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.

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.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression can affect far more than mood alone. Many people experiencing depression feel emotionally numb, disconnected, unmotivated, hopeless, exhausted, self-critical, or increasingly withdrawn from relationships and daily life. Others continue functioning outwardly while internally struggling with emptiness, discouragement, shame, or a persistent sense that something is missing.
I provide therapy for individuals experiencing depression with an approach that is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based treatment. Together, we work to better understand the emotional, relational, behavioral, and life circumstances contributing to depressive symptoms while developing healthier coping strategies, greater emotional insight, and a renewed sense of meaning, connection, and psychological wellbeing.

Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is often less about feeling sad and more about feeling numb or "blah." I've worked with folks with varying degrees of depression for as long as I have been a therapist. The way out is often a mixture of self-compassion, tiny action steps to build momentum, and getting distance from negative thinking and reducing its power.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
Depression quietly reshapes how we experience time, meaning, and connection, dulling what could feel so vibrant. In therapy we can work together to listen closely to what the depression may be holding for you, including unspoken losses, internal conflicts, and ways of relating to yourself that developed long ago. As these inner landscapes are explored, many people find a gradual reawakening of vitality, depth, and a sense of purpose that feels earned rather than forced.
