Daniel Lazar
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MBA
Men often don't like to admit they are depressed for fear of looking weak. In truth, asking for help is not shameful; it takes tremendous courage. That's the first thing I tell my clients. From there, we explore the forces behind one's depression, such as brain chemistry, upbringing, present circumstances, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. This lays the foundation for talk-therapy and skills building, two therapeutic elements that help my clients get back where they belong.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Being a human is hard. Who doesn't get depressed now and again? But what if it is more than that? You've been feeling a little down, then the day comes when you just cannot get out of bed, nothing sounds fun (not even the things that usually do), and you just can't quite get yourself to make that call or take that walk, even though you know it might help you to feel better. Then the day stretches to two days, then three, and it starts to feel like you will never feel "normal" again. These feelings are intense, and painful, and you do not have to suffer them alone. Call or email me today.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I take a compassionate and comprehensive approach to supporting clients experiencing depression. By weaving together holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness, I create a personalized pathway for each individual. This approach not only addresses the symptoms of depression but also the root causes and overall well-being of my clients. Techniques focusing on lifestyle adjustments, such as improving sleep patterns, nutrition, and physical activity, are integrated with therapeutic sessions to foster a deeper sense of balance and health. Through our collaborative efforts, clients gain the tools and insights needed to navigate their emotions, develop coping strategies, and ultimately, cultivate a more hopeful and positive outlook on life. Whether you're dealing with the challenges of depression for the first time or seeking new methods to manage your well-being, I am here to guide and support you on your journey towards healing and recovery.

Susan Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
More than feeling a little down in the dumps, depression is the overwhelming emotional exhaustion that comes from losing hope, feeling there isn't a purpose, and feeling like your life or circumstances have gotten away from you. Change feels impossible - and like too much work if we even knew where to start. Psychotherapy for depression offers a safe space to explore circumstances, thoughts, behaviors, and options. Therapy is a place to identify and challenge negative thoughts, build healthy coping strategies, and enhance self-esteem. In therapy, you'll gain compassionate support and evidence-based interventions that give you tools to rebuild and get through things.

Janee Young
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
With a blend of warmth and expertise in depression, I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhealthy thinking patterns related to depression. Mindfulness techniques are woven into our sessions to promote relaxation, fostering a sense of calm amidst life's challenges. Drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we collaboratively work on recreating a positive self-narrative and building skills to combat depression. Emphasizing self-care, I guide you in cultivating habits that contribute to your overall well-being.
