Depression
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
Brandy Jaramillo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I support individuals with dementia and their caregivers in managing depression through a compassionate, person-centered approach. Using evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and supportive counseling, I help clients process emotions, reduce isolation, and build practical coping strategies. For caregivers, I focus on validating their experience, addressing burnout, and restoring emotional balance. For individuals with dementia, I emphasize maintaining identity, connection, and moments of joy—enhancing emotional well-being at every stage

Depression
Alana Morazzini
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression can make even the smallest moments feel heavy and out of reach. I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of depression, and draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — an approach that moves away from simply "fighting" difficult thoughts and feelings, and instead focuses on building a richer, more meaningful life alongside them. ACT helps you clarify what truly matters to you and develop the psychological flexibility to move toward it, even on the hard days. With time and support, it is possible to feel like yourself again.

Depression
John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
Depression is different than sadness. A degree of sadness is healthy and keeps frame on the other aspects of life that provide joy and connection. Depression is a clinical term for overwhelm that affects your relationships and interaction with the world. If you're identifying with Depression it's imperative that we get you help immediately, get you some support and turn things around.

Theo Kuczek
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
Depression literally means "De-Pressed" like something external is pressing on you and leaving you unable to function the way you want. Understanding the nuances of what may be de-pressing you brings light to how it may be able to shift. There is hope.

Depression
Chris Guthrey
Psychologist, PsyD
I assist individuals dealing with depression by helping them connect with their core values and sense of purpose. This process involves identifying personal beliefs and setting goals that resonate deeply, fostering a stronger sense of direction. Additionally, exploring one's past experiences and unconscious patterns can shed light on current emotional challenges, facilitating deeper self-understanding. I have found integrating these elements, along with mindfulness practices, empowers individuals to navigate depression more effectively and lead a more fulfilling life.

Depression
Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have a deep understanding of depression and work compassionately with clients to help them navigate their struggles. I provide psychoeducation to help clients understand depression’s impact on their thoughts and behaviors, and I use a combination of EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other approaches. Together, we explore and identify negative core beliefs that fuel depression, while building healthier thought patterns and coping strategies. My goal is to support clients in finding lasting relief and empowering them to create meaningful change in their lives.
