tells you nothing will ever change. We approach depression through psychodynamic, somatic, and cognitive frameworks, helping you understand what's underneath the fog while building momentum toward action. Therapy for depression here isn't about toxic positivity or pushing through—it's about reconnecting with yourself, your life, and your sense of what's possible.

Depression
Rick Brodsky
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Depression is very common, yet the origins and its presentation can be variable. We can explore what methodologies are a best fit for you. Typically, I find psychodynamic talk therapy to be useful as we work collaboratively to develop insight and understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy can provide us many strategies and new perspectives. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps us to think flexibly and make choices that are aligned with our values.

Nadira Jackson - TherapyWithDira

Depression can make it hard to see light in the moments that used to bring you joy. In our sessions, I hold a space where your pain can be seen without judgment. We’ll work to understand what your sadness is signaling and slowly reconnect you to meaning, purpose, and the parts of you that still hold hope. Healing doesn’t mean pretending to be okay, it means learning to be with yourself gently, even on the hard days.

Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
I work with adults experiencing depression, low mood, emotional numbness, and loss of motivation, including those who feel disconnected from themselves or overwhelmed by persistent self-criticism. Many clients continue to function outwardly while struggling internally with hopelessness, fatigue, or a diminished sense of purpose. My approach focuses on understanding the emotional and cognitive patterns that maintain depression while building practical strategies to restore engagement, self-compassion, and a greater sense of meaning and vitality in daily life.

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
Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression is like a tall weed in your garden- there is always something else underneath, and I have found that the combination of things that form the roots are different for each person. Unresolved grief, life changes and losses, coping with chronic stressors to the point where you are exhausted can all result in feeling like you are under a dark cloud that just won't lift, sapping your energy, your sleep, your self-esteem, and your joy. I will work with you to help you feel better again, using a combination of strategies to address the roots of the problem. If your child is experiencing depression, I can work with them directly, and with you as the parent, to help them feel better.

Depression
Mary Karlan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Work
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is manifested by a combination of symptoms that interfere with the ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Such a disabling episode of depression (lasting two weeks or more) may occur once or several times in one’s lifetime. Dysthymic Disorder is a less severe type of depression, but is long-term and chronic. This type of depression is not disabling, but will keep one from functioning well and feeling good. I will incorporate mindfulness techniques, narrative therapy, and other therapy approaches designed specifically for you.

Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NYU Langone Health, and Weill Cornell Medicine anchor an extensive academic mental health infrastructure, supplemented by thousands of independent practitioners across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. New York's therapy culture is deeply embedded — many residents maintain years-long therapeutic relationships and consider finding the right therapist one of the more important decisions they make.
