Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
specialize in treating depression through an attachment-based, developmental lens. Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and attachment theory, I help clients understand how early relational experiences shape current emotional patterns. Depression is often more than sadness—it can be a protective response to unmet needs, disconnection, or unresolved attachment wounds.
In our work, we gently explore the “parts” of you that carry shame, hopelessness, or self-criticism, while strengthening your core Self—your capacity for clarity, compassion, and resilience. Together, we build emotional safety, process attachment injuries, and create new relational experiences that foster connection and vitality.

We will use techniques such as logotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, to help you understand the impact of your behavior on others, learn to take responsibility for your own needs and find meaning and purpose in life. My ultimate goal is to empower you to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships, and to help you find a sense of balance and inner peace by discovering your own unique values and goals, and ultimately reducing the symptoms of depression.

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.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Depression is a devastating thinking trap that is hard to see your way out of. It steals your energy, motivation, enjoyment and isolates you from the people and activities you love. And you can lose sight of your preciousness and the unique irreplaceable value you add to the lives of others. Working with a skilled, experienced therapist can be a game changer in finding your way out of depressive thinking spirals and finally reconnecting with meaning, purpose and enjoyment. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from sabotaging thinking patterns and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

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!

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.

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.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
If life has no joy, if life feels lonely, or if life seems meaningless, then we would say you feel depressed. Depression is more than a mindset, but it has the power to grip your mind and body in fear and shame. I take a holistic approach to depression. We will explore the power of the body to help the mind while also helping the mind support the body. It is a ying-yang relationship. I am now offering Virtual Reality therapy to help with depressive symptoms.

Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
There are a lot of misunderstandings about depression. Depression is not sadness. Sadness may or may not be a component of your depression. There are many different symptoms of depression and not everyone experiences depression in the same way. One thing that is the same for everyone is that you just can't seem to work yourself out of it on your own. Therapy can help. I use a combination of insight-oriented therapy and behavioral interventions to help you get you to the other side of your depression. It's very important to get help as soon as you can because, left untreated, depression tends to get worse over time. You do not have to suffer - depression is very common but it's also very treatable.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with depression, I take a compassionate and integrative approach that meets you where you are. We explore how depressive patterns may be rooted in early experiences, unspoken emotions, or questions of purpose and meaning. I draw from psychodynamic and parts work to help you understand how different parts of you may be coping or protecting you, even when you feel stuck. Through somatic practices, we tune into the body to gently reconnect with vitality and internal cues. Alongside this deeper work, we also develop practical strategies to support your system—bringing in care, structure, and maintenance during times when motivation or energy is low. The goal isn’t to fix you, but to build a more compassionate and supportive relationship with yourself and your experience.

Allison Pichardo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression often has you feeling stuck, some days it is hard to even achieve the bare minimum. Or you are able to function well enough that people do not notice how broken you feel inside. Don't go through this alone. I can help you find ways to care for yourself that actually help you feel better and identify what might be the underlying cause of your depression symptoms.
