Depression
Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
Depression isn’t just sadness, it can feel like being cut off from your own vitality, moving through life under a heavy fog, or feeling numb and unseen. In my work with depression, I blend somatic therapy, creative exploration, and depth-oriented conversation to help you reconnect to your body’s wisdom and spark. I create a safe, grounded space where you can honor your pain, unravel shame, and discover the strength and insight hidden within even the darkest seasons. Healing from depression isn’t about forcing positivity, it’s about learning to trust your own rhythms and slowly coming back to yourself, one breath at a time.

Depression
Wayne Ayers
Psychologist, PhD
When people are depressed they often have over focused on a few key details of their life and have forgotten about the larger picture of who they are. Often the very act of trying to understand "what is wrong with me" maintains the depressive thinking, keeping the negative hamster wheel going. We will bring cognitive skills and mindfulness interventions to work on your mood and thinking. We will take a holistic approach to understanding what function the depression plays in your life and what is being overlooked that keeps the depression in place. Through patience and compassion we will reach an understand ing of what causes and maintains the depressive mood.

Depression
Diane Vaillancourt
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A., psychotherapist, Life Coach
The majority of people will go through a depression at least once through the course of their life and more. Sometime life seems to bring us so much at one time that one no longer can cope in a healthy way. It is when someone turns to addictive behavior: alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling and other. I can only hope that therapy will be the choice of learning healthy coping mechanisms and figuring out the source of the depression.

Rochester's identity has been shaped by the legacy of companies like Kodak and Xerox — their rise defining the city's mid-20th-century prosperity and their decline leaving a post-industrial community grappling with poverty, population loss, and the psychological challenges of navigating a city in long-term contraction. The University of Rochester Medical Center provides a major institutional mental health anchor — including one of the country's leading psychiatry departments — alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Brighton, Pittsford, and the Park Avenue neighborhood. Rochester's large Black and Latino communities, concentrated in the city's urban core, experience significant mental health inequities, and culturally affirming therapists are an important but undersupplied part of the local landscape. Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester contribute academic energy to a city that holds significant intellectual capital despite its economic challenges.
