Depression & Emotional Numbness Support

If life feels flat or you’ve lost your spark — it’s not you. It’s a sign your brain needs support.

At Grounded Psychiatry, we take a root-cause, whole-person approach to low mood, emotional disconnection, and chronic emptiness.

We help you get to the why — whether it’s inflammation, neurotransmitter imbalances, chronic stress, trauma, or hormonal shifts — so you can finally feel present, engaged, and motivated again.

We support intelligent, emotionally aware, high-achieving individuals who don’t feel like themselves — and are ready to feel more alive.

Here’s how we approach depression support differently — and what working with us might look like:

  • Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. For many high-functioning individuals, it can feel more like fog, detachment, lack of interest, or emotional flatness.


    We see depression as a signal — not a personal failure — and our goal is to help you understand what your brain and body are trying to say, so you can feel ike yourself again.

  • We don’t just prescribe — we investigate.
    We use labs, genetics, and intake assessments to identify overlooked root causes like:

    • Low dopamine or serotonin activity

    • Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress

    • Unprocessed trauma or unresolved grief

    • Hormonal imbalances or thyroid issues

    • Histamine intolerance, B12 or iron deficiency

    From there, we create a step-by-step care plan personalized to your biology and goals.

  • Our depression support is designed for people who:

    • Feel flat, disconnected, or emotionally numb

    • Experience motivation or energy swings

    • Want help but are wary of “being medicated forever”

    • Value science, but want to heal with compassion and context

    • Are ready to explore the deeper why behind how they feel

    • Your journey may include:

      • Functional lab testing (inflammation, hormones, nutrients)

      • Genetic testing for mood and neurotransmitter pathways

      • Lifestyle upgrades for movement, light, and nervous system health

      • Supplementation or peptides as needed to support neurochemistry

      • Mind-body tools for grief, trauma, and emotional healing

      • And when needed — gentle, temporary medication support with a clear taper plan

Your emotions aren’t broken. You may just need the right care to reconnect.
Let’s help you feel like you again — grounded, hopeful, and truly alive.♡

  • Client Love

    “I started seeing Jessica early last year and told her that I truly wanted to come off of my depression medication safely if at all possible. Jessica is well educated in the use of natural vitamins and lifestyle changes to treat my depression, mood swings and at times anxiety. What impressed me most was Jessica’s willingness to provide resources to educate me about what to expect and at NO time pressured me to convert to vitamins from medication. Every time we met, I would advise Jessica of how I was feeling and she always listened and offered multiple options of how we could best get me to a better place. Currently, I am on no medications ONLY vitamins and I have honestly never felt better.”

    I cannot recommend Jessica Kettell highly enough. From my very first appointment, she created a safe, understanding, and compassionate space where I felt truly heard. Her expertise, patience, and thoughtful approach have made a profound difference in my mental health journey. One of the most impactful aspects of my care with Jessica was her guidance in safely transitioning off antidepressants after five years. She provided clear, step-by-step support throughout the process, ensuring I felt confident and well-supported every step of the way. Her extensive knowledge of vitamins and supplements also played a key role in my treatment, offering natural and effective alternatives to support my overall well-being.
