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.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
Depression can quietly reshape how one experiencex time, meaning, and connection, dulling what once felt so vibrant. In psychoanalytic work, we listen closely to what the depression may be holding, including unspoken losses, internal conflicts, and ways of relating to yourself that developed long ago. As these inner landscapes are explored, many people find a gradual reawakening of vitality, depth, and a sense of purpose that feels earned rather than forced.

Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
I understand, personally and professionally, that depression is far more than just "feeling sad." It is a complex condition that impacts energy, motivation, sleep, appetite, and self-worth. It can even create havoc on your I utilize evidence-based eclectic therapies, primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and related modalities, to help you identify the patterns of negative thinking and behavioral withdrawal that perpetuate the cycle of depression.

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.

Matthew Bishop
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
Depression isn’t just sadness; it’s the heavy fog that makes even small tasks feel impossible. I work with clients to untangle that heaviness, to find language for what they’ve been carrying, and to take small steps that can bring momentum and relief.

Depression
Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Depression can feel heavy and draining, making it hard to find motivation, joy, or a sense of meaning. You may feel disconnected from yourself or others, stuck in cycles of self-criticism or guilt, or exhausted no matter how much you rest. Over time, depression can shrink your world and make it difficult to believe that things can truly change.
In therapy with me, we’ll work to understand what’s contributing to your depression and gently reconnect you with yourself and your life. You’ll gain practical tools to help lift the weight day to day, while also working through the patterns, beliefs, and emotional pain beneath the surface. Together, we’ll move toward greater stability, self-compassion, and a life that feels more alive and aligned.

Depression
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Depression is often an expression of emotional loss, internal conflict, and blocked vitality rather than a problem to be treated only at the level of symptoms. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration, somatic awareness, and hypnosis to understand how sadness, withdrawal, and numbness are shaped by early relational experience and lived in the body. Together, we work toward restoring emotional movement, self-understanding, and a renewed capacity for connection and aliveness.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I work with clients experiencing depression through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens that explores the emotional, somatic, and relational roots of low mood. Using Compassionate Inquiry®, we gently uncover patterns shaped by early experiences and life stress, while building self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful coping strategies. For some clients, we also explore the supportive use of microdosing as an adjunct to therapy, helping enhance self-reflection and emotional regulation. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to reconnect with your inner wisdom and reclaim a sense of hope and purpose.

Depression literally means "De-Pressed" like something external is pressing on you and leaving you unable to function the way you want. Understanding the nuances of what may be de-pressing you brings light to how it may be able to shift. There is hope.

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.

Depression
Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Depression can make us feel broken, like we have lost ourselves. It can make us question our self-worth and whether we can be saved or are worth saving. I have been humbled to help move individuals and couples from feeling like they are unloveable or unworthy because of their depression and towards a place of loving themselves more because of it. Light shines much brighter once we have known darkness.
