Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
Depression is not only a by-product of what is going on or is not going on in someone's life, but can also become chemical in nature. Anxiety and depression go hand-in-hand. I have worked with many clients experiencing symptoms associated with Depression. Efforts to create lifestyle changes are made as well as to increase the "doses" of access to healthy self-care routines, including more time with preferred persons, as appropriate, activities, & events, while simultaneously lessening demands and avoiding other triggers often involved in treating depression as well as preventing it. Simple lifestyle changes, when employed consistently, overtime, can also help improve emotional states, moods, and lead to an overall healthier outlook on life. Enhancing states of mind, "mindsets", and ways of looking at the world and others can be achieved in many ways, including the inclusion of spiritual advisors and God.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Depression can feel like a dense, dark, and heavy blanket that weighs us down, sucks the joy out of life, impairs concentration and focus, leads us to question why we are living and if the hardship is worth it, makes us feel stuck, and confuses our brains into believing that we are worthless and that the negative feelings will last forever. Therapy can be essential in reducing symptoms, shifting the "stories" we tell ourselves about ourselves, more effectively coping with loss and upset, learning self-care, managing and healing from trauma, and shifting perspective so that we can feel better and develop lasting changes.

Sanela Solak
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Depression can feel incredibly painful and isolating. It may move between numbness and deep pain, and it can feel as though it will last forever. If you are experiencing depression, please know that it is not your fault, and that there is a way through. Many factors can come together to create this state, and with the right support, relief is possible. Over time, it is possible to reconnect with meaning, vitality, and joy.
My first intention is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up as yourself, to the extent that feels right for you. I will attune to your needs, and together we will move at a pace that feels supportive and manageable. Given the right space and conditions, the innate intelligence of your system can begin to reveal what is needed for healing.

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.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Therapy and medication are shown to have the greatest results in overcoming depression. Many times a period of sadness or feeling depressed are more about the circumstances a person finds themself in. With an eye to potential needs beyond the scope of therapy, uncovering the root of the issue and making changes to the system you find yourself in will be our focus.

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
