My approach, rooted in contemplative psychotherapy and mindfulness, is less about repair and more about listening for the deeper architecture of your being.
I accompany adults and couples through the in-between places—life transitions, strained bonds, or the ache of loss. Our work is an invitation to slow down and listen inwardly, allowing clarity and compassion to quietly re-enter the household of your heart.

Through mindfulness, guided meditations, EMDR, and art therapy, I provide clients opportunities to identify and challenge learned belief systems related to traumas and life experiences.
When we’re hurting or just going through a difficult time, so often we feel alone in our experiences. Depression, anxiety, trauma and loss can narrow our perspectives and make us feel disconnected from our loved ones and ourselves. In those moments, it can be hard to access our own sense of worth. I welcome all my clients with unconditional acceptance, wherever they are in their lives, and however they are feeling. I provide clients with tools that encourage and enhance a sense of well being, and offer a compassionate, welcoming, nonjudgmental space to help them connect with their own inner strength and wisdom.

Currently Accepting NEW Clients
Hello, my name is Zach DePledge. In the 12 years I have been working in mental health, I have grown a passion in working with teenagers, young adults, and parents. Society places so much pressure on us these days to be perfect. What I have found is the comparison game we play in our minds destroys our self-esteem and can cause anxiety, depression, and many other mental health struggles. Parents are left wondering "am I parenting correctly?" Most of the times we don't talk about our struggles because we don't want to appear weak, in turn we are left struggling alone.

My approaches to therapy include Mindfulness-based therapy, IFS parts-work, EMDR, and body-centered awareness.
Embarking on the path of healing and self-exploration is an act of daring.

Through a mindfulness-based lens, I can support you in cultivating more awareness, embodiment, somatic resources, congruence, authenticity, and empowerment.
I would like to offer you a genuine connection. One where safety and trust is not only valued, but prioritized as a means to deepen. My approach is first and foremost about fostering the therapeutic relationship itself. My focus is client-centered and rapport-oriented to cultivate a relationship where all of you is welcome. I understand the complexity of feelings and thoughts, and how they may feel overwhelming, uncomfortable, incongruent, challenging, or conflicting. I offer skills and tools to help befriend these parts so they feel more manageable. I believe healing is not linear and am here to support you on your unique journey.

Our work is relational and nervous-system focused, using mindfulness, compassion, and humor as tools for healing.
Do you find yourself taking on the emotions of the people in your life while receiving little emotional care in return? Your sensitivity is a gift that requires care and support. I work primarily with highly sensitive women who feel overwhelmed and stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but struggle to shift. You may appear high functioning to others while feeling anxiety, self-criticism, or disconnection when alone. Many of the clients I work with have histories of trauma, C-PTSD, and emotionally unsafe relationships. I offer a therapy space that feels thoughtful, compassionate, and grounding.

You are insightful, sensitive, and often hard on yourself — even when no one else sees it. Maybe you’ve learned to cope by staying busy, staying strong, or staying small. But beneath the surface, you’re longing for more: more peace, more connection, more truth. I work with teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, self-worth, relationship struggles, and life transitions. My approach is relational and holistic — weaving in attachment-based therapy, EMDR, nervous system regulation and somatic practices — to help you unlearn old patterns, reconnect with yourself, and build a life that actually feels like yours

As far as everyone is concern, "you have an amazing life". "You have a partner who "loves you, gives you the world" or maybe "you are lucky to be single". "You can date whomever you like and not have to answer to anyone". But what if your experience of yourself and your life is completely different from what everyone else sees. What if life does not feel so amazing? What if even though you have a partner, you feel as though you are living separate lives; no joy, no intimacy, no sex, just constant bickering? What if you are tired of being alone, tired of the lack of connection? Tired of not having the relationship you desire?

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
