Varsha Ruparel

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, LPC, NCC

Depression tends to effect us in many different ways. Sometimes it looks like irritability, or sadness, being more emotional than usual, thoughts of hurting ourselves, and/or not feeling motivated to achieve our goals. I focus on thought distortions, living in the moment and schema therapy to help my clients manage these symptoms.

Michael Ianello (he/him/his)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

How do you experience your depression? What impact does it have on your life? Everyone gets down sometimes but what do we do when we feel like our melancholy is bottomless? What if your depression had a place to emerge, had a place to be seen without judgement? Would the way you experience it change? How might you change if it did? I will work with you to answer these questions and help you deepen your own understanding of how you can cultivate and sustain renewed vitality.

Simon Yugler (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

Our sadness, issues, and fears are often rooted in the unconscious, or what Jung called our 'shadow'. Depth psychology can help you navigate the turbulent waters of life by framing your life and struggles in the context of the greater web of human experience. This is often done through working with dreams, archetypes, and transformative life experiences such as initiation and rites of passage.

Kris Anne Baker (she/her/hers)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I was initially surprised when I did not see "Depression" listed in Brene Brown's book "Atlas of the Heart." Upon reflection, it seems as though this term is not quite specific enough, which makes sense. How would you name your depression? Brown's chapter "Places We Go When We're Hurting" includes anguish, hopelessness, despair, sadness, and grief. In Dialectical Behavior Therapy, there is a goal to find your "life worth living." What future can you see for yourself beyond today?

Christa Cummins (she/her)

Nani Waddoups (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

There are innumerable conditions affecting our moods at all times. Sometimes we are aware of them -- a loss, a joy, anticipation. Other times these conditions are outside of our consciousness -- the pain in the world touching our hearts, a lingering dream. Therapy helps to characterize the quality of an emotional state, and then explores our ability to affect the conditions at play.

Jenny Larson (she/her/hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Jennie Towne

You are worthy of greatness.

Casey Campbell, LPC (He/Him)

Depression and anxiety are often closely linked to feelings of shame and guilt. I engaged in deep study of these emotions while working on my masters thesis, specifically focusing on how people perceive these emotions. I have also helped many clients who are depressed understand the causes of depression, develop habits and practice techniques they can use to overcome depression.

Erik Patterson (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

Depression is both a specific diagnosis, as well as a good way to describe a mental and emotional experience. My emphasis is on helping a person get through an experience and, although I am very comfortable with working with Major Depressive Disorder and I'm familiar with medications and treatment, I might de-emphasize the diagnostic label to focus on your specific situation.

Emalee Assenberg, MS, NCC

Michaele Dunlap PsyD (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist

Depression can be chronic, rooted in painful early experience and/or situational, reactive to events that are experienced as overwhelming. Depression involves biology, behavior and expectations. Working one's way out of a depressive state requires commitment, support and action. I offer counseling to facilitate clients' growth beyond depression.

Jennifer Rocks, MA, MS, PsyD (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist

Depression symptoms can include but are not limited to: feelings of defeat, overwhelm, sadness, lack of motivation, lack of interest, heaviness, and fatigue. You may experience a feeling of disconnect from your body sensations and the ability to experience pleasure. It may be hard to get out of bed, stop crying, participate in typical daily activities or even life itself at times.

Veronica Wilson (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, MSW

Depression is very common but can feel incredibly isolating. You are not alone, and I can help you find a way out and regain a sense of connection and understanding. Working together, you can begin to re-engage with your life and start your journey to recovery.

Darin Bergen (he/him)

Clinical Psychologist

PsyD

Depression is so painful because it affects so many areas of life - often covering everything with a sense of emptiness and making normal tasks so tough. I work on helping you access the emotions underneath the numbing, so you can begin to re-engage in vital living. We also spend time healing longstanding woundings that caused the pain in the first place.

Robin Carlisle (She/her)

Professional Counselor

Depression can feel like a slippery slope, and one that is hard to get out of because it attacks your motivation and your will, rendering you in a very low vibration, a bottom state some would say, but if you are here you are capable of elevation, if you are seeking help I am here to assure you there is hope, and hypnotherapy can and has shown effective and immediate felt relief.

Lisa Headings (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, NCC, registered associate

Sometimes, depression can lead to a disconnect that makes it difficult to communicate one's feelings and needs. Engaging in creativity can act to help you unblock those feelings and act as an emotional release. Individuals who engage in creativity also can experience increased self-esteem and feelings of self-worth.

Lucas Wenker MS LPC (he/him)

My approach in working with clients with depression is to look at various spheres of influence and identifying problematic factors in the life of a client to intervene with.

LPC, Certified Jungian Analyst

I work with individuals experiencing mono-pole (not bipolar) depressions. Regardless of the genesis of one's depression, it impacts the body. Together, we work sensitively and carefully to understand your depression's feelings, patterns, and responses.

Erin Durst, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I treat depression using a combination of cognitive behavioral, dialectical, and values-based approaches. What this means is that we will look for ways to change thinking patterns and behaviors which may contribute to depression, as well as clarify values which can allow you to feel that you are living your life to its full potential.

Halley Farwood (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist

PsyD

I specialize in working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, or a combination of the two. Depression can be incredibly debilitating and painful, but it is also treatable. The techniques I use with depressed clients focus on understanding depressive thought patterns and changing the behavior cycles that of perpetuate depression.

Luke Colbourn (he/him/his)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, Professional Counselor Associate

We don't normally think of depression and stress going together, but they can. Depression can be seen as a nervous system pushed past anxiety, shutting down because there is no escape from bad, unwanted, terrible things. These can be real things in your environment, or even thoughts or feelings. Feeling apathetic, uninterested in what used to be fun, and tired all make sense from this perspective. Luckily it is possible to retrain the nervous system to come back from this hopeless place.

