Depression
PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It's important that your provider asks the right questions. Often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.

Rowe Counseling Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anger, stress, anxiety, depression, all go hand-in-hand. I help individuals prevent these feelings from rising, cope with them when they do arise, and problem solve after they have recognized their feelings and their needs.

Depression
Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
Often depression results from our environment or from faulty beliefs about ourselves or the world that we learned as a child. Subconsciously those work on us in a negative way. Finding the faulty subconscious thinking and retraining ourselves can often make a significant difference in our mood.

Bloom Within You Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Lauren Graham, LCSW
Depression can affect how you see yourself, connect with others, and experience motivation, pleasure, and intimacy. You may feel emotionally disconnected, exhausted, withdrawn, or like you are simply going through the motions. For some women, depression can also contribute to changes in sexual desire, body confidence, and relationship satisfaction.
In therapy, we will explore the emotional, relational, and life experiences that may be contributing to how you are feeling while identifying practical ways to improve coping, connection, and overall wellbeing. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and individualized, with the goal of helping you reconnect with yourself, strengthen your sense of identity, and gradually create more space for meaning, pleasure, and fulfillment in your life.

Depression: Navigating the Deep Stillness
From Systemic Shutdown to Vitality
Depression is often described as "sadness," but for many, it feels more like a shut down—a heavy, gray fog that disconnects you from your vitality, your relationships, and your sense of self. It is a state of chronic burnout where the nervous system has opted for "freeze" because "fight or flight" no longer feels possible. In my practice, we approach depression with radical curiosity, looking for the light that still exists beneath the weight.
Understanding the Layers of the "Fog"
Depression is rarely a solo traveler; it is influenced by the systems we live in and the attachments we hold. We explore:
The Weight of the Mask: Addressing the exhaustion of "performing" wellness while feeling a profound internal overwhelm.
Systemic Despair: Using Systems Theory to acknowledge how social inequities, power imbalances, and environmental stressors contribute to a sense of hopelessness.
The Attachment Gap: Identifying the "emotional isolation" that often fuels depressive cycles, even when you are surrounded by people.
A Multidimensional Path to Recovery
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching modalities to help you gently re-engage with life:
EMDR for the "Core Beliefs": We use EMDR to target the "stuck" memories and negative self-narratives—like "I am a burden" or "It will never get better"—that keep the depressive cycle in motion.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "depressed part" of your system. Often, this part is trying to protect you from further pain by keeping you small and still. We work to build safety so this part can finally rest.
Nutrition-Informed Therapy: We look at the "gut-brain axis" and how physical nourishment and lifestyle rhythms impact your neurochemistry and mood.
Holding the Hope Until You Can
Whether you are experiencing a "situational dip" due to a life transition or have struggled with a "persistent low" for years, I provide a courageous space to do the heavy lifting. My goal is not just the absence of symptoms, but the presence of connection, agency, and joy.
