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.

Victoria Miller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
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. I can help you identify negative thoughts and replace them with positive or constructive ones, find coping strategies, learn problem-solving techniques, set goals, understand the effects your life experiences have on your symptoms, and identify issues that contribute to your depression.

KT Glusac
Counselor/Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I bring a trauma-informed, depth-oriented approach to supporting clients living with depression. I offer ketamine-assisted therapy (KAT), which can be a powerful complement to talk therapy, as it helps clients access altered states of consciousness that often provide relief from entrenched depressive symptoms. In these expanded states, many people experience new insights, a softening of inner barriers, and the possibility of reconnecting with meaning, vitality, and self-compassion.

Often when painful feelings have become too overwhelming to process and we're having recurring negative thoughts about ourselves or the world, we become depressed. Sometimes it takes the hope and guidance of another to navigate the way through.

Kim Salinger
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MBA, MSN, PMHNP, FNP, AHN
Depression can affect mood, energy, motivation, and a person’s sense of connection to life. My approach is integrative and collaborative, with attention to both emotional and physical factors that may contribute to depression, including sleep, hormones, inflammation, and overall health. Care focuses on thoughtful psychiatric support, guidance, and medical evaluation when appropriate, with the goal of easing symptoms and helping individuals regain stability, clarity, and a sense of forward movement.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people experience a deep, persistent depression with no apparent reason or when they think about global warming, war, injustice, or the inevitability of death—and you’re not alone in feeling weighed down by that awareness. Highly thoughtful, gifted, or intellectually curious people are especially vulnerable to this kind of existential heaviness. I help clients reconnect with meaning, steadiness, and small moments of joy without losing the depth and clarity that make their perspective so unique.

Judith Nitchie
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT36770
Gloom, hopelessness, unrelenting sadness can lead to feelings of inadequacy and thoughts of 'what's the point?' Depression can interfere with work performance, making it difficult to concentrate or complete tasks; the quality of our relationships and feelings of connection can also suffer. When we have a place to process and to learn new skills we can learn to manage, and even reverse, these feelings and thoughts that keep us from living life to its fullest.

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.

Ryan Muldoon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
For depression, many therapists recommend quickly getting into action with exercise, meditation, socializing, etc. These are certainly effective! But sometimes it's best to honor your depression. It’s possible that healing may begin by doing things society unfairly shames us for, like sleeping in, closing the curtain, or indulging in that pint of ice cream. My clients have reported feeling instant relief from the shame that’s lifted when they hear this. And from there, the healing continues.

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?

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. My focus is on working collaboratively to rebuild motivation, restore engagement in valued life activities, and become proficient in emotional regulation; ultimately helping you move toward a life defined by connection, meaning, and a sustained sense of wellbeing and balance.

Sacramento is the state capital with a large government and public sector workforce, and therapists here frequently address the particular stresses of public service careers, bureaucratic work environments, and the emotional toll of policy work. The city's location in the Central Valley means it serves diverse communities including large Latino, Southeast Asian, and Hmong populations, with demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists well established. UC Davis Health provides major institutional mental health resources, with a growing private practice community serving Midtown, East Sacramento, Land Park, and the surrounding suburbs. Sacramento's lower cost of living relative to the Bay Area has attracted many therapists from the region, expanding the range of available care.
