Depression
Becky Short Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC/MHSP, NCC
Depression can feel all-consuming, making it hard to experience other emotions. It can also distort the way you perceive your circumstances, convincing you that how you feel reflects the truth. The good news is that depression can improve with targeted, consistent therapy that addresses both its symptoms and underlying causes. If you are struggling with depression, seeking professional support as soon as possible can make a meaningful difference.

Depression
Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
I know depression. I know its pain. I know the feeling of desperation and feeling totally disempowered and frightened that often comes with depression.
I became a clinical psychologist precisely because I wanted to learn how to help people who suffer with depression as I have in the past. It is black and it is lonely. But it does not have to be allowed to take over your life. You CAN take your life back by taking your mood back. I can show you how to begin to do it.
People too frequently say "I am depressed" when what they really mean is "I feel sad". "Depression" is a clinical disorder, and it is only appropriate to say someone is "depressed" if they meet all the criteria for depression.
Assessments of depression will measure the clinical symptoms of depression but what does it FEEL like on a daily basis? When you feel depressed, you are not thinking about the clinical symptoms, you are thinking and feeling more along the lines of just being "stuck".
In fact the experience of depression is feeling "stuck in present pain." The pain is NOW, the feeling of not being able to get out of it is NOW, and the stuck "I can't get out of this" feeling produces discouragement, frustration, sadness, very negative views of ourselves, and hopelessness--all emotions that seem to cause us to sink a little deeper every day.
I can help you get unstuck--contact me and let's begin to work to get you feeling more empowered, unstuck, moving forward again, and happier.

Depression
Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel exhausting. You may feel numb, hopeless, disconnected, or stuck in a cycle you can't seem to break. Whether you're experiencing persistent sadness, lack of motivation, or just don’t feel like yourself anymore, you're not alone—and there is a way forward. I provide a compassionate, supportive space to explore the roots of your depression, challenge negative thought patterns, and help you reconnect with meaning, motivation, and hope. Healing is possible, and it starts with not having to face it alone.
15 Years Experience
Online in Memphis, TN Tennessee
Memphis has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime in the United States, and its therapists frequently specialize in trauma, PTSD, and the psychological effects of chronic community-level violence and economic stress. The city's African American community — which comprises a majority of the population and carries a rich cultural heritage rooted in blues, soul, and civil rights history — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. Regional One Health and Baptist Memorial Health Care provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of community clinics. Memphis's deep musical identity sustains a creative community with its own distinctive mental health needs around artistic expression, economic precarity, and the weight of legacy.
