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.

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.

Josie Munroe, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist
Depression is not a sign of weakness, and a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" approach often does more harm than good. It's been said that depression is "the brilliant stop sign of the soul." When you're ready to heed its messages, wonderful change can occur.

Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Depression is not simply sadness. It can emerge when grief has nowhere to go, anger has been turned inward, hope has repeatedly been disappointed, or a person has spent too long living disconnected from their needs, relationships, and sense of meaning. Treatment involves understanding what the depression may be communicating while restoring movement, connection, agency, and the capacity to experience life as something more than an obligation to endure.

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
