Depression
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Depression that develops during or after a narcissistic relationship has a different texture than clinical depression. It often looks like exhaustion so deep that sleep doesn't fix it. It looks like the inability to make decisions, because you've had your judgment undermined for so long that you no longer trust yourself. It looks like grief for the relationship you thought you had, for the years you can't get back, and for the version of yourself that existed before. Many mothers I work with have been told by previous therapists that they're depressed and given generic coping strategies — but no one addressed the source. I specialize in treating the depression that results from narcissistic abuse, coercive control, and relational trauma, using trauma-informed therapy designed specifically for women who have survived psychologically toxic relationships. If you are a mother navigating post-separation depression, the grief of a high-conflict divorce, or the emotional flatness that follows years of walking on eggshells, this work is designed for you.

Depression
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Depression can make everything feel incredibly heavy—even simple tasks can feel overwhelming, and things you once enjoyed might not feel the same anymore (often known as anhedonia). Dr. Jenny Shields specializes in helping driven professionals move through depression, using evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and behavioral activation. Her approach is warm, highly personalized, and grounded in what research tells us really works. Dr. Shields partners with you to uncover what’s keeping you stuck, helping you reconnect to your values, rebuild your energy, and ultimately rediscover joy, clarity, and motivation in your life again.

Depression
Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Depression can make even the things you love—like running—feel heavy, pointless, or exhausting. You might wake up drained before the day begins, struggle with motivation on training runs, lose interest in races or goals that once excited you, or carry a quiet sense that nothing matters as much anymore. Whether it’s persistent low mood, fatigue that rest doesn’t fix, feelings of worthlessness, or the “why bother?” spiral that hits after setbacks like injury or DNFs, depression steals energy, joy, and forward momentum.
In our sessions, we work together to understand what’s contributing to your depression and gently rebuild a sense of purpose and possibility. Using CBT to shift unhelpful thought patterns, ACT to reconnect with your values, DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and movement-informed strategies (including how running and exercise can support brain health and mood), we create practical tools that fit your life as an athlete.
Many clients notice meaningful changes such as:
Increased energy and motivation to get back out on the trails.
A kinder inner voice that celebrates small wins instead of criticizing.
Better ability to manage low days without spiraling.
Renewed sense of meaning, self-worth, and direction in both running and daily life.
Improved consistency with self-care, training, and the things that matter most.
I also share helpful resources like the Self-Care Assessment and tools for building healthy routines that we can personalize together.
You don’t have to stay stuck in the fog. Depression is treatable, and even small steps can lead to feeling like yourself again—stronger, more hopeful, and ready to finish stronger. If you’re ready to start moving forward, I’d be honored to walk (and run) alongside you.
