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.

KIM RICHARDSON LINDLEY
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, I CADC II
Depression can be a time for slowing down, processing loss and grief, being reflective and introspective, and at other times, can feel unbearable, lonely, and dark. Being able to know the difference, and offer support is both challenging and rewarding work.

Micha Noble, MA
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT
There is beauty in showing up for yourself, and bravery in turning towards struggle. When we deny our struggle, we deny a part of us that is longing to be seen.

Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Even when life looks successful on the outside, you can still feel empty, numb, or weighed down on the inside. Many high-functioning individuals push through the day but feel disconnected from joy, purpose, or themselves. In therapy, we’ll explore the emotional patterns behind the heaviness and work toward renewed connection, self-compassion, and meaning—on your terms.

Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Depression can show up in subtle ways for high-functioning people. You may continue leading, creating, or meeting responsibilities while privately feeling exhausted, disconnected, or overwhelmed. For founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals, depression often develops alongside chronic stress, burnout, and pressure to keep performing. Through trauma-informed therapy, narrative work, and nervous system regulation, we address the deeper patterns contributing to depression so you can reconnect with meaning, emotional steadiness, and a greater sense of vitality.

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Depression can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, your relationships, and the things that once brought you joy. Whether you’re experiencing sadness, hopelessness, low motivation, exhaustion, numbness, or a sense of simply going through the motions, depression can make even the smallest tasks feel overwhelming.
As a therapist, I provide a compassionate space to explore the emotional, relational, and life experiences contributing to your depression. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s beneath the surface, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect you with meaning, purpose, and hope.
Healing from depression is not about pretending everything is okay. It’s about rediscovering your capacity to feel alive, engaged, and connected to your life again.

Depression has many root causes, but is highly responsive to treatment. I work with people to identify what is at the root of their depressive symptoms and utilize Somatic, Ego-state and EMDR-related practices to address these root causes.

Julie Levin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Depression in the context of a challenging family member makes so much sense. This is different from the kind of depression that is organic and arises out of nowhere. Instead, this is a normal response to an abnormal situation. When you feel chronically stressed, overwhelmed, and stuck, your brain tries to protect you, kind of like a rolly-poly bug. You pull inward, lose interest in activities, need more sleep, and feel blah because your brain is conserving energy until you can find a solution. As you discover new ways to cope and feel less fear and guilt about taking care of your own needs, you may find your energy, enthusiasm, lightness, and joy gradually return.

In our work together, we will work to uncover likely causes of your low mood and find out whether they are circumstantial or whether they stem from something deeper.

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.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

Riverside is home to UC Riverside and is the economic and cultural hub of the Inland Empire — a vast suburban region east of Los Angeles where high housing costs, long commutes, and economic pressures create distinct mental health challenges for a predominantly working- and middle-class population. The city has a significant Latino and Black population, and bilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve important access roles in communities where language and cultural fit are barriers to mainstream mental health services. Riverside University Health System provides institutional mental health resources for one of California's largest and fastest-growing counties. UC Riverside's psychology program feeds practitioners into the local community, though the Inland Empire as a whole remains underserved relative to coastal California metros.
