Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Depression is normal. We all get depressed. It's our body's way of saying something is wrong. We're either living with something that no longer serves us, or we're yearning for something that has been missing. For a long time now, the psychology and psychiatric communities have treated depression as something to get rid of, something to treat. And while nobody wants to be depressed, efforts to get rid of it, or diminish its symptoms, tend to make things worse. Luckily, there are new and much more effective ways to work with depression. Therapies that include the body (somatic psychology), mindfulness (MBSR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and neuro-science have a much better success rate in treating depression. When we approach depression as a messenger and listen to what it is telling us, it tends to go away! So, what is your depression telling you? What is in your life that shouldn't be? What is missing? For over 25 years I have been helping my clients overcome depression blending the best from the worlds of somatic psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience.

Depression
Chris Guthrey
Psychologist, PsyD
I assist individuals dealing with depression by helping them connect with their core values and sense of purpose. This process involves identifying personal beliefs and setting goals that resonate deeply, fostering a stronger sense of direction. Additionally, exploring one's past experiences and unconscious patterns can shed light on current emotional challenges, facilitating deeper self-understanding. I have found integrating these elements, along with mindfulness practices, empowers individuals to navigate depression more effectively and lead a more fulfilling life.

Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Depression can feel like heaviness, numbness, or disconnection from yourself and your life. I work with clients to gently understand what’s underneath the depression—whether it’s unresolved pain, burnout, or unmet needs—and help restore a sense of vitality and meaning.

Dr. Lois Nightingale
Psychologist, MA, Ph.D.
I have worked with clients struggling with Clinical Depression since 1983. Depression can be devastation, not only to the client, but to their entire family. Research indicates that a combination of counseling and medication can help address Major Depression.

I also offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, in partnership with Journey Clinical for eligible clients.

You may feel stuck, drained, or overwhelmed. Perhaps you have a sense that life could feel different, better, or somehow more enlivened than it currently does. I strive to create a safe container to help you access the parts of you that are innately whole, connected, and oriented toward the North Star in your night sky. I believe that under the right conditions, with the right tools, and through the right relationships, each of us is capable of the healing, growing, and thriving that we seek. Through empathic attunement and active collaboration, I hope to help you learn to experience, explore, and nurture your most authentic self.

Depression
Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
You can “have it all” and still feel deeply depressed—an issue that can be very confusing and shameful. Depression is stigmatized in our society which adds to the level of shame we can feel when we are experiencing it. Together we can unlock what is happening under the surface of your depression and better understand what changes you want to make to feel better in your skin.

Depression has many root causes, but is highly responsive to treatment. I work with people to identify what is at the root of their depressive symptoms and utilize Somatic, Ego-state and EMDR-related practices to address these root causes.

Depression
David Andreone
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MFT
Depression is almost always rooted in the past -- thinking about the past, obsessing about the past, regretting the past. Learning how to live in the moment, in the here and now, can reduce most depression. I'm a strong believer that exercise also can play a significant role in reducing the severity and frequency of depressive episodes. Lifestyle management is crucial for success in this area.

Depression
Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression is so much more than just feelings of sadness. Sometimes it's emptiness, anger (rage even), and grief. It's like the world around us is still moving, but we have a dark cloud over us. If you are experiencing depression, know that you did nothing wrong. Depression consists of intense and painful feelings that often communicate something to us that something isn't right. Whether you're learning to understand your depression, figuring out if there are ways to manage it, and/or wanting to make some changes to feel better, I'm here to support you.

Depression
Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I work with adults and parents who are experiencing depression, low mood, or a loss of motivation and connection in their lives. Depression can often feel isolating and overwhelming, affecting energy, relationships, self-esteem, and the ability to engage in daily life. In therapy, we create a supportive space to explore the underlying experiences, patterns, and stressors that may be contributing to these feelings.
My approach integrates relational therapy, attachment-based work, and neuroscience-informed practices to help clients better understand both the emotional and nervous system components of depression. Together, we focus on building insight, strengthening emotional regulation, and reconnecting clients with a sense of meaning, resilience, and connection in their lives.

Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
Depression can make life feel heavy—like you’re moving through the day with less energy, less hope, and less connection to yourself or others. It isn’t just sadness; depression can also involve numbness, shame, self-criticism, disconnection, and feeling stuck. Therapy can help you feel less alone, understand what you’re carrying, and begin to reconnect with motivation and meaning. Together, we work to understand the deeper emotional roots of depression and the patterns that keep it going, so you can build a more compassionate relationship with yourself and create lasting change.

Ryan Muldoon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
For depression, many therapists recommend quickly getting into action with exercise, meditation, socializing, etc. These are certainly effective! But sometimes it's best to honor your depression. It’s possible that healing may begin by doing things society unfairly shames us for, like sleeping in, closing the curtain, or indulging in that pint of ice cream. My clients have reported feeling instant relief from the shame that’s lifted when they hear this. And from there, the healing continues.
