Depression
Michael Pollet
Pre-Licensed Professional, SW
Our work starts by acknowledging the social, cultural, and environmental conditions that may contribute to the problems that affect your quality of life and capacity to receive or engage in mental health care. Therapy is tailored to your preferences to minimize stressors and build skills for interacting more effectively with the outside world. The behaviors, emotions, relationship patterns, or self-beliefs that no longer work for you can be transformed, rather than pathologized by identifying external power imbalances that impede quality of life and highlighting the good intentions behind difficult interactions.

Depression
Lesley Lacny
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A, Psych.R, C.Psych, LPC
Depression can feel like persistent sadness, low motivation, emotional numbness, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and your life. It may impact your energy, relationships, sleep, and ability to feel enjoyment or hope.
I provide therapy for depression to help you explore both the emotional and physiological patterns that contribute to how you’re feeling. Together, we’ll look beneath the surface to understand what’s been building over time, including thoughts, experiences, and nervous system responses that may be keeping you stuck.
The focus is on supporting you in reconnecting with yourself, improving emotional regulation, and gradually rebuilding a sense of meaning, energy, and engagement in your life.

Depression
Evolving Self Intergral Counseling LLC, Palma Corral Sotelo
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, MA, NCC
In my view depression is a period where life may have lost its meaning, or where you might feel "too much or not enough". These challenging experiences are not just an obstacles, but are the "fertile soil" necessary to grow the depth and character of your being.
Working through depression involves:
*
Untangling the Internal and External: Helping you differentiate between your external life situations and your internal experiences to find a path forward.
*
Healing Through Connection: Recognizing that healing happens in connection with others as well as yourself, I offer a relational and heart-centered presence to help you move out of isolation and loneliness.
*
Deciphering Emotional Messages: Instead of viewing low mood as something to be ignored, we will work together to build a relationship with your emotions and learn to decipher the messages they are bringing from within.
*
Relational and Expressive Work: You can address heavy feelings and "luggage from the past" using your preferred channels, such as narrative exploration, visualization, writing, or movement, to help transform or let go of what no longer serves you.
*
Reconnecting with Values: The goal is to help you recognize your inner wisdom and identify your core values so you can regain trust in yourself and your power to evolve.

Depression
Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression can affect far more than mood alone. Many people experiencing depression feel emotionally numb, disconnected, unmotivated, hopeless, exhausted, self-critical, or increasingly withdrawn from relationships and daily life. Others continue functioning outwardly while internally struggling with emptiness, discouragement, shame, or a persistent sense that something is missing.
I provide therapy for individuals experiencing depression with an approach that is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based treatment. Together, we work to better understand the emotional, relational, behavioral, and life circumstances contributing to depressive symptoms while developing healthier coping strategies, greater emotional insight, and a renewed sense of meaning, connection, and psychological wellbeing.

Depression
Luke Colbourn
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
We don't normally think of depression and stress going together, but they can. Depression can be seen as a nervous system pushed past anxiety, shutting down because there is no escape from bad, unwanted, terrible things. These can be real things in your environment, or even thoughts or feelings. Feeling apathetic, uninterested in what used to be fun, and tired all make sense from this perspective- and it is possible to retrain the nervous system to come back from this hopeless place.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CADC I
I support clients experiencing depression, including low mood, loss of motivation, and self-critical thought patterns. Therapy focuses on gently increasing engagement, shifting unhelpful beliefs, and rebuilding connection to meaning and daily structure. The goal is not pressure or productivity, but sustainable relief and stabilization.

Portland has a strong therapy culture deeply intertwined with its progressive values, with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, trauma, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city's visible homelessness crisis and political tensions have contributed to significant community-level anxiety, and therapists here frequently address activist burnout, moral injury, and eco-anxiety alongside more traditional presenting concerns. Oregon Health & Science University provides major institutional mental health resources, complemented by a dense network of independent practitioners across the inner eastside, Hawthorne, and Northwest Portland. Oregon's relatively permissive telehealth laws make it particularly easy to access care from across the state.
