Stuart Kaplowitz / Serene Pathways Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MFT
Over the course of our lives, we are going to feel down, sad, irritable, tired, etc that might be periods of depression. Ignoring your feelings will not lead them to go away and we just dont want to suck it up but rather understand and address what it going on in our minds and hearts

Depression
Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Major life stressors often trigger flare-ups of mental health challenges.
Are you surrounded by fears of catching COVID-19, disconnected from friends, or working a remote job you don't love?
Have you felt unlike yourself lately? Irritable, unmotivated, and detached? Worried about letting others down? Not looking forward to anything?
Maybe you're feeling guilty for procrastinating? Finding it tough to relax or sleep restfully?
Is your inner critic getting louder? Do you keep wondering if you're doing enough, are loved enough, or will ever be good enough?
What if the links between trauma and achievement are playing out for you?
Life is tough, and so are you.

Depression
Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Depression is often a symptom of unresolved feelings. It can be a reaction to anxiety that has exhausted itself, or anger turned inward. Some people are perfectionistic to a fault and constantly beat up on themselves for failing to attain an impossible standard of living. As a psychodynamic clinician, I help depressed people find the roots of their depression, rather than just addressing the symptoms.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Behind Depression is anger and behind the anger is the breakdown or dysfunction in our relationships. Over a lifetime, relational pain builds up, we suppress it cause we can't resolve it and we put up walls and pull away. We become more isolated and in the relational disconnection we lose joy in our life. If you are experiencing depression, call us, we can help you.

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Depression is normal. We all get depressed. It's our body's way of saying something is wrong. We're either living with something that no longer serves us, or we're yearning for something that has been missing. For a long time now, the psychology and psychiatric communities have treated depression as something to get rid of, something to treat. And while nobody wants to be depressed, efforts to get rid of it, or diminish its symptoms, tend to make things worse. Luckily, there are new and much more effective ways to work with depression. Therapies that include the body (somatic psychology), mindfulness (MBSR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and neuro-science have a much better success rate in treating depression. When we approach depression as a messenger and listen to what it is telling us, it tends to go away! So, what is your depression telling you? What is in your life that shouldn't be? What is missing? For over 25 years I have been helping my clients overcome depression blending the best from the worlds of somatic psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with depression, low mood, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or their relationships. Depression can show up as ongoing sadness, lack of motivation, emotional numbness, irritability, or feeling stuck and exhausted by everyday life. It can also quietly affect communication, intimacy, and the ability to feel close to others.
In therapy, we focus on understanding how depression is showing up for you and what may be contributing to it. This includes exploring thought patterns, emotional experiences, life stressors, and past experiences that continue to influence the present. I help clients develop practical strategies to manage symptoms, increase emotional awareness, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and engagement.
When depression affects a relationship, we also work on improving communication and reducing isolation between partners. The goal is not simply to feel better, but to help you build a life and relationships that feel more meaningful, supportive, and sustainable over time.

Overcoming depression in my experience requires dealing with underlying patterns and trauma. I have found a mind body approach using EMDR, brainspotting and somatic therapy to be a powerful in breaking through depression.

Yesenia Torres
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depressive symptoms, including persistent sadness, low energy, loss of interest in daily activities, self-critical thoughts, and difficulty with motivation or concentration. My clinical approach focuses on identifying the cognitive, emotional, and relational factors that contribute to and maintain depressive states.
Many clients I work with are navigating the impact of early attachment wounds, life transitions, chronic stress, or relational disruptions that have contributed to feelings of hopelessness or disconnection. In therapy, we work to increase self-awareness, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop effective coping strategies to support emotional regulation, self-worth, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Depression
David Andreone
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MFT
Depression is almost always rooted in the past -- thinking about the past, obsessing about the past, regretting the past. Learning how to live in the moment, in the here and now, can reduce most depression. I'm a strong believer that exercise also can play a significant role in reducing the severity and frequency of depressive episodes. Lifestyle management is crucial for success in this area.

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
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.
