Cassandre Charnel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Experiencing depression can feel lonely, scary, and overwhelming. Many people often hide their depression from friends, family and peers. In addition to sad mood, crying spells, periodic feelings of hopelessness, and numbness, people often notice a loss of interest in things they once enjoyed. This can lead those struggling with depression, to withdraw and isolate from others: even from those they love the most. Since everyone deals with depression differently, I provide tailored treatment modalities to address the root causes and underlying thought patterns surrounding depression based on individual need, experiences and severity. If you are reading this blurb, it means you have not given up on yourself. I am here to assist you in finding the person within worth fighting for.

Cynthia A. Criss
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LPCC, CSAT
Depression and addiction often go hand in hand, creating a complex cycle that's challenging to break. Here are some key points to consider if you're addressing this topic for your website or audience:
The Connection Between Depression and Addiction:
Self-Medication: People with depression may turn to substances (alcohol, drugs, etc.) to cope with feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiety. Biological and Environmental Factors: Both conditions can stem from genetic predispositions, traumatic experiences, or chronic stress. Cycle of Worsening Symptoms: Addiction can intensify depressive symptoms, creating a vicious cycle that makes recovery more challenging.
How My Counseling Service Can Help:
Offer compassionate, tailored approaches to treat co-occurring disorders.
Provide a safe space for clients to explore their emotions and challenges.
Collaborate with other professionals, such as psychiatrists, to ensure holistic care.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

Dayton is an Ohio city with a distinctive dual identity as both a struggling post-industrial community and a city defined by innovation—the birthplace of aviation and home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, one of the largest and most important USAF installations in the country—and this tension between decline and purpose shapes its mental health landscape in complex ways. The city was among the hardest hit by the opioid and fentanyl epidemic in the late 2010s, becoming a nationally recognized epicenter for drug-related deaths that prompted significant community response and transformed how local mental health services approach addiction and recovery. The University of Dayton and Wright State University bring student populations and academic resources, while Kettering Health and Premier Health provide behavioral health services to the broader community. Common therapy concerns include addiction and recovery, trauma (both opioid-related community grief and military trauma from the WPAFB population), anxiety, depression, and the economic stress of a city working to rebuild its identity after decades of industrial decline.
