Is sadness and despair overwhelming your experience of yourself and the world?
Do you feel as if a dark cloud is hovering over you?
Do even the simplest things seem too difficult to accomplish?
Do you wish you could just leave, even though you don’t even know where to go?
Are feelings of helplessness overwhelming you?
If you can identify with these descriptions, then you may be struggling with clinical depression. Depression can be temporary striking because of overwhelming life events or it can be more persistent.
Regardless of its source, there is effective treatment for these symptoms. I have extensive experience in helping clients improve their mood and quality of their life. I rely on evidence-based methods that can relieve emotional pain and aid clients’ recovery from debilitating symptoms.
I would love to partner with you to help you get you back to the enjoyment you want. Treatment can bring back positive feelings, allowing you to improve your connection with yourself and others, achieve fulfillment and help you to function at your best.
So if you’ve said to yourself…
“I can’t do anything right.”
“I’m a failure”
“There is no point to even trying.”
“ I’m doomed.”
“Nobody cares….”
“I wish I wasn’t here.”
… Then, let me help you. Give yourself a chance for a better life. You already took the first step by visiting this page. Contact me today so that we can discuss a plan to get you back on track.

Sala Psychology
Psychologist
We treat depression using a cognitive-behavioral and goal-focused approach, working with patients to systematically increase activation. This approach (CBT) has the most research evidence to support its efficacy in treating depression. We also incorporate mindfulness-based strategies, which have been found to reduce relapse.

Robert Good
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., Th.M., LPC-S, CART
Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
In addressing depression, I implement a dual approach utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside behavioral activation techniques to foster lasting recovery and well-being. Through CBT, I collaborate with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to feelings of hopelessness and low mood. By fostering self-awareness and teaching adaptive coping strategies, I empower individuals to reframe their thinking and cultivate a more balanced perspective. Additionally, I integrate behavioral activation, a powerful intervention that focuses on increasing engagement in meaningful activities and reinforcing positive behaviors.
