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
Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is a space of contemplation, of deep rest, a space where the body, mind and spirit can hide from the loudly spinning world, and just take a break. And yet, it is the nature of life to grow, and we struggle to grow when in the stasis of depression. What purpose does our depression have? What is it trying to teach us? What is it protecting us from?

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.

Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Depression rarely shows up alone. For many of my clients, it's tangled up with grief, a relationship that's shifted, or a version of themselves they've lost along the way. I work to understand what's underneath, not just the symptoms, so we can find a way back to connection, with yourself and with others.

Matthew Bishop
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
Depression isn’t just sadness; it’s the heavy fog that makes even small tasks feel impossible. I work with clients to untangle that heaviness, to find language for what they’ve been carrying, and to take small steps that can bring momentum and relief.

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.

Depression
Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Depression has been a focus of my treatment throughout my training, as it is one of the most common reasons people seek treatment. Together we will look at a myriad of factors that could be contributing to your depression, including family stressors, career, physical health, life transitions, trauma, as well as personal vulnerability factors within our culture (as a result of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, classism, neuronormative expectations, and many more factors). Seeking therapeutic support is the first step. Then we may work with lifestyle changes, insights, setting more effective boundaries, possibly medication consultations, and many other approaches in treating depression. If you do seek medication treatment, I always coordinate carefully with the prescribing provider to ensure continuity of care.

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Depression is more than sadness; it can be an annoyingly persistent feeling of worthlessness, emptiness, hopelessness, or irritability. It's more than just a bad day or temporary moodiness. It can be persistent and an overwhelming heaviness that affects yours thoughts, energy, daily functioning, and joy, often lasting weeks or months. It causes difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things. Key steps on how to improve depression symptoms include building compassionate accountability - by setting small, realistic goals, exercising regularly, eating healthy, maintaining a sleep routine, and challenging negative thoughts. It's learning how to challenge certain thoughts that keep you stuck and replace them with new thoughts or authentic narrative that bring in motivation to prioritize self- love and self-care.

Anat Sideman
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT
Symptoms of depression are the smoke that alerts us to an underlying fire. You may have experienced a tragedy, or a traumatic event. Perhaps your relationship is triggering pain, your marriage is in trouble, or your child is suffering. You may notice a gradual decline in your sense of wellbeing, problems sleeping, changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, body aches, a growing sense of hopelessness or feeling that things are out of control. Whatever is causing your distress, you don’t have to manage it alone. Together, we can find kindness and compassion, create a safe space for your feelings, better understand your needs, prioritize your self-care, and identify tools that will help you feel more empowered and hopeful again.

Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
Depression can make life feel heavy—like you’re moving through the day with less energy, less hope, and less connection to yourself or others. It isn’t just sadness; depression can also involve numbness, shame, self-criticism, disconnection, and feeling stuck. Therapy can help you feel less alone, understand what you’re carrying, and begin to reconnect with motivation and meaning. Together, we work to understand the deeper emotional roots of depression and the patterns that keep it going, so you can build a more compassionate relationship with yourself and create lasting change.
