Depression is a challenging but treatable condition, and there is hope. At Lehigh Valley Counselors, we understand the pain and struggle that come with depression. Our trained professionals specialize in helping individuals identify the causes of their depression and create effective, personalized treatment plans.
Whether your depression is linked to bereavement, grief, family disruptions, or substance abuse, our team provides the compassionate support you need to work through these challenges.
The DSM-5 defines depression clinically as:
“Depressed mood most of the day, nearly every day, as indicated by either subjective report (e.g., feels sad, empty, hopeless) or observation made by others (e.g., appears tearful). (Note: In children and adolescents, can be irritable mood.)”
While this definition is helpful for diagnosis, it doesn’t capture the emotional weight of battling depression. Feelings of hopelessness, a lack of energy, and the struggle to stay engaged in daily life can be overwhelming. Unhelpful advice like “just cheer up” often deepens the sense of isolation.
If you identify with any of the following symptoms, depression counseling could help:

Really enjoyed talking with Stan on way to recovery. Also enjoyed connecting with him on other family issues.

What sets Stan Theodoredis apart from other professionals is his innate sense of compassion. He has a generous spirit that is evident the moment you meet him. If I had to use one word to describe him it would be “kind”. I believe these are essential qualities to look for if you are searching for someone to guide you through any of life’s challenges.

He has a way of being present and listening that is comforting and gives the sense of someone who understands and is willing to make the journey no matter how rough it may be. His genuine warmth and good humor make him a pleasure to know, and are truly remarkable as he skillfully yet honestly travels the emotional, psychological and spiritual issues we all confront in our lives.

I saw Marianne when I left my husband and she was a GREAT help to me. She helped me with my anxiety, (which was sometimes overwhelming), finances, and depression. Marianne is a welcoming and warm person. I wish her the best of luck in her new venture!

Marianne Bartos was able to help me with anxiety. I was having panic attacks and she encouraged and taught me to practice breathing techniques and also meditation. These methods were very helpful to me! She is an excellent counselor and I would recommend her highly.
Client
Stan was very professional and thorough. He explained his role and the standards he would uphold for the public and DOT. He also listened to my point of view during the assessment to better understand my situation and recommend a course of action. He made clear what was expected of me. Stan also went way above and beyond what I would consider part of his job. He was a great help and resource. Thank you.
