Corey Connelly
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LCAS LCMHC
Depression and hopelessness are challenging thought cycles to break. Through cognitive behavior therapy, negative thought cycles can be challenged and motivation can be built. I can assist you with challenging these thoughts and creating goals that feel meaningful again.

Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Depression can feel like walking through mud—everything takes more effort, joy feels out of reach, and even small tasks can seem overwhelming. Whether you're feeling numb, hopeless, exhausted, or just not like yourself, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to go through it without support.
With nearly 20 years of experience as a licensed psychologist, I help people navigate depression using evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based strategies, along with Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, and compassion-focused therapy. We’ll work together to gently uncover what’s underneath the heaviness, and find ways to reconnect you with purpose, meaning, and a sense of possibility.
You don’t have to pretend you’re fine here. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where your experience is honored, your story matters, and even small wins are worth celebrating. And yes, we might even find a few moments to laugh—because even in dark times, light still gets in.
If you're tired of feeling stuck, let’s talk. There’s a way forward, and I’d be honored to help you find it.

Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I help individuals meet depression with understanding rather than isolation, relieve distress, and rebuild a more livable rhythm. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we study what is happening above and beneath the surface and turn that clarity into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less heaviness, more energy and choice, and the capacity to reengage with what matters.

Susanne R Mealer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression can have many levels/degrees and some people actually don't even realize that they are suffering from depressive symptoms, especially if they have been going on for a while. Depression can be very serious and should not be brushed off. Medication alone is not the answer.

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.

Brittany Washington
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFTA
I specialize in supporting individuals who are struggling with depression by providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore the underlying causes of their feelings. Drawing from evidence-based therapies like compassion-focused and solution-focused brief therapy, I help clients identify negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and regain a sense of hope and motivation. Whether depression is linked to chronic illness, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to empower clients to rediscover their inner strength, improve their emotional well-being, and foster a more fulfilling life.

Paulina Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
Depression can feel heavy, quiet, and isolating, like moving through the world without enough support. Therapy offers a place where you don’t have to hold that weight alone. I work with care and patience, creating a container where numbness, grief, or exhaustion can be met gently, while also supporting small, steady movements toward connection, energy, and relief.

Matt Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LMHC
I have a lot of experience working with clients who struggle with depression. Actually, going through my own severe depression as a young adult and working through it in therapy is one of the main reasons I ended up in this field. The approaches I teach for depression have helped countless clients over the years, and I know they work because they helped pull me out of my own dark period.

Lynette Cisneros

Depression presents in many forms be it situational, seasonal, persistent or major. We will work to identify the triggers, reframe any faulty thinking that may be keeping you stuck and establish boundaries where necessary to limit the intensity of your symptoms. We will work to build up coping skills you are able to engage in most regularly at this time. If necessary we will thoughtfully process a combined approach of seeking out medication management.

You don't have to deal with depression alone. My role is to help you understand what you are experiencing and find your inner strengths to cope with your symptoms and return to normal functioning.

Charlotte's position as a major banking and financial hub drives strong demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, perfectionism, and the particular pressures of corporate and executive careers. The city has grown rapidly through domestic migration, and therapists frequently work with the isolation, loneliness, and adjustment difficulties common among newcomers building community in a fast-growing city. Charlotte also has a strong faith community, and many therapists offer faith-integrated approaches alongside evidence-based treatment for clients who value that alignment. Atrium Health and Novant Health serve as the city's major institutional mental health anchors.
