Bonfire Healing - Bonnie Deopp, MS, LMHC, CN
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CN, EMDR certified, Clinical Supervisor
Welcome, We're so glad you’re here! Bonfire Healing provides outpatient telehealth therapy with focus on complex mental health issues and developmental trauma along with co-occurring depression and mood disorders. Our mission is to promote health equity through increasing access to evidence-based trauma treatment while utilizing insurance benefits so that care is both high quality and affordable to more people. We honor that there is a strong correlation between trauma and the development of depression, particularly as it relates to self worth and freeze/collapse functions of the autonomic nervous system. We take a relational approach and we are in this together. We combine evidenced based modalities to heal these impacts on your nervous system and bring back regulation that decreases depression symptoms and improve mood regulation.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I work with mood disorders of all types to help folks tease out what is symptom, what is sign of overwhelm and what is external to them. Interventions might include working on activation, healthy and adaptive self-care, relational issues such as limit setting and boundaries and work-life balance as well as parts that might be informed by past trauma. Liaising and coordinating with medical and other professionals that are involved in treatment is considered important here as well.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You may notice yourself feeling more sad and tearful than usual. Or, perhaps you feel numb and indifferent. Maybe you’re tired all the time, it’s difficult to enjoy things you used to, or completing everyday tasks feels insurmountable. Depression can look a little different for each person but one thing is probably clear: you want to feel better. Our work will involve identifying attainable steps toward revitalization so that you can begin tackling current challenges with a sense of direction and clarity. And perhaps more importantly, so that you can get in touch with the parts of your life that make it all worthwhile.

Dr. Millie C. Astin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression can be disruptive to your life. Feeling down, not finding joy in the things you use to, overwhelming fatigue, not wanting to get out of bed, not sleeping (or sleeping too much) takes a toll. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression, I will help you fight the depression by identifying behaviors that increase (or decrease) depression and will teach you how to identify and modify thinking patterns that lead to and maintain depression.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
We approach depression as a complex, multifaceted experience that cannot be reduced to a single cause or treated with a one-size-fits-all method. Each person’s depression is shaped by a unique interplay of biological, psychological, relational, and environmental factors, and we tailor our work accordingly. Our approach is integrative and draws from several evidence-based therapeutic orientations. From Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be maintaining depressive symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) informs our focus on helping clients develop psychological flexibility, build a different relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings, and reconnect with what matters most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for managing intense emotions, increasing distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Schema Therapy allows us to explore and work through deeper, longstanding patterns rooted in early life experiences that often underlie chronic or recurring depression. Rather than applying these approaches rigidly, we integrate them in a way that fits each individual’s needs, goals, and values. Our aim is not only to reduce symptoms, but to support clients in building a more meaningful, resilient, and self-compassionate way of living.
