Depression

Laura Birchard (she/ her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, CADCI

Depression is more than the absence of joy—it can feel like being cut off from the inner source of life and spark. It may show up as heaviness, numbness, or disconnection from yourself and the world. From a depth psychological perspective, depression is not just a symptom to eliminate but a summons from the soul. By working with dreams, symbols, and the unconscious, we can explore the deeper meaning beneath the suffering, fostering renewal and a more authentic connection with yourself.

Joaquin Lopez (he/him)

Depression is a debilitating and paralyzing experience of the soul and spirit. Depression lives differently in everyone.

Some depression might go away on its own. This is not always the case and it frequently requires treatment. A major part of treatment will be to learn how to do activities that you care about anyway. Many times, behavior has to change before your mood or feelings will change. We’ll also learn strategies, skills, and for adopting new perspectives in order to relate to unwanted thoughts and feelings that show up for you in the context of your depression.

Jenny Larson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC (OR), LMHC (WA), EMDR Certified

Depression and anxiety are often different sides of the same coin. If you're feeling down and it's not going away, therapy can help you dive in and figure out the source of the depression. Sometimes, it's about brain physiology. Sometimes, it's situational. Sometimes, it comes from our past experiences. The irony is that the more we dive into our depression, the less intense and long-lasting it can be. Therapy can be done at a pace that works for you when diving in feels hard.

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.

Jennie Towne

Licensed Professional Counselor

MEd, LPC, LMHC

I approach this a few ways.I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to feelings of hopelessness and sadness. Through Narrative Therapy, we explore and reframe the client's personal narrative, empowering them to create a more positive self-story. Psychodynamic interventions help uncover unconscious conflicts and past experiences that may be influencing current emotional states, fostering insight and emotional healing

Depression is more than just feeling sad. Depression comes with hopelessness, entrenchment, and a lack of interest in the things that once brought joy.

Kathryn (Jasmine) Green (she/her)

Techniques like CBT help reframe negative thinking, while Person-Centered Therapy provides a supportive space for growth. Encouraging healthy routines and exploring life goals build motivation. For those seeking faith-based support, integrating prayer and scripture offers hope and spiritual encouragement.

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.

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

Clinical Psychologist

MA, MS, PsyD

Depression symptoms can include but are not limited to: feelings of defeat, overwhelm, sadness, lack of motivation, lack of interest, heaviness, and fatigue.

Taunya Gesner (she/her)

Depression comes from feeling stuck and tired and angry at where you are in life. Being able to relieve the emotions around what brought you to this state, will help you to find your joy in living once again. I can do this with EMDR - it's an awesome technique that helps remove the emotional angst from your memories.

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.

Jeffery Wise

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

DNP, PMHNP-BC

We work together to identify the causes of depression and how to have greater control over one's mental outlook and emotional response. I work with anxiety in the same way.

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

Ph.D., LMFT

I’ve been through my own dark place—the kind where you’re functioning on the outside but barely holding on inside. For a long time, I thought I had to push through, stay strong, and hide the heaviness. What helped me begin to shift wasn’t “fixing” myself—it was learning to meet the parts of me that were hurting with compassion instead of shame. That’s why I now work through the lens of IFS, RLT, and EMDR—to help others find their way out.

Robin Carlisle (She/her)

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.

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.

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.

Natalie Mickola (she/her/hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

Similar to how I described eating disorders, I also don't see depression in one stereotypical way. Some people might at home bed rotting, while others are at out with a smile on their face and feel deeply low on the inside. Either way, symptoms of depression make basic aspects of our lives harder and can make it difficult to see any hope for change. If you're open to it, I'd love to explore motivation for change and how to build a life that feels better for you.

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.

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.

Depression shows up for people in many different ways and in varying levels of severity. For some depression is experienced as discreet episodes, for others it is a pervasive background condition of life. In general depression responds well to both cognitive behavioral treatment and mindfulness training, and I employ both in my treatment strategy.

Lucius Wheeler (He/him/his)

Depression can be a very reasonable response to stressful life circumstances. It can also be the result of holding ourselves back from taking new risks to pursue our desires and interests. Every response to the world makes sense in context. I can support you in the process of understanding your experience of depression, and finding new, more satisfying possibilities.

Sean Robertson (He/him)

Clinical Psychologist Resident

PsyD

There are many ways to consider depression. Most point to neurobiology: serotonin or dopamine deficiencies. Many say it is a set of behavior habits that are difficult to change. Some say the behaviors of depression is an "anger for the world toward inward," and is perpetuated by self-limiting beliefs and attitudes. Others claim depression is the loss of a personal purpose and meaning in life. All of these approaches get at the big picture, in part, of your suffering. I can help you explore why.

