Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
When families are in addictive situations with someone they love, they are generally feeling depressed and helpless. And when an addict thinks about letting go of an addictive behaviour, they feel depressed and hopeless. This is all addressed in the therapy with Love With Boundaries Addiction Family Counselling.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Feeling down, sad and depressed at times is a normal part of the human condition. However when these feelings become pervasive, severe and/or disrupt your daily life, job, school, relationships or other life areas it can become scary and debilitating. I help people get to know the parts of themself that feels depressed, and address underlying needs and challenges that are connected to symptoms of depression.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with depression, I take a compassionate and integrative approach that meets you where you are. We explore how depressive patterns may be rooted in early experiences, unspoken emotions, or questions of purpose and meaning. I draw from psychodynamic and parts work to help you understand how different parts of you may be coping or protecting you, even when you feel stuck. Through somatic practices, we tune into the body to gently reconnect with vitality and internal cues. Alongside this deeper work, we also develop practical strategies to support your system—bringing in care, structure, and maintenance during times when motivation or energy is low. The goal isn’t to fix you, but to build a more compassionate and supportive relationship with yourself and your experience.

Chico is a north-state California city home to California State University Chico and the closest significant urban center to Paradise, the community almost entirely destroyed by the 2018 Camp Fire—the most destructive wildfire in California history—and the city's mental health landscape has been profoundly shaped by absorbing tens of thousands of Camp Fire survivors who relocated to Chico bringing acute wildfire trauma, grief, and the ongoing stress of rebuilding lives after catastrophic loss. Butte County Behavioral Health provides public mental health services, and many local therapists have developed expertise in disaster trauma, environmental grief, and the specific mental health needs of displaced wildfire survivors. Chico State's counseling center serves the significant student population, and the university's presence gives the city a progressive character that supports an open attitude toward mental health support. Common therapy concerns include wildfire-related PTSD and grief, displacement and housing insecurity, student mental health, anxiety, and the long-term psychological impact of living in a region permanently changed by catastrophic fire.
