John S. Wilks-Young Jr.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MBA, MHA, MHR, LMHC
There are many benefits of depression counseling. For example, cognitive behavioral therapy, a type of therapy often used to treat depression, helps identify and manage the various factors that contribute to depression. This type of therapy is used to learn effective coping techniques that alleviate the symptoms of depression. I've worked with adults with depression for several years, so I know we can discover solutions to ease your discomfort and start redefining what it means to be neurodiverse together.

Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we understand depression as an experience rooted in unresolved fears and unmet needs. Using the Deconstructing Anxiety™ model, we help clients uncover the core fears that contribute to depressive feelings, such as loss of love, identity and especially loss of meaning. These fears can lead to defenses like withdrawal or self-criticism, which, though intended to protect, often deepen the sense of isolation and helplessness. By guiding clients to do the opposite of these defenses in a structured and supportive way, we open a pathway to connection, self-compassion, and renewed purpose. This process empowers individuals to move beyond depressive patterns and reclaim a sense of joy, resilience, and fulfillment in their relationships and lives.

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.

Dr. Mona E Stribling
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you feeling sad, empty, worthless, hopeless, and/or isolated for no apparent reason? Or maybe you know why but you’ve been struggling to move forward? Do you often feel irritable, on edge or have troubles eating, sleeping, or focusing? Are you having medically unexplained difficulties with aches and pains or sexual desire/performance? Are you feeling exhausted and unmotivated, unable to take care of responsibilities at school, work, or home? Do you often have intrusive, negative thoughts about yourself, others, and the world/future? Maybe you don’t exactly feel sad but blah, you manage to get things done but aren’t really enjoying life? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be suffering from depression.
