I also offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, in partnership with Journey Clinical for eligible clients.

Depression
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.

Depression
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.

Depression
Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I specialize in working with adults experiencing depression, low mood, lack of motivation, and emotional numbness. Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. It can show up as feeling disconnected, exhausted, unmotivated, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift, even when you understand them intellectually.
My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to address the underlying causes of depression, including unresolved trauma, loss, and long-standing relational patterns. These therapies work at the level of the brain and nervous system to help create meaningful, lasting change rather than short-term relief.
I also integrate nervous system regulation and attachment-focused work, which can be especially helpful if you tend to withdraw, shut down emotionally, or feel disconnected from yourself or others. Therapy is paced carefully to support engagement without overwhelm, particularly when motivation and energy are low.
Many clients come in feeling stuck or discouraged after trying to “push through” depression on their own. Through this work, clients often experience increased energy, improved mood, and a stronger sense of connection to themselves and their lives.

Depression
Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Depression can feel heavy and isolating and can make it difficult to get through the day to day. I work with individuals experiencing depression in a compassionate, supportive, and collaborative way. I understand that depression is shaped by life experiences, stress, biology, and patterns that develop over time. Together, we’ll explore what’s contributing to how you’re feeling and identify practical, meaningful steps toward relief.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral and insight-oriented techniques, and is tailored to your unique needs. Whether your depression is connected to trauma, life transitions, or ongoing stress, I help you build skills to shift unhelpful thought patterns, reconnect with a sense of purpose, and gradually restore motivation and balance. You don’t have to navigate depression alone. With the right support, it is possible to feel more engaged, hopeful, and connected to your life again.

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.

I help you understand what may be contributing to these feelings, reconnect with yourself, strengthen coping skills, and begin moving toward greater hope, energy, and emotional well-being.

Depression
Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Depression isn’t just sadness—it can feel like a fog that dulls your motivation, isolates you from others, and makes even simple tasks feel insurmountable. Whether you're experiencing persistent low mood, burnout, or a loss of purpose, I offer a structured, evidence-based approach to help you reconnect with meaning and momentum.
My treatment integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation, and Schema Therapy to address both the symptoms and the underlying patterns that sustain depression. We’ll explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and core beliefs interact—and develop practical strategies to restore energy, engagement, and emotional clarity. For clients navigating complex transitions or existential concerns, I also incorporate Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and values-based decision tools.
Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a high-functioning exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that supports both immediate relief and long-term resilience.

San Francisco's extreme housing costs and the psychological toll of the tech industry — characterized by intense performance pressure, rapid layoff cycles, and boom-bust uncertainty — have made burnout, anxiety, and economic grief among the most common presenting concerns. The city has a historically significant LGBTQ+ community, and affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, queer relationships, and HIV-related concerns remain an important part of the local therapy landscape. UCSF Health provides world-class institutional mental health resources, while the city's dense network of independent practitioners reflects a culture that has long embraced therapy as a normal and valued part of life. Telehealth has expanded access significantly for Bay Area residents commuting from Oakland, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
