Dr Kathryn Foster
Psychologist, Ph.D., Psychologist
Depression can leave you without energy (physically or emotionally) or angry (especially true for guys). But depression is "the common cold of mental health," and almost always quite healable. You want to be all you can be, so please don't put off treatment. It may feel hard to share when you're depressed, but I promise to help make it easier.

Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we recognize that depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) are more than just "feeling low" they can feel like a heavy fog that disconnects you from your purpose, your community, and your vitality. We understand how environmental changes, coupled with cultural isolation or life stressors, can intensify these feelings. Our clinical approach focuses on re-engaging with the world, helping you identify and shift the thought patterns that keep you stuck in a cycle of withdrawal. By honoring your personal history and cultural context, we work together to build a sustainable toolkit for emotional regulation and lifestyle adjustments that help restore a sense of hope and energy, regardless of the season.

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.

Dr. John VanderKaay & The Center for Mighty Marriages & Families
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, LMFT, BCPCC, BCPC
Feeling sad is something that everyone feels from time to time. It is a feeling that should come and go, usually depending on whether something was lost. Healthy sadness is intended to be only a visitor. It is not intended to move in. If it does, you may have depression. Sometimes depression has a physical cause and sometimes it has a psychological cause and sometimes it has both. I help people deal with the cause and create a better tomorrow, without the unwanted roommate of depression.

Depression often shows up as numbness, exhaustion, hopelessness, or a quiet sense of disconnection from yourself and others.

Together, we explore emotional patterns, unmet needs, and internal blocks so healing can happen at a deeper level. My work focuses on helping clients feel more alive, grounded, and emotionally connected again.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
Depression: Navigating the Deep Stillness
From Systemic Shutdown to Vitality
Depression is often described as "sadness," but for many, it feels more like a shut down—a heavy, gray fog that disconnects you from your vitality, your relationships, and your sense of self. It is a state of chronic burnout where the nervous system has opted for "freeze" because "fight or flight" no longer feels possible. In my practice, we approach depression with radical curiosity, looking for the light that still exists beneath the weight.
Understanding the Layers of the "Fog"
Depression is rarely a solo traveler; it is influenced by the systems we live in and the attachments we hold. We explore:
The Weight of the Mask: Addressing the exhaustion of "performing" wellness while feeling a profound internal overwhelm.
Systemic Despair: Using Systems Theory to acknowledge how social inequities, power imbalances, and environmental stressors contribute to a sense of hopelessness.
The Attachment Gap: Identifying the "emotional isolation" that often fuels depressive cycles, even when you are surrounded by people.
A Multidimensional Path to Recovery
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching modalities to help you gently re-engage with life:
EMDR for the "Core Beliefs": We use EMDR to target the "stuck" memories and negative self-narratives—like "I am a burden" or "It will never get better"—that keep the depressive cycle in motion.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "depressed part" of your system. Often, this part is trying to protect you from further pain by keeping you small and still. We work to build safety so this part can finally rest.
Nutrition-Informed Therapy: We look at the "gut-brain axis" and how physical nourishment and lifestyle rhythms impact your neurochemistry and mood.
Holding the Hope Until You Can
Whether you are experiencing a "situational dip" due to a life transition or have struggled with a "persistent low" for years, I provide a courageous space to do the heavy lifting. My goal is not just the absence of symptoms, but the presence of connection, agency, and joy.
