Depression
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I assist individuals dealing with depression by using a blend of psychodynamic insights, evidence based practices and a strength-based approach. Fundamentally, I use a psychodynamic lens to help the client explore underlying emotional conflicts and past experiences that may contribute to their current struggles, fostering deeper self-awareness and insight. Regarding evidence based practices, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)to help to address negative thought patterns and behaviors, providing clients with practical tools to manage their symptoms effectively. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can also be helpful to incorporate into treatment given that depression often involves avoiding situations, people, or activities that could trigger negative emotions. ACT helps individuals confront and engage with these avoided aspects of life in a mindful and values-driven manner, reducing avoidance and increasing overall life engagement. By focusing on clients’ inherent strengths, passions and past successes, I also help them re-build a sense of self-efficacy, confidence and resilience which can impact and improve depressive symptoms. Lastly, I commonly develop collaborative relationships with clients physicians in order to offer a more integrated treatment plan that supports the clients healing.

Depression
Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Depression can feel like a dense, dark, and heavy blanket that weighs us down, sucks the joy out of life, impairs concentration and focus, leads us to question why we are living and if the hardship is worth it, makes us feel stuck, and confuses our brains into believing that we are worthless and that the negative feelings will last forever. Therapy can be essential in reducing symptoms, shifting the "stories" we tell ourselves about ourselves, more effectively coping with loss and upset, learning self-care, managing and healing from trauma, and shifting perspective so that we can feel better and develop lasting changes.

Depression
Jeannette Craigfeld
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
I approach treating depression from a multifaceted approach that varies depending on each client's particular needs. I often encourage clients to notice what types of activities tend to leave them feeling a bit more energy, joy, or lightness and what types of activities leave them feeling more depressed, fatigued, or weighed down. This can give us an idea of what types of self-care habits to prioritize. I also help clients explore what stressors in their lives might be weighing on them and how to find new ways to approach these concerns.

Depression
Kimberly LaFollette
Psychologist, Psy.D., CIMHP
Depression can be caused by many things. For some, it's living a life that is not consistent with one's purpose and values. For others, it's due to inflammation in the body. For a lot of us, it's both. We can work together to determine what is causing your depressive symptoms and develop a plan to decrease your depression and improve your overall functioning.
