Depression
Ashton Burdick
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, NCC, LCMHC
Depression makes it hard to do every day things like getting out of the bed, putting on makeup, & going to work or class. Progress towards long term goals can feel impossible. Feeling down, and not knowing how to change it can get in the way of building the life you want. Together we can practice skills that can help you break the cycle of depression, improve your mood, question negative thoughts and self talk, and create the life you want. I enjoy helping women in their 20-40s & animal care professionals learn skills to manage depression & creating the life they want.

Depression: Navigating the Deep Stillness
From Systemic Shutdown to Vitality
Depression is often described as "sadness," but for many, it feels more like a shut down—a heavy, gray fog that disconnects you from your vitality, your relationships, and your sense of self. It is a state of chronic burnout where the nervous system has opted for "freeze" because "fight or flight" no longer feels possible. In my practice, we approach depression with radical curiosity, looking for the light that still exists beneath the weight.
Understanding the Layers of the "Fog"
Depression is rarely a solo traveler; it is influenced by the systems we live in and the attachments we hold. We explore:
The Weight of the Mask: Addressing the exhaustion of "performing" wellness while feeling a profound internal overwhelm.
Systemic Despair: Using Systems Theory to acknowledge how social inequities, power imbalances, and environmental stressors contribute to a sense of hopelessness.
The Attachment Gap: Identifying the "emotional isolation" that often fuels depressive cycles, even when you are surrounded by people.
A Multidimensional Path to Recovery
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching modalities to help you gently re-engage with life:
EMDR for the "Core Beliefs": We use EMDR to target the "stuck" memories and negative self-narratives—like "I am a burden" or "It will never get better"—that keep the depressive cycle in motion.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "depressed part" of your system. Often, this part is trying to protect you from further pain by keeping you small and still. We work to build safety so this part can finally rest.
Nutrition-Informed Therapy: We look at the "gut-brain axis" and how physical nourishment and lifestyle rhythms impact your neurochemistry and mood.
Holding the Hope Until You Can
Whether you are experiencing a "situational dip" due to a life transition or have struggled with a "persistent low" for years, I provide a courageous space to do the heavy lifting. My goal is not just the absence of symptoms, but the presence of connection, agency, and joy.

Depression
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Depression is often described as sadness, but for many people, it feels more like disconnection—low energy, numbness, irritability, lack of motivation, or just moving through the day on autopilot. Things that used to feel manageable can start to feel heavy or pointless. And in a culture that pushes productivity and “pushing through,” depression is often misunderstood or minimized, especially when you’re still showing up on the outside. For many, there are also deeper layers—burnout, grief, chronic stress, identity struggles, or the impact of living in systems that feel depleting or invalidating.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t reduce depression to a checklist of symptoms. We work with you to understand how it’s showing up in your life and what’s contributing to it—emotionally, relationally, and contextually. From there, we take an active approach to building momentum in ways that are realistic and sustainable. This might include small, structured shifts in daily routines, reconnecting with parts of your life that feel meaningful, addressing thought patterns, and creating support systems that actually work for you. We also make space for the cultural and systemic factors shaping your experience, so you’re not carrying that weight alone. This is about helping you feel more connected, more supported, and gradually more like yourself again.
