Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
There are many ways that depression can manifest. Because depression is a 'normal' human emotion that everyone experiences from time to time as part and parcel of being human in a complicated world that can feel full of disappointments, identifying when depression has become an obstacle or has lingered too long can be difficult. If you are more down than not, have stopped enjoying the things you used to love, or have lost the rhythm that used to keep you looking forward to the next horizon, then it may be time to seek psychotherapy. It is possible to begin living life more fully.

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.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
I understand Depression and Depressive Disorders (including Psychotic Depression) as the result of loss. It is the mind/body's response to a normal but difficult aspect of all of our lives. Things get depressed and depressing when we all experience loss. This can be any kind of loss: relationships, family, work, dreams, friendships, school achievements, and/or something special to us. At times Depression can overwhelm any of us. I treat Depression and Depressive Disorders with both mind and body: analysis one or twice per week, supplements for the brain, diet and exercise, and the creation of "flow experiences" for the patient. Connection, attachment, and trust are very important here in the therapeutic relationship as part of the healing process. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.

Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
Depression isn't always just something that happened to you. Sometimes it is also doing something for you.
I sometimes think about the word “depression” like a tongue depressor—it pushes something down. For some people, what's been pushed down is anger, grief, desire, disappointment, or parts of themselves they learned long ago weren't safe to express. For others, depression develops after years of living according to who they thought they were supposed to be, gradually losing touch with what they actually want.
This is why depression doesn't always look like overwhelming sadness. It can feel like emptiness, disconnection, exhaustion, low motivation, or simply going through the motions of a life that no longer feels meaningful.
My approach to depression therapy is psychodynamic and depth-oriented. Of course we want you to feel better, but we're also interested in understanding why you're depressed. Together, we explore the emotions, experiences, relationship patterns, and internal conflicts beneath the symptoms so that change can happen at a deeper level.
The goal isn't simply to make depression disappear. It's to help you reconnect with parts of yourself that may have gone quiet—and begin feeling more present, engaged, and alive in your own life.
