Grace Akopyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #145795
Have you ever felt as if you had a mental block? This block prevents you from moving forward, thinking about something else and most of all changing your emotions. When someone gets in a negative downward spiral and find it very difficult to get out of it is probably because you don’t know how to. This might sound crazy, but most people who suffer with anxiety and depression start out in this same mental state that I just described. As a california marriage and family therapist and professor, I teach psychotherapists how to help clients who are in this exact mental state. There’s a cognitive behavioral therapeutic approach known as CBT that touches on something called distortions. The best way that I can explain the distortions is by having you think of those disgusting negative messages that replays in your head. This message often makes you feel horrible, worthless, stuck and like there’s no point. CBT allows you to take back control of those distortions in order to help you change your mindset to reduce or get rid of that anxiety. Feel free to schedule a session with me to see if I will be a good fit for you.

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.

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.

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Depression is often less about brain chemistry and more about a nervous system that has been through too much and learned to shut down. The flatness, the fog, the inability to feel much of anything — these are not character flaws or permanent states. They are often the body's last-resort response to pain that hasn't had a place to go.
I work with depression from a trauma-informed lens, treating the root rather than just the symptoms — using EMDR, Flash Technique, and when appropriate ketamine-assisted EMDR to help a system that has gone quiet begin to come back online. Skills and support along the way, and intensives available for those ready to move through it more deeply.
You may have been living like this for so long it feels like just who you are. Let's find out who you are when you're not carrying all of this.

Depression
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.

Veronica Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is a negative view of self, others, and the world. Many of my clients experience relief from their mild to moderate depression just by connecting with another person and revealing their thought process. I recognize that depression can take a great deal of effort and the benefits of that effort.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
If life has no joy, if life feels lonely, or if life seems meaningless, then we would say you feel depressed. Depression is more than a mindset, but it has the power to grip your mind and body in fear and shame. I take a holistic approach to depression. We will explore the power of the body to help the mind while also helping the mind support the body. It is a ying-yang relationship. I am now offering Virtual Reality therapy to help with depressive symptoms.

Theo Kuczek
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
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.

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.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling

In therapy, we compassionately explore the underlying causes of your depression while building practical tools to restore motivation, emotional balance, and hope. Through evidence-based care and Christ-centered support, you’ll have a safe space to process your pain, reconnect with purpose, and move toward renewed strength and light.

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.

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
You may look like you’re functioning on the outside, but internally everything feels heavy. Motivation is hard to come by, joy feels distant, and even small tasks can feel overwhelming. You may feel disconnected from yourself, emotionally numb, stuck in self-criticism, or unsure why life feels so hard right now.
Depression is not always just sadness—it can also be exhaustion, shutdown, hopelessness, irritability, or feeling like you’ve lost touch with yourself and the world around you. In our work, we’ll gently explore both the emotional and nervous system patterns contributing to what you’re carrying. Together, we can create movement, reconnect you with yourself, and help life begin to feel lighter and more meaningful again.
