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.

Everyone's depression can manifest in different ways. There are various factors involved in depression from genetics, environmental stressors, to even trauma. At the end of the day, depression makes it increasingly difficult to cope with daily life, affecting every part of a person's life.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression is so much more than just feelings of sadness. Sometimes it's emptiness, anger (rage even), and grief. It's like the world around us is still moving, but we have a dark cloud over us. If you are experiencing depression, know that you did nothing wrong. Depression consists of intense and painful feelings that often communicate something to us that something isn't right. Whether you're learning to understand your depression, figuring out if there are ways to manage it, and/or wanting to make some changes to feel better, I'm here to support you.

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.

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.

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.
