Depression
MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Since I am not a licensed therapist, I'm not allowed to diagnose conditions such as Depression. This is a term that is often thrown around quite readily and clients often state they suffer from depression, whether or not they have been formally diagnosed by a therapist in the past. Generally, it is a rather broad diagnosis covering a wide range of behaviors. For hypnotists, many of these behaviors are simply a negative habit of mind that we can change, neutralizing many of the past traumas that have led to their problems. I have worked with many such clients, however. In many cases my clients have been in therapy for years, even decades, and while they understood the roots of their feelings, they got no relief. One of my earliest clients was a woman who suffered tremendous emotional abuse as a child and grew up with a crushing feeling of worthlessness. She became grossly overweight and worked at menial jobs her whole life, unable to form any successful and satisfying relationships. Through hypnosis, she was able to lose 170 pounds and after one session focused on her past trauma, she was so lightened of her lifelong burden of self loathing that she practically floated out of my office and she insisted on paying me double my fee. She has been free of her burdens now for 5 years and comes in once a year for a refresher session. I have had many such results in my practice.

Holly Hall, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression can feel isolating and overwhelming, affecting your mood, energy, relationships, and daily functioning. Whether you're experiencing persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed, changes in sleep or appetite, or feelings of hopelessness, effective treatment can help you regain a sense of balance and purpose. My goal is to help you understand your depression, develop effective strategies to manage it, and build resilience for the future. Recovery is possible, and you don't have to navigate this journey alone.

Lori Karny LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and MSG, Masters in Gerontology
Symptoms of depression can manifest at any age. As a clinician, I offer adults a supportive opportunity to gain insight to their experience of depressive symptoms -- and to help each person develop unique strategies. It is often hard to have self-compassion for the ups and downs and to learn how to make meaningful changes to enhance coping. I collaborate with clients and as needed with psychiatrists.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with depression, low mood, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or their relationships. Depression can show up as ongoing sadness, lack of motivation, emotional numbness, irritability, or feeling stuck and exhausted by everyday life. It can also quietly affect communication, intimacy, and the ability to feel close to others.
In therapy, we focus on understanding how depression is showing up for you and what may be contributing to it. This includes exploring thought patterns, emotional experiences, life stressors, and past experiences that continue to influence the present. I help clients develop practical strategies to manage symptoms, increase emotional awareness, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and engagement.
When depression affects a relationship, we also work on improving communication and reducing isolation between partners. The goal is not simply to feel better, but to help you build a life and relationships that feel more meaningful, supportive, and sustainable over time.

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.

Major life stressors often trigger flare-ups of mental health challenges.
Are you surrounded by fears of catching COVID-19, disconnected from friends, or working a remote job you don't love?
Have you felt unlike yourself lately? Irritable, unmotivated, and detached? Worried about letting others down? Not looking forward to anything?
Maybe you're feeling guilty for procrastinating? Finding it tough to relax or sleep restfully?
Is your inner critic getting louder? Do you keep wondering if you're doing enough, are loved enough, or will ever be good enough?
What if the links between trauma and achievement are playing out for you?
Life is tough, and so are you.

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.

Anat Sideman
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT
Symptoms of depression are the smoke that alerts us to an underlying fire. You may have experienced a tragedy, or a traumatic event. Perhaps your relationship is triggering pain, your marriage is in trouble, or your child is suffering. You may notice a gradual decline in your sense of wellbeing, problems sleeping, changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, body aches, a growing sense of hopelessness or feeling that things are out of control. Whatever is causing your distress, you don’t have to manage it alone. Together, we can find kindness and compassion, create a safe space for your feelings, better understand your needs, prioritize your self-care, and identify tools that will help you feel more empowered and hopeful again.

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.

Rather than only addressing symptoms, I work with individuals to understand the underlying emotional and relational factors contributing to these experiences. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness, processing difficult feelings, and gradually rebuilding a sense of meaning, connection, and engagement in life.

Dana Fogel-Stark
Therapist, M.S., LMFT
Depression is a very common struggle for many. It is my belief that Depression is best treated using both psychodynamic as well as cognitive Behavioral therapy. CBT is effective in helping clients identify the relationship between their thoughts and negative mood therefore learning to modify their thought process in order to improve feel better and improve their mood. Psychodynamic therapy helps clients explore their emotions and identify feelings that they may not be aware of. The combination of both orientations tends to be very effective in treating Depression.
