I help identify the areas in life that may be undernourished, help you address them, and explore depression as a possible defense against feeling the full spectrum of emotion.

In the end, depression is a stuck process of grieving or mourning. In our work, we will get down to the root causes of your depression, allowing for your process of grieving to unfurl of its own accord, providing you with relief and a way forward.

KT Glusac
Counselor/Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I bring a trauma-informed, depth-oriented approach to supporting clients living with depression. I offer ketamine-assisted therapy (KAT), which can be a powerful complement to talk therapy, as it helps clients access altered states of consciousness that often provide relief from entrenched depressive symptoms. In these expanded states, many people experience new insights, a softening of inner barriers, and the possibility of reconnecting with meaning, vitality, and self-compassion.

Rebecca Rothberg
Psychologist, Psy.D., M.A., R.Y.T.
You may feel stuck, drained, or overwhelmed. Perhaps you have a sense that life could feel different, better, or somehow more enlivened than it currently does. I strive to create a safe container to help you access the parts of you that are innately whole, connected, and oriented toward the North Star in your night sky. I believe that under the right conditions, with the right tools, and through the right relationships, each of us is capable of the healing, growing, and thriving that we seek. Through empathic attunement and active collaboration, I hope to help you learn to experience, explore, and nurture your most authentic self.

Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression doesn't always look like sadness. Sometimes it's numbness where feelings used to be, a fog that makes small tasks enormous, or going through the motions of a life that no longer feels like yours. And sometimes it has a trigger no one acknowledges like a loss, a birth, infertility, a diagnosis, or a hormonal shift, that can make you feel stuck. You don't have to stay here. Using CBT, ACT, and narrative work, we'll untangle the thoughts that keep you low, reconnect you with what matters, and rebuild your days at a pace that respects where you're starting from. Depression is treatable, including yours.

Charis Khoury
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Often when painful feelings have become too overwhelming to process and we're having recurring negative thoughts about ourselves or the world, we become depressed. Sometimes it takes the hope and guidance of another to navigate the way through.

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.

Berkeley is home to the University of California, Berkeley—one of the world's great public research universities—and has a progressive, intellectually vibrant character and a community culture that is among the most therapy-positive in the United States, with an unusually high density of licensed therapists relative to population. The university's health services include counseling for enrolled students, and the academic and activist culture of Berkeley creates specific mental health pressures around perfectionism, imposter syndrome, political engagement, and the burnout of sustained social activism. The city's housing market is among the most expensive in the country, and financial precarity is a significant stressor for students, artists, and workers who value Berkeley but struggle to afford it. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, activist burnout, identity and social justice, anxiety, depression, and the complex emotional experience of living in a place with deeply held ideals about equity alongside the daily reality of inequality.
