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.

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.

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.

Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
Depression is another common diagnosis that I have seen in clinical practice. It can happen from many sources of events or memories. Identifying the triggers and symptoms along with other resources will be helpful in reducing and managing depressive symptoms effectively.

When life loses its color, you don't feel like doing anything or seeing anyone, and normal daily tasks start to feel impossibly overwhelming, you may be struggling with depression.

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.

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.

Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
Depression has different ways of being approached. Depression and Alexithymia can be what is found suppressed with or without anxiety and other co-occurring expressions. We can offer parts work, functional support, distance TCM integration, application of an intersectional model to address ongoing depression from abusive/oppressive impacts or stored impacts...Sometimes the co-occuring condition needs care and compassionate meeting, e.g. in cases of chronic health challenges. Sometimes a more creative approach brings folks back on line from depression. Since our focus is CPTSD care, we often work with depression from a parts perspective for the last 14 years.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Depression can feel heavy and isolating—draining your energy, dulling your joy, and making even simple tasks feel overwhelming.

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.

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.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
Pain and sadness about our past or hopelessness about our future is normal at times. Rumination is like watching the same clip of a mistake over and over and over, going beyond learning from our past into shaming ourselves. I work extensively with shame, which is often related to depression, disavowing you from shame narratives that have likely been present for many years.
