Depression
Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Depression can make us feel broken, like we have lost ourselves. It can make us question our self-worth and whether we can be saved or are worth saving. I have been humbled to help move individuals and couples from feeling like they are unloveable or unworthy because of their depression and towards a place of loving themselves more because of it. Light shines much brighter once we have known darkness.

Depression
Miriam Adrianowicz
Psychologist, PsyD
Many people who struggle with depression feel alone and isolated, while in fact, depression is a surprisingly common human experience. Part of what is so important is knowing that you are not alone, that you matter, and that it is possible to feel better. Depending on the severity of your depression, you may not believe any of these things at first, but my job is to hold onto the hope for you until you're ready to take it on yourself. Medication can be very helpful for some people, and I can work with your prescriber to find what works for you should you want to try it. Depression is complex, and when severe, we can feel stuck and "beyond help." It can be hard to believe therapy can be beneficial because of depression's influence on our sense of self-worth, agency, and motivation. We'll work together to manage your symptoms, which may likely begin with understanding them. I think of depression as a lead jacket (like at the dentist) that weighs you down as you navigate life, and dark sunglass that create a skewed lens through which you see the world. Let's take off that jacket and those sunglasses, help you feel lighter, and create a new way of being in the world.

Liza Roth, MA, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Depression is insidious and suffocating, especially if you're someone who is high-functioning. Maybe you don't understand why you seem to be on the verge of tears all the time, or why you don't really want to hang out with friends anymore, or do the things you used to enjoy. Or maybe it shows up in the piles of mail you can't get to, the late bills, the house you can't clean, the doctors appointments you keep cancelling. It probably all feels so impossibly hard. You don't have to do it alone anymore. Together, we will find a way out of the fog and help you find yourself again.

Depression
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression is more than simply feeling sad. It can affect every part of your life, making it difficult to find motivation, experience joy, maintain relationships, or complete everyday tasks. You may feel emotionally numb, hopeless, exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself and the people around you. Even activities that once brought meaning or happiness can begin to feel like a struggle.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment for depression in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. Together, we'll explore the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms, including life stress, unresolved trauma, grief, relationship challenges, burnout, or negative patterns of thinking. Our goal is not only to reduce symptoms but also to help you reconnect with your strengths, values, and sense of purpose. Treatment is personalized to your unique needs and may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, behavioral activation, and other trauma-informed interventions. You'll learn practical strategies to challenge self-critical thoughts, improve emotional regulation, rebuild motivation, strengthen healthy routines, and develop effective coping skills that support lasting emotional wellness.
We understand that depression often affects more than your mood—it can impact your physical health, sleep, concentration, confidence, work, and relationships. Therapy provides a safe space to process difficult emotions, develop self-compassion, and gradually take meaningful steps toward healing at a pace that feels manageable and sustainable. You don't have to face depression alone. With the right support and evidence-based treatment, healing is possible. Together, we'll work toward helping you feel more connected, hopeful, resilient, and empowered to create a life that feels fulfilling and meaningful.

Depression
Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Depression in teens often doesn't look like sadness. It looks like irritability, a kid who sleeps constantly or not at all, grades slipping, headphones on and door closed, dropping the sport or the friend group or the thing they used to love. From the outside it can read as attitude or laziness. From the inside it usually feels like nothing is worth the effort.
I work with teens to understand what's underneath it, what's happened, what they're carrying, what they believe about themselves that isn't true. We look at the thought patterns that keep the weight in place, and build practical ways to move through a hard day rather than just wait it out.
My approach is warm and unhurried. Depression tends to convince a teen that no one really wants to hear it, so a lot of the early work is simply being someone who does. Over time, the aim is that your teen reconnects with themselves — with energy, with the things they used to enjoy, with some sense that the future is theirs.
If you're worried about your teen, that instinct is worth acting on. Reaching out doesn't mean things have gotten bad enough. It means you noticed.

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
Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Depression can feel heavy and draining, making it hard to find motivation, joy, or a sense of meaning. You may feel disconnected from yourself or others, stuck in cycles of self-criticism or guilt, or exhausted no matter how much you rest. Over time, depression can shrink your world and make it difficult to believe that things can truly change.
In therapy with me, we’ll work to understand what’s contributing to your depression and gently reconnect you with yourself and your life. You’ll gain practical tools to help lift the weight day to day, while also working through the patterns, beliefs, and emotional pain beneath the surface. Together, we’ll move toward greater stability, self-compassion, and a life that feels more alive and aligned.
