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
Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Depression isn’t just sadness—it can feel like a fog that dulls your motivation, isolates you from others, and makes even simple tasks feel insurmountable. Whether you're experiencing persistent low mood, burnout, or a loss of purpose, I offer a structured, evidence-based approach to help you reconnect with meaning and momentum.
My treatment integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation, and Schema Therapy to address both the symptoms and the underlying patterns that sustain depression. We’ll explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and core beliefs interact—and develop practical strategies to restore energy, engagement, and emotional clarity. For clients navigating complex transitions or existential concerns, I also incorporate Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and values-based decision tools.
Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a high-functioning exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that supports both immediate relief and long-term resilience.

Depression
Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with depression, I offer a supportive space to explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be contributing to feelings of heaviness, disconnection, or loss of motivation. Together we work with both insight and mind–body awareness to gently reconnect you with your inner resources, helping restore a sense of meaning, energy, and engagement with life.

Depression
Allyse Teltser
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression can feel heavy and isolating—low motivation, persistent sadness, irritability, numbness, or a loss of interest in things that once mattered. Even simple tasks can feel overwhelming, and it can be hard to explain to others what you’re carrying. I work with preteens, teens, adults, and families to understand the roots of depression and create a path forward that feels realistic and supportive.
My approach combines practical skill-building with deeper healing. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies, I help you increase emotional regulation, re-engage with meaningful activities, and challenge hopeless or self-critical thought patterns. When depression is connected to unresolved trauma or painful past experiences, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process those memories and reduce their impact.

Depression
Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
When families are in addictive situations with someone they love, they are generally feeling depressed and helpless. And when an addict thinks about letting go of an addictive behaviour, they feel depressed and hopeless. This is all addressed in the therapy with Love With Boundaries Addiction Family Counselling.