Jillian Brown (She/Her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

I often find that depression comes from something being suppressed or stopped. It could be from now or from childhood. Giving the body/mind the space to express and be listened too generally allows for release and a freedom which gives rise to more creative lifeforce energy and flow.

Hunter Vaughn (He/Him)

Jennie Hagen (She/Her)

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.

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, CMA

Life is complex. Studies show that those who have "depression" are those who see things as they are. However... there are many perspectives, which may come without complicity or self blame. Sometimes what's happening is a disconnection from Self because Life can be demanding. I want to hold space for you to grieve what needs grieving, to find humor in what may be dark to others, and to find your own, special sweet Truth.

Lorraine Storm

Depression is something many people face in modern times.

Being human can be a daunting assignment. It's easy to fall into thinking of hopelessness and despair. We are raised with impossible expectations and a corresponding sense of inadequacy. How to manage? We must learn how to value, take care of and think kindly to ourselves, and make choices that support our highest well-being. To be our own ally instead of a cruel adversary.

Katie Kotsovos (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

If we think of depression as a messenger from you system that something isn't working, I can help you explore what exactly that is. From there, we can build a plan to move towards what will work. If this points to past experiences that still influence your thoughts and feelings, we can work on healing those. You deserve to feel better.

Jamie Krahulec (she/they)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC #C8857

Being alive can feel really hard sometimes and it is easy to feel stuck in sadness. I believe that every part of you has validity and worth and that even the most unhealthy moments do not mean you are a failure or lost forever. There are no time-limits or rules when it comes to emotions, especially grief. Our brains are incredibly complex and are experts at hiding and misdirection. Sometimes our “bad” thoughts and behavior occur because our minds are trying to protect us and that is okay.

Allison Amo MA, LPC (she/her)

DeShawn Williams

The bulk of my experience has been working with youth and families who are struggling with depression. Depression for young people often looks different in adults.

I work with youth and families to identify sources of these complicated feelings and utilize CBT a to treat them

Stacy Sheffler (she/her)

Feelings of depression are fairly common but can manifest differently for each person.

Adam Benjamin

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, CHT

Depression and anxiety are often situational, but just as often they are rooted in a core experience of ourselves that has persisted a long time, and resists any efforts to think our way clear of them. The mindful and experiential techniques I utilize allow access to the deep, core experiences and beliefs that need to be changed so that we can feel different and live with renewed energy.

Pearl Waldorf (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, MSed, LPC

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.

Colleen Burke-Sivers, LPC (She/her)

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

Kate Keating (she/her)

Depression is a common experience of many individuals in our culture due to trauma, expectations, and the value of individualism.

Kimberly Crow (she/her/hers)

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.

James Whalen (He/Him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

I have several years of experience working with people who have experienced intense and often treatment resistant depression, and I understand how hopeless and frustrating it is being stuck in the negative thought and mood cycles that are a part of its cause.

It won't be easy, but we will work together to slowly build patterns of thought and behavior that help to break free of depressive cycles.

Joyce Yuan

Cameron Panfely (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

R10197, MS, BS

Feeling depressed can be beyond confusing. Often times we have no idea why we are feeling so down, and others its clear. Whichever the case may be, most of us tend to feel downright stuck when experiencing episodes of depression. I want to help you explore that "stuckness", and what is keeping you from enjoying, or appreciating your days.

Han Tran (she/her)

Alissa Holmes (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Depression can present itself in many ways, and often hand-in-hand with anxiety. Depression can make it difficult to connect with your values and your sense of who you are.

Jenna Washburn (she / her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

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. It could also be nearing the edge of feeling like you can't take it anymore. I offer empathic counseling for people struggling with depression. However, if we don't make a good fit, I'm also happy to offer referrals to other counselors. My main goal is that you get the care you need.

Aaron Good (he/him/his)

Meghan O'Connor (they/them/she/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

MA, MFT

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.

Scott Fletcher (He/Him)

Tina Lilly, MS LPC

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.

Lavinia Magliocco (she/they)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CRC, NCC

Physical illness & depression often accompany each other. Even without a diagnosable illness, depression lives in the body as a kind of heaviness, an inability to find satisfaction or joy, a sense of hopelessness that pervades all aspects of life. I use a somatic, relational, & trauma-informed lens with practices to help clients integrate skills that are not just cognitive. Although thoughts contribute to depression. I include mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual interventions.

Julio Iñiguez (he/him)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT

Navigating depressions symptoms or a depression diagnosis can limit the possibilities we see for ourselves and our lives. Having support to engage with life in a way that feels meaningful and gives the sense of potential can make the difference between staying stuck and experiences some movement and levity.

Zoe Presley (she/her)

Darin Bergen (he/him)

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.

Erin Webb

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.
