Depression
Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems perspective, depression is often understood as protective parts that create shutdown, numbness, or withdrawal to shield the system from overwhelming emotional pain. These parts may be guarding more vulnerable exiled parts that carry feelings such as shame, grief, or worthlessness. Therapy focuses on helping clients access Self to compassionately connect with these parts, allowing protective roles to soften and facilitating healing of the underlying emotional wounds.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
People think depression is all about crying and feeling bad for yourself, but you know better. You know that it feels like wearing a lead blanket, all the time. It feels like life is in black and white. It feels like losing your "wanting", like there's nothing worth wanting left. Your depression tells you this is forever, that life has always been like this and it always will be like this.
Stop right there, depression! Your brain is lying to you, and you know it! That's why you're looking into therapy. You're right, there is hope. You're right, life isn't always like this. Let's get working to help lift this fog and bring you out of the misery and back into the present moment.

Online in Virginia Beach, VA Virginia
Virginia Beach and the surrounding Hampton Roads metro area have one of the highest concentrations of active-duty military personnel and veterans in the country, anchored by Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — creating sustained demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, and the dynamics of military family life. Therapists experienced with moral injury, deployment-related adjustment, and service-to-civilian transition are well represented, and many practices specifically orient their care toward service members and their families. Sentara Healthcare and Bon Secours provide institutional mental health resources for the region, complemented by a growing private practice community. Virginia Beach's coastal environment and strong community ties give the city a relatively stable baseline, though the psychological weight of military life remains a defining feature of the local therapy landscape.
