Janee Young
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
With a blend of warmth and expertise in depression, I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhealthy thinking patterns related to depression. Mindfulness techniques are woven into our sessions to promote relaxation, fostering a sense of calm amidst life's challenges. Drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we collaboratively work on recreating a positive self-narrative and building skills to combat depression. Emphasizing self-care, I guide you in cultivating habits that contribute to your overall well-being.

Depression can feel isolating and overwhelming, affecting your mood, energy, relationships, and daily functioning. Whether you're experiencing persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed, changes in sleep or appetite, or feelings of hopelessness, effective treatment can help you regain a sense of balance and purpose. My goal is to help you understand your depression, develop effective strategies to manage it, and build resilience for the future. Recovery is possible, and you don't have to navigate this journey alone.

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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I work with mood disorders of all types to help folks tease out what is symptom, what is sign of overwhelm and what is external to them. Interventions might include working on activation, healthy and adaptive self-care, relational issues such as limit setting and boundaries and work-life balance as well as parts that might be informed by past trauma. Liaising and coordinating with medical and other professionals that are involved in treatment is considered important here as well.

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.

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.

Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Depression doesn't always look like sadness, it can feel like exhaustion, disconnection or simply going through the motions of your day without feeling fully present. Many clients I work with describe feeling stuck, unmotivated, or questioning their sense of purpose, even when things "look fine" on the outside. In therapy, we gently explore what's beneath these feelings while helping you reconnect with yourself in meaningful ways. Together, we work toward resetting a sense of energy, clarity and emotional balance.

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.

Depression is a complicated experience that can be difficult to explain to those who haven't ever experienced it. Therapy will help to hold all the heaviness. I believe in taking things day by day and praising those small wins you will accomplish.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Depression is a devastating thinking trap that is hard to see your way out of. It steals your energy, motivation, enjoyment and isolates you from the people and activities you love. And you can lose sight of your preciousness and the unique irreplaceable value you add to the lives of others. Working with a skilled, experienced therapist can be a game changer in finding your way out of depressive thinking spirals and finally reconnecting with meaning, purpose and enjoyment. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from sabotaging thinking patterns and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Yukiko K Hartman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LPCC, LMHC
We all get depressed sometime in our lives, which is normal, but if you are depressed for more than two weeks, then you might want to pay closer attention to it. It's because your depressed mood starts to interfere with your daily-life; often people experience a change of appetite or sleep, difficulty making decisions or concentrating. Are you experiencing any of these signs? When you are deeply depressed, you almost feel as if there was no way out and that you were stuck there forever... I know depression is powerful, but it is not true; there Are ways that help you get out of there! I have worked with many clients with depression and helped them out of the darkness to find a new pathway to live fully again. You don't need to be alone. Let's work together.

Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
When we are depressed, frightened, or angry, cascades of unskillful thoughts will tempt us with their stories: “I can’t possibly get through this.” “It will always be this way.” “I’ll never have a good relationship.” These thoughts create a painfully limited and false sense of self. Our work together can help support not only feeling the pain that these thoughts and feelings produce, but also to release them, and substitute a wiser perspective. Exploring the cracks in the heart can create a deeper relationship with ourselves as well as our relationship with being human. How these cracks have changed the way we understand life supports the ability to carry wounds gracefully. Together, we can explore the roots in order to then begin focusing on alleviating the depression through emotional engagement or reconnection with life purpose and action.
