Depression
John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Depression is different than sadness. A degree of sadness is healthy and keeps frame on the other aspects of life that provide joy and connection. Depression is a clinical term for overwhelm that affects your relationships and interaction with the world. If you're identifying with Depression it's imperative that we get you help immediately, get you some support and turn things around.

Depression
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.

Depression
Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Depression feels overwhelming and affects how someone thinks about everything, often causing a since of hopelessness and helplessness. It can impact an individuals ability to work and interpersonal relationships. Usually there is no clear source of the mood shift which adds to the difficulty coming out of it. Although it is sometimes hard to imagine feeling better, treatment can be very helpful.

Depression
Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
specialize in treating depression through an attachment-based, developmental lens. Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and attachment theory, I help clients understand how early relational experiences shape current emotional patterns. Depression is often more than sadness—it can be a protective response to unmet needs, disconnection, or unresolved attachment wounds.
In our work, we gently explore the “parts” of you that carry shame, hopelessness, or self-criticism, while strengthening your core Self—your capacity for clarity, compassion, and resilience. Together, we build emotional safety, process attachment injuries, and create new relational experiences that foster connection and vitality.

Depression often has you feeling stuck, some days it is hard to even achieve the bare minimum. Or you are able to function well enough that people do not notice how broken you feel inside. Don't go through this alone. I can help you find ways to care for yourself that actually help you feel better and identify what might be the underlying cause of your depression symptoms.

Depression
Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
I consider depression to be one of the most important challenges to work on. People who have depression are often misunderstood. They've been told how they think, they've been told to just "be happy" or to "look on the bright side". If you are that person, you understand that depression is not that simple. It is incredibly complex issue that requires a lot of exploration about yourself. We can work together to get to the core of your depression, and help you find ways of working through it and taking control of your life again.

These types of problems can occur with individuals, couples and teens and all are treated according to current standards.

Depression
Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Depression is largely caused by isolation. The more connections you have and the more activities you do, the less depression symptoms you have. Low energy is a hallmark of depression and typically we don't have the energy to do the above, so we get into a negative spiral. Therapy can provide you with the support and encouragement you need so you can do the unnatural things we all need to do to stay out of that darkness. Some people try medication and if they want to, I can work closely with the doctor to monitor the effects of medication.

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.
