Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Depression can feel like emptiness, exhaustion, disconnection, or going through the motions of a life that looks fine from the outside but no longer feels meaningful from within. You may struggle to find motivation or pleasure, withdraw from people you care about, or criticize yourself for not being able to feel or function the way you think you should. I help clients explore the experiences, emotional patterns, and circumstances contributing to their depression while developing practical ways to restore engagement and connection. Our work goes beyond trying to push through or counteract difficult feelings; together, we explore what may be keeping you feeling stuck and work toward a renewed sense of vitality, meaning, and participation in your own life.

Denise Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW-C
I'm a strengths-based therapist so I have many clients who in for depression. When working with a depressed client, it's not only important to understand what the client states has caused the depression (if they know), but also to address the type and length of the client's depression, whether it's happened before, and what the client's ability has been to tolerate it. It brings me great joy to see EMDR help someone who comes in not wanting to get out of bed begin realizing, or restoring, a satisfying life for themselves.

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.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am passionate about working with anyone who has experienced depression or anxiety and who wants to take a deeper look at how these painful thoughts and feelings developed, and how they shape their daily lives. I strive to give my patients a myriad of coping skills and therapeutic tools that will allow them to deftly navigate the world’s everyday stressors, and ask them to look introspectively at their own expectations and biases as together we resist heteronormative patriachal structures.

Dr. Kristyn Neckles
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Depression does not always look like falling apart. You may still be working, achieving, caring for others, and meeting expectations while privately feeling exhausted, disconnected, unmotivated, or unlike yourself. Sometimes, functioning well on the outside can make it harder to recognize just how much you are carrying.
I help adults understand what may be contributing to these shifts and develop practical ways to move forward. Using evidence based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness, we explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and expectations of yourself.
Therapy is not about forcing positivity or simply pushing through. Together, we create space for greater self awareness, healthier coping, meaningful change, and reconnection with the parts of life that matter to you. You can be capable and still need support.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Depression can feel disconnecting – to our sense of self (our emotions, our sense of purpose/meaning), and to others in our life. I work with clients to explore and gain insight into what might be causing and/or sustaining their depression, and work towards connecting again with the parts of themselves that don't feel accessible, as well as connecting again with those who care about them.

Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
Depression--particularly anxious depression--can feel so hopeless and crazy-making. In many instances, depression results from the protective mechanisms failing to work for us, like they used to. This work invites you to come forward in the spirit of 100% honesty, awareness, and openness to engage the healthier aspects of your will and arrive at acceptance of a fuller range of your emotional self-expression. When we are in a better, more authentic relationship with ourselves, we free up a lot of inadvertently squandered or eddying energy in order to reengage with our goals once again.

Douglas LaBier, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression has many sources which are important to clarify and illuminate, in order to heal and grow. Much depression in our culture reflects a stifled sense of the "self" you are inside; a product of your life decisions and values that chip away at your sense of wellbeing and possibility. Ironically, for some, depression enables awakening to what you're struggling to let go of or change in your life, your relationship or your work.
