Depression
Joy Rabon
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT, CCTP, CIMHP
We all feel down sometimes. We might be grieving a loss, dealing with a difficult change in our life or relationship, or feeling discouraged, disappointed, or confused. These emotions are normal and part of our journey through life. Some days, we feel down without knowing why, and sometimes these feelings persist, turning into weeks, months, or even years. Eventually, this can lead to a loss of motivation to get out of bed or manage daily tasks, let alone handle life's additional and unpredictable challenges.
This downward spiral can lead to a profound sense of despair, where we feel lost and lack a clear vision for the future. We may experience hopelessness and helplessness, believing that we will never feel whole again. Our minds can feel enveloped in a perpetual fog, draining us of the energy needed to navigate through it. Depression can become so overwhelming that we might entertain thoughts of self-harm, whether to end our life or inflict physical pain to alleviate emotional suffering. In those dark moments, our minds might convince us that these are the only rational options or the only way out of our bleak situation.
Sometimes, it takes the intervention of a family member or friend to encourage us to seek help. Other times, a small inner voice prompts us to reach out to an unbiased and objective professional. As your therapist, I offer a compassionate, empathetic, and sensitive approach to managing depression. I believe that overcoming this fog requires careful, deliberate steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed or discouraged. My goal is to empower and equip you to regain control of your life through tailored therapy.

Depression
Gregory Smith
Counselor/Therapist, ALC (Associate Licensed Counselor), BCPC
Depression can effect a person in many ways. My approach to treating depression attempts to find the original causes of the depression. Although depression can attack a person in several areas of life, there are usually certain reasons for them to be exhibiting depressive symptoms. Often therapy consists of prescribing a person an antidepressant and sending them on their way without ever addressing the reason they are depressed in the first place. I will work with you to find the underlying reasons why you are depressed.

Depression
Amy L. Holdbrooks, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, ALC, BSW
Even fleeting feelings of depression must not be minimized or dismissed. When depression sets in, it can feel ominous and dark, leaving one with an overwhelming sense of despair. Just as humans are complex, so are their reactions to the unpleasant onset of emotion. Depression is idiosyncratic. [One’s response to it is resolute, distinctive, and characteristic of only their composition.]
