Depression
Catherine Saunders

I view depression as a curable illness and I know that it can help to be in relationship with a person who has your best interest first on the list. I hope to help you find your recovery, and to know that you are not alone during the process and struggle.

Depression
Lee Scher
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Depression is a little like being an overloaded circuit, when life becomes too painful or too much, we go numb. This numbness will pass in time. Gentleness, self-acceptance and the willingness to sit with uncomfortable feelings are all helpful in healing from depression.

Depression
Michael Pollet
Registered Social Worker, CSWA
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
Wyatt Okeefe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LPCC
I help clients navigate depression and the ways it can affect mood, motivation, relationships, self-esteem, and daily functioning. Treatment may address persistent sadness, loss of interest, low energy, negative thinking, feelings of hopelessness, and difficulty managing everyday responsibilities. Together, we work to understand contributing factors, develop effective coping strategies, and restore a greater sense of connection, purpose, and well-being.

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.

Feeling low or depressed is really debilitating. Together we identify what's coming up for you and how to address it moving forward. I have additional training in adult ADHD and the unique challenges it poses relating to depression. Additionally, I have advanced training in women's health (specifically PMS, PMDD, perimenopause, menopause, perinatal & postpartum) and nutritional mental health. I am passionate about supporting women at all stages of life, in addition to partnerships and families.

Depression
Marcy Irene Jenks
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, RN, NCC, LPC, LMHC
Finding a supportive space to feel and express pain, sadness, and despair, as well as explore experiences of hopelessness, lack of energy, and apathy is important when addressing issues of depression. I believe we can create a safe container to examine these and other symptoms of depression, compassionately holding space for and moving through debilitating experiences into places of joy, peace, and fulfillment.

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.
