Victoria Miller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression takes over and saps us of our motivation and energy. Let's define those symptoms and get them under control so that you can live the life you want to live. I can help you identify negative thoughts and replace them with positive or constructive ones, find coping strategies, learn problem-solving techniques, set goals, understand the effects your life experiences have on your symptoms, and identify issues that contribute to your depression.

Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
According to research we have upwards of 70,000 thoughts a day. Most of them pass through us without so much as a “second thought”, but all are informing a sense of how we feel about ourselves, about the world we live in, about the abundance or the scarcity in our lives.
Our thoughts create our feelings and vice versa. For so many of us, “feelings” become an overwhelming, incapacitating part of our existence. What if you didn’t fear feelings? What if you had a clearer understanding of what thoughts had informed those feelings? These feelings and thoughts, which create anxiety, depression, worries, concerns or obsessions etc., can and must be dissected and understood. With insight and understanding comes relief. Situational pressures, breakups, job loss or confusion, a sense of purposelessness, become existential crisis.
In my work with individuals we closely examine the myriad of thoughts that pass through you daily. How do they make you feel? How do they inform your behaviors? It can occur in opposite as well. “I got a feeling he didn’t like me”. The feeling set up thought patterns of insecurity. Which comes first? How? Why? With empathy, insight and understanding, I work with clients to intervene in this process so that you are not just a firestorm of thoughts and feelings, but rather a mindful creation of what you want to feel. Making choices of what you want to think. What do you choose to believe about yourself? What is the narrative you have created for your life and is it accurate? Unpacking childhood memories and life experiences, understanding attachment complexities and desensitizing traumatic events that occur within our lives become primary objectives in the work. Processing in a more adaptive, healthy response with these relationships, traumas and experiences follow.
Together, with love, compassion and understanding, I gently help my clients discover how to live their best and fullest life, expressing the most authentic representation of self that one can be.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression can affect far more than mood alone. Many people experiencing depression feel emotionally numb, disconnected, unmotivated, hopeless, exhausted, self-critical, or increasingly withdrawn from relationships and daily life. Others continue functioning outwardly while internally struggling with emptiness, discouragement, shame, or a persistent sense that something is missing.
I provide therapy for individuals experiencing depression with an approach that is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based treatment. Together, we work to better understand the emotional, relational, behavioral, and life circumstances contributing to depressive symptoms while developing healthier coping strategies, greater emotional insight, and a renewed sense of meaning, connection, and psychological wellbeing.

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.

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
You can “have it all” and still feel deeply depressed—an issue that can be very confusing and shameful. Depression is stigmatized in our society which adds to the level of shame we can feel when we are experiencing it. Together we can unlock what is happening under the surface of your depression and better understand what changes you want to make to feel better in your skin.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Depression rarely looks the same in every person — for many adults it shows up as persistent exhaustion, emotional numbness, loss of motivation, or a quiet sense that something is fundamentally wrong. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults and couples navigate depression, major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, and chronic low mood using a personalized, evidence-based approach. Treatment integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care to address both the symptoms and the deeper patterns driving them. Telehealth therapy for depression available across 40+ states.

Dr. Aleksandra Drecun
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Depression may be described as feeling sad, melancholy, dismal, unhappy, miserable, or down. Many individuals may feel periodic sadness during a distressing situation or transition. Clinical depression is a mood disorder in which feelings of sadness, loss, anger, or frustration affect one’s life for a couple of weeks or longer. Anyone can develop depression, even kids. Clinical depression tends to manifest differently in children and adolescents than in adults.
Depression can appear as anger, irritation and discouragement, rather than feelings of sadness.
If depression is very severe, there may also be psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions.
Treatment for depression may include psychotherapy and/or medication. Either way, seek assistance from a professional psychologist immediately if you or someone you know may be suffering from depression. Hope is available.
