Depression

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, adolescent depression is treatable, though only 30 percent of kids with diagnosable depression are receiving proper treatment. Depression among young people is associated with a wide range of negative outcomes including but not limed to severe social impairment, long-lasting effects on cognitive development, suicidal behavior, and a high risk of recurrence.

    I have been seeing Maureen for over three years, and she has created a comfortable, safe space for me to learn how to live with anxiety and depression. She has helped me navigate several life changing events, and with her help I’ve come out of each of them a stronger person.

  • Jamie W.

    Although it was difficult to admit, our young, elementary school-aged son was suffering from anxiety and low self-esteem.

    Alyson helped me find myself again after a dark period in my life. I cannot thank her enough for assisting me in working through my struggles.  

  • Lorin

    I came to Alyson when I was pregnant, physically sick beyond comprehension and depressed. I was a person who always thought I would seek help if I needed it but could never imagine the illogical thinking a person suffering from depression experiences. Or rather, the non-thinking. I would sit around sick and lost in an […]
