Portsmouth, Virginia therapist: Alabaster Counseling, licensed professional counselor
Depression

Alabaster Counseling

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Depression can make even the simplest parts of the day feel heavy, distant, and out of reach, and for many girls and women, it can be easy to dismiss those feelings or push them aside for the sake of everyone else. At Alabaster Counseling, we specialize in helping girls and women of all ages recognize and work through depression in a space that is warm, judgment-free, and entirely their own. Using evidence-based therapy, we help you understand the roots of what you are feeling, gently challenge the thoughts that are keeping you stuck, and rebuild a sense of joy, motivation, and connection to the life you deserve. You do not have to keep going through this alone, and you do not have to settle for just getting by.

Washington, Washington, D.C. therapist: Kelsey Ellis, psychologist
Depression

Kelsey Ellis

Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Depression can show up as more than sadness. It may feel like heaviness, disconnection, loss of motivation, or a quiet sense of moving through life on autopilot. Many women I work with continue to meet responsibilities even while feeling emotionally depleted inside. Therapy offers space to explore the deeper context surrounding these experiences and to reconnect with parts of yourself that may feel distant or muted. Together, we work toward restoring a greater sense of engagement, meaning, and internal support.

Virginia Beach, Virginia therapist: Mae Winters, licensed professional counselor
Depression

Mae Winters

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Depression can feel heavy, isolating, and draining, often affecting motivation, energy, mood, and one’s sense of hope or purpose. For many people, it shows up quietly—through emotional numbness, withdrawal, self-criticism, or feeling stuck—rather than obvious sadness. These experiences can make even simple daily tasks feel overwhelming and can strain relationships and self-confidence. I work with adults experiencing depression to help them understand the emotional, cognitive, and relational factors contributing to their symptoms. Therapy focuses on increasing insight, rebuilding emotional connection, and developing practical strategies to improve mood, functioning, and self-compassion. Using evidence-based, depression-informed approaches, we work at a pace that respects each client’s capacity while supporting gradual, meaningful change. The goal of therapy is to help clients feel less weighed down by depression, more connected to themselves and others, and better equipped to move forward with clarity and resilience.

Chesapeake, Virginia therapist: Michelle Juarez (Reflections Counseling Services), licensed professional counselor
Depression

Michelle Juarez (Reflections Counseling Services)

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Depression related to reproductive trauma can feel overwhelming, isolating, and deeply personal. Experiences such as infertility, pregnancy loss, traumatic birth, or complicated pregnancies often impact mood, identity, and the nervous system in ways that are not always understood by others. In my work, I provide highly personalized, trauma-informed therapy that integrates emotional and somatic support to help clients process loss, regulate emotions, and reconnect with themselves. Therapy offers a compassionate space to heal at your own pace and begin restoring hope and resilience.
