Depression
Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
Are your thoughts making you miserable? For some people, beginning to notice their thoughts is a revelation, and when they realize that misery is directly connected with what they are thinking, and how much credence they are giving the thoughts, and what the thoughts are, they find themselves empowered against depression, often for the first time in their lives.

Dr. Cristal Lopez
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Welcome! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families.
For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together.
Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I specialize and publish work in: coping with chronic illnesses, career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families. I’m committed to guiding you, your child, or family to a more connected and fulfilling life. Invest in yourself!

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman

Depression is more than sadness, it's a heaviness that can make even simple things feel impossible. We work with clients experiencing depression to understand what's underneath it, develop practical coping strategies, and begin rebuilding a sense of meaning and connection. You don't have to white-knuckle your way through it alone, compassionate, evidence-based support is available.

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.

Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
The word "depressed" is thrown around alot. Sometimes it is hard to know the difference between sadness and clinical depression. However, depression doesn't always feel "sad," sometimes it feels numb, empty, or even painful. It doesn't always show up as an emotion at all. Sometimes depression looks like feeling tired very often, changes in appetite or sleep, canceling plans with friends, wanting to be alone all the time OR surrounding yourself with people all the time. Depression has many faces. Our team of trained therapists can help to determine what might be happening in your life contributing to any of the signs or symptoms listed that you might relate to.

Relief from past experiences can diminish our energy’s resources, leaving us feeling empty inside, often dreading completing simple tasks. Through mindful awareness, we can work together to identify a way to find completion with what was.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

Arielle Grossman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is the invisible baggage that often is unseen but deeply felt. I believe that just because you have depression, doesn't mean your life can't be full of meaning and love. Working actively on finding that inner strength within you, we will begin to work on making healthier choices, stop negative thoughts and become more aware of the positive in your life or begin to create those moments together that feel connective to you.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Depression can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. You may feel emotionally numb, disconnected from others, exhausted, hopeless, or like you're simply going through the motions of life.
Many people also find themselves withdrawing from relationships, losing confidence in themselves, or feeling stuck in patterns they can't seem to change.
I help you understand what may be contributing to these feelings, reconnect with yourself, strengthen coping skills, and begin moving toward greater hope, energy, and emotional well-being.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Depression is different than sadness. A degree of sadness is healthy and keeps frame on the other aspects of life that provide joy and connection. Depression is a clinical term for overwhelm that affects your relationships and interaction with the world. If you're identifying with Depression it's imperative that we get you help immediately, get you some support and turn things around.
