Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
The word "depressed" is thrown around alot. Sometimes it is hard to know the difference between sadness and clinical depression. However, depression doesn't always feel "sad," sometimes it feels numb, empty, or even painful. It doesn't always show up as an emotion at all. Sometimes depression looks like feeling tired very often, changes in appetite or sleep, canceling plans with friends, wanting to be alone all the time OR surrounding yourself with people all the time. Depression has many faces. Our team of trained therapists can help to determine what might be happening in your life contributing to any of the signs or symptoms listed that you might relate to.

Depression
Baya Mebarek, In-Office Couple Therapy & Online Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., LMFT
Depression is caused by many factors; some are biological, some are social, and some are psychological. It is growing steadily among all age groups, but most commonly seen in the 25-45 age group. It is growing at the fastest rate in children and adolescents. Depression in a family can suck up all the energy of a household, turning a home into a black hole of swirling negative emotions. Develop effective coping skills and relationship skills to manage your emotions and overcome depression!

Depression
Mary Karlan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Work
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is manifested by a combination of symptoms that interfere with the ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Such a disabling episode of depression (lasting two weeks or more) may occur once or several times in one’s lifetime. Dysthymic Disorder is a less severe type of depression, but is long-term and chronic. This type of depression is not disabling, but will keep one from functioning well and feeling good. I will incorporate mindfulness techniques, narrative therapy, and other therapy approaches designed specifically for you.

Depression
Claire Babbitt, LMFT, JD
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, J.D.
In some cases patients experience depression because of underlying unresolved conflict. It can be helpful to gain insight into some of the individual's struggles and fears, which in some cases may be unconscious and not are not always apparent to the patient. Insight gained in psychodynamic psychotherapy may help
patients gain clarity and understanding into patterns and reactions which have contributed to the patient's anxiety and in some cases difficulty in relationships.
In some cases referral for psychiatric evaluation or medication may be helpful , depending on whether this is something the patient wants to consider.

I can assist clients with addressing depression with cognitive behavioral therapy. This includes assisting a client with shifting negative thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors in a more positive direction. When this positive shift occurs, this can have significant benefits for depression.

Depression
Elaine Quattro
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
It’s just as surprising for some people to discover that no one or thing is causing them to feel what they are feeling. It seems natural to assume that I feel bad because of what has happened to me or because of the situation that I am in, but this is just not so. You feel what you believe! Our beliefs determine how we view and interpret life as it happens. And this interpretation of our situation determines what we feel in the midst of it. The good news is, if our belief changes, then our emotion will naturally change as well; even if our situation remains the same.

Depression
Dr. Sven Schild
Psychologist, PhD, SEP, TCC
My approach to treating depression involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). ACT helps clients accept their emotions and commit to actions aligned with their values, fostering resilience and psychological flexibility. EMDR is used to process and resolve traumatic memories that may contribute to depressive symptoms. SE focuses on addressing the physiological aspects of depression, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of balance. Together, these techniques provide a holistic framework for managing depression, promoting emotional healing, and improving overall well-being.
