David B. Shaw, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In my psychotherapy for depression, I help you break the cycle of low energy and persistent sadness by identifying and reframing the automatic negative thoughts that weigh you down. I utilize evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and behavioral activation to support you in gradually re-engaging with rewarding activities and restoring your daily functioning. By teaching you practical coping skills, I work alongside you to build a sense of hope and increase your long-term resilience against future episodes.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad Croyle provides trauma-informed therapy for depression, persistent sadness, emotional exhaustion, burnout, low motivation, hopelessness, and difficulty finding meaning or enjoyment in life. Many high-achieving professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, caregivers, and driven individuals silently struggle with depression while continuing to meet the demands of work, family, and daily responsibilities. Despite outward success, many feel emotionally disconnected, overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to experience fulfillment the way they once did.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to depression counseling, helping clients understand and address the deeper emotional, relational, and trauma-related factors that may be contributing to depressive symptoms. Depression is often more than simply “feeling sad.” It can stem from unresolved trauma, chronic stress, perfectionism, burnout, unhealthy relationship dynamics, attachment wounds, or years of carrying emotional burdens without adequate support.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support meaningful and lasting healing. Therapy focuses on helping clients process unresolved emotional pain, reduce emotional overwhelm, improve resilience, and reconnect with a greater sense of clarity, purpose, confidence, and emotional balance.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create a tailored treatment plan based on their unique goals, lifestyle, and personal experiences. Therapy is designed to go beyond surface-level coping strategies by helping clients identify and resolve the underlying patterns that continue to fuel depression, stress, and emotional disconnection.
Many high-functioning individuals have learned to push through emotional pain while appearing successful on the outside. Over time, this can lead to chronic stress, emotional fatigue, strained relationships, loss of motivation, and difficulty feeling present or fulfilled. Brad provides a supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental environment where clients can safely explore these challenges and begin making meaningful changes that improve both emotional health and quality of life.
The goal of therapy is not only symptom relief, but helping clients restore emotional balance, strengthen relationships, improve self-awareness, and create a healthier and more fulfilling life aligned with their values and goals.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to specialized trauma-focused therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.

Nancy Burns
Counselor/Therapist, JD, LMHC, LPC, MA, EMDR Certified
Much of my work involves working with people who have experienced repeated bouts of depression. Besides the sadness, hopelessness, loneliness, and inability to experience joy that accompanies the depressed mood, they might experience periods of irritability. The goal of our work together will be to work with your negative thoughts so that you are able to experience joy again and be a full participant in the richness of life. - - - "Feelings are something you have, not something you are."

Depression is real. It comes in many forms and I have helped people heal from major depressive episodes in which loss of hope has occurred.

Depression
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I use all manner of hypothepeutic frameworks to help clients experiencing symptoms of depression and lack of inspiration, along with motivational and visualization frameworks. We uncover the root cause of your unhappiness and allow your inner child to release blocked emotions and words long held back. With it, there is a release of all the associated emotions, like shame, rage, guilt, fear, sadness and more. This frees up energy to build anew. This is when we use hypnosis to reinstall new hardware and rewire your mind for joy, love, peace, and freedom; and most importantly, a return to safety. I show you how to spend only a few minutes every morning to switch off any dread-based programming and replace it with instant motivation and inspiration.

Alexandria is a historic independent city directly south of Washington, DC, home to a large population of federal government employees, military personnel, contractors, and political professionals whose work creates a distinctive set of mental health pressures around high-stakes careers, security clearances, and the particular stress of working in proximity to political power. The city's cost of living is among the highest in the country, and financial stress sits alongside the intense professional demands of the DC metro workforce for many residents. A strong private therapy sector is well established in the Old Town, Del Ray, and Eisenhower Avenue corridors, and Alexandria residents also have access to the broader DC metro therapy market. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, and the career and identity pressures of a community defined by government and national security work.
