Depression
Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Depression is largely caused by isolation. The more connections you have and the more activities you do, the less depression symptoms you have. Low energy is a hallmark of depression and typically we don't have the energy to do the above, so we get into a negative spiral. Therapy can provide you with the support and encouragement you need so you can do the unnatural things we all need to do to stay out of that darkness. Some people try medication and if they want to, I can work closely with the doctor to monitor the effects of medication.

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
John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
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.

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

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.