Terri Mishler, PsyD

Clinical Psychologist

Depression can be mild or severe, but in either case it interferes with being the person you want to be, and living the life you want to life. Therapy can enable you to get some relief from your sadness and develop a strategy to lead a more satisfying life.

Glenn Goldman, MA, LPC (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

My work with depression focuses on creating a supportive environment in which to explore ways to move forward. By becoming more aware of the thought and behavior patterns that may be leading to the symptoms of depression, it is possible to learn how to let go of these patterns and to instead move toward a more vital experience of living.

Stacey Vallas (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

MS

Everyone feels sad or hopeless at times, but when you're depressed it can feel like change and well being are impossible.

Cameron Kemper (he/him)

My expertise utilizing CBT and mindfulness approaches has also been effective with my clients experiencing mood disorders.

I also have two years of supervision with Dr. Matt McKay who has written Mind and Emotion and Thoughts and Feelings.

Gary Alexander (he/him)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

MFT, CADC III, NCC

Depression can show up in many different flavors and intensities. It can affect our sleep, our appetite, motivation, and certainly our relationships. Some types of depression makes us feel sad and hopeless, while others can feel agitating, even rageful. Regardless, depression takes over our lives and negatively impacts our functioning. Getting to the root of what's pressing down on us is key to recovering.

Graham Borgman (He/him/his)

Licensed Professional Counselor

The contributing factors to depression are as vast and varied as the individuals who carry it. Whether it is persistent and severe or infrequent and mild, depression is a psychological state that holds many within its grasp. Depression can open us to seeing difficult truths, and can also blind us from seeing others. Navigating depression with another human being, rather than alone, is crucial.

Laura Marie Separa MA LPC MFT

Feelings of depression are often taboo in our culture yet are often a natural result to loss and change. I believe there is wisdom beneath the dark times and holding ourselves with compassion serves to bring forth a deeper truth that can be transforming. Seeking to understand and allow the meaning of suffering to unfold takes courage and my personal experience of grief may act as a guide.

Jennie Hagen (She/Her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LMHC, LPC

Depression is a complex diagnosis that can have varied causes. Often, people experience depression when circumstances in their life leave them worn down, defeated, overwhelmed, or feeling powerless. Medication can be a great tool in treating the symptoms of depression, but often doesn't address the source of the issue. Counseling can fill in those gaps and help you begin to heal.

Diana Oxley, Ph.D.

I have broad experience with depression to help clients both manage symptoms such as sleeplessness, internal rumination, and guilt as well as identify and work through psychological issues that underlie it.

Pearl Waldorf

Licensed Professional Counselor

Depression is a way we protect ourselves from overwhelming experiences. If we have no functional way to regulate ourselves through life's emotional stresses and relationships' natural shifts in and out of connection, often our nervous systems will jump in, take over and shut us down. Engaging with a skilled Attachment therapist, can support reigniting the aliveness that is your human birthright.

Eric Blakeley (he/him)

Depression creates a sense of hopelessness and feelings that things might never change. It can take up all the space in the room.

Jenna Washburn (she / her)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA: Mental Health Counseling - Specialization in Addictions

Depression can look and feel a number of ways. It can be the lack of motivation to get anything done. Or the overall numbness to all or any emotions.

Guy Burstein (he/him)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

MSW, LCSW

To understand depression, I consider genetic predisposition, childhood traumas, relationships disruptions, capacity for insight and spiritual receptivity. The first step isto embrace sadness, emptiness and despair as powerful teachers of life's most profound lessons, not simply as diseases or symptoms to be eliminated by any means necessary.

Grace Silvia, LCSW (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Deep sadness. Can we stop pushing it away, even for a moment, and listen to what it is desperately trying to tell us? This is no easy task in our culture of 'Produce!' and 'Be happy at all costs!' Yet there is so much to be sad about personally, societally and planetarily. Pushing it away makes it dig in deeper. But by honoring it, we can find its meaning, our passion and our unique call to action.

Erin Webb (she/her)

Licensed Art Therapist

LPC, ATR

Many teens and young adults are feeling more depressed during these challenging times. They are facing a future of unknowns and spending more time on screens than ever.

Depression sucks. It sucks desire, motivation, agency, energy, joy and vitality, i.e. all the things that make life worth living. It can make life seem pointless, but there is a point to depression, a way to be with it, and a way to be without. I can help you figure out how.

Philip Kolba, MA LMHC NCC

I can do this with EMDR - it's an awesome technique that helps remove the emotional angst from your memories.

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CADC-III

There are days when getting out of bed feels impossible. Everything seems to have lost its color and vibrancy. A diagnosis of major depressive disorder doesn't fully account for the many ways people respond to feeling depressed. I see depression as having different 'flavors.' Some folks get sad, some irritable, some feel permanently stuck. I focus on prevention and recovery from depression.

Su Yim, MSW, LCSW (she/her)

Depression effects each of us differently. Using special training in mindfulness and somatic based approaches, I work first to support clients to strengthen and broaden their inner and outer resources.

Depression robs a person of joy...and of perspective. When you are in a depressive state, everything seems difficult and meaningless.

Depression can be an all-encompassing mental, emotional, and bodily state. The word itself reveals much about its nature - something is being 'depressed,' and the symptoms can be a scary experience - lack of joy, chronic fatigue, numbness, negative thought patterns. The effects of depression are compounded by social stigma. I work with you to stabilize your moods and recover a sense of aliveness.

Amanda Roberson (she/her)
