Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals experiencing depression in its many forms, from persistent low mood and loss of motivation to more complex, longstanding patterns of disconnection and hopelessness. Depression often impacts not just how someone feels, but how they see themselves, their relationships, and their future.
My approach is both compassionate and active. I focus on understanding the underlying emotional and relational patterns that contribute to depression, while also helping clients re-engage with their lives in meaningful, manageable ways. Together, we work to identify what may be keeping them stuck, build greater emotional awareness, and gradually restore a sense of agency, connection, and vitality.
I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without being overwhelmed, and supported without being pushed too quickly—allowing change to unfold in a way that is both sustainable and deeply felt.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Are you a high-functioning, self-reliant woman who cycles through periods of emotional pain that you keep hidden from others? Perfectly hidden depression is a term for appearing successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing severe emotional pain. Coined by psychologist Dr. Margaret Rutherford, perfectly hidden depression hides behind anxious perfectionism that is trying to compensate for unhealed shame and a fear of emotional vulnerability. I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I approach depression initially by exploring your life circumstances and/or the thoughts going through your head that are trigging your mood. There are times when we may want to look at the old tape recordings playing through your head triggering depression. Once I have an idea of what is fueling your depression then we can target that. I teach your how to use thought strategies and behavior strategies to reduce depression and improve your mood. My goal is to teach you several tools so that in any given situation, you have a tool to use.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you're feeling exhausted, discouraged, down, and sluggish, adding something else to the list of things to do is likely the last thing that you'd want. Even if it is "supposed to be helpful", finding a the right therapist and starting the process of therapy can be overwhelming. I work to reduce that barrier as much as possible by using EMDR and Internal Family Systems to help you feel like yourself and to build the skills and strengths to buffer you against depression in the future. In working together you can expect a high level of collaboration, dedication to your success, and an abundance of metaphors. Reach out for a free consultation and lets see how we can move forward together.
