Depression takes over and saps us of our motivation and energy. Let's define those symptoms and get them under control so that you can live the life you want to live.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Behind Depression is anger and behind the anger is the breakdown or dysfunction in our relationships. Over a lifetime, relational pain builds up, we suppress it cause we can't resolve it and we put up walls and pull away. We become more isolated and in the relational disconnection we lose joy in our life. If you are experiencing depression, call us, we can help you.

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Depression is more than sadness; it can be an annoyingly persistent feeling of worthlessness, emptiness, hopelessness, or irritability. It's more than just a bad day or temporary moodiness. It can be persistent and an overwhelming heaviness that affects yours thoughts, energy, daily functioning, and joy, often lasting weeks or months. It causes difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things. Key steps on how to improve depression symptoms include building compassionate accountability - by setting small, realistic goals, exercising regularly, eating healthy, maintaining a sleep routine, and challenging negative thoughts. It's learning how to challenge certain thoughts that keep you stuck and replace them with new thoughts or authentic narrative that bring in motivation to prioritize self- love and self-care.

Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
Overcoming depression in my experience requires dealing with underlying patterns and trauma. I have found a mind body approach using EMDR, brainspotting and somatic therapy to be a powerful in breaking through depression.

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.

Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression doesn't always look like sadness. Sometimes it's numbness where feelings used to be, a fog that makes small tasks enormous, or going through the motions of a life that no longer feels like yours. And sometimes it has a trigger no one acknowledges like a loss, a birth, infertility, a diagnosis, or a hormonal shift, that can make you feel stuck. You don't have to stay here. Using CBT, ACT, and narrative work, we'll untangle the thoughts that keep you low, reconnect you with what matters, and rebuild your days at a pace that respects where you're starting from. Depression is treatable, including yours.

David Oretsky Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is a challenging mental health condition that extends beyond momentary feelings of sadness, leading to a sustained sense of sorrow, disinterest in once-enjoyed activities, and difficulty with everyday tasks. It's not just an occasional down day; it's a continuous struggle that can persist. Symptoms can vary, potentially bringing about sleep or appetite changes, feelings of guilt, or even suicidal thoughts. As a therapist specializing in mindfulness and somatic-based interventions, I'm here to compassionately guide you. Depression is treatable, and through our therapeutic journey together, we'll harness the power of mindful awareness and body-centered techniques to foster resilience, self-compassion, and healing.
