Rudi Lion, MA, MFT
Most people will be faced with an episode of depression at least once in their lives. When you first come in we explore whether the depressive feelings are based in the past or the result of current events. Sometimes people who present with depression seem to have unresolved child hood issues. Together we find ways of bringing closure to these unexplored and unexpressed 'childhood wounds'. Clients often report a new sense of joy and more vitality after feelings of sadness, grief or anger have been expressed. Also relationships with parents and or other loved ones usually greatly improve. If the depression is based in current affairs we often use behavioral therapy to increase your coping.
Ellen Klavan, MA, MFT
Depression can feel like a lead weight that you carry around with you day in and day out. It can be hard to remember that you ever felt better or to believe that you will ever feel good again. One of the most valuable things that therapy can do for depressed people is to inspire hope, to restore the confidence that one can find or recover a positive outlook on life. We do this by exploring the origins of your depression and putting your current feelings into perspective. You'll be encouraged to find your strengths and inner resources and harness them to pull you through to a more lively and empowered state of mind.
Wendy Allen, Ph.D, MFT

Depression can be a chemical imbalance, a genetic predisposition, or an appropriate way to respond to ongoing anxiety, stress, grief, and trauma. Feeling stuck in your life or with a problem, i.e., feeling trapped, can make us depressed. Do you ruminate with worry about the future and think with the worst-case scenarios? You may be depressed and you may need solid therapy to help you. I am an expert in working with depression, anxiety, and stress.

Depression is often related to having feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. These feelings can stem from negative messages learned through childhood. Therapy can help explore if this is the case and to rework these messages to reflect an more accurate and compassionate self image. In other cases, there is a biological basis to depression. Often, medication is indicated to help facilitate the healing process. Exercise and activity is very helpful in the recovery process.

My approach to helping clients overcome depression incorporates mindfulness - a compassionate and nonjudgmental acceptance is important to have if we are to make any changes in ourselves. I also integrate cognitive-behavior techniques in treating depression, which helps the person see more clearly the dysfunctional and negative messages they are giving themselves, and to be able to change those.
