Depression
Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression is typically defined by some combination of a persistently low mood, lack of interest in activities that used to give you joy, feelings of hopelessness, sleeping too much or too little, and/or eating too much or too little.
Sometime feeling depressed may lead you to feeling alone. Even so, it's estimated that 16 million Americans experience depression in any given year. Depression is a scientifically recognized condition. I am trained and certified in several research-based types of therapy for depression, yet I understand that the source of your depression is unique to your circumstance. There's no one-size-fits-all solution. Together, we will explore what's troubling you and our therapy to your needs.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Being a human is hard. Who doesn't get depressed now and again? But what if it is more than that? You've been feeling a little down, then the day comes when you just cannot get out of bed, nothing sounds fun (not even the things that usually do), and you just can't quite get yourself to make that call or take that walk, even though you know it might help you to feel better. Then the day stretches to two days, then three, and it starts to feel like you will never feel "normal" again. These feelings are intense, and painful, and you do not have to suffer them alone. Call or email me today.

Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
According to research we have upwards of 70,000 thoughts a day. Most of them pass through us without so much as a “second thought”, but all are informing a sense of how we feel about ourselves, about the world we live in, about the abundance or the scarcity in our lives.
Our thoughts create our feelings and vice versa. For so many of us, “feelings” become an overwhelming, incapacitating part of our existence. What if you didn’t fear feelings? What if you had a clearer understanding of what thoughts had informed those feelings? These feelings and thoughts, which create anxiety, depression, worries, concerns or obsessions etc., can and must be dissected and understood. With insight and understanding comes relief. Situational pressures, breakups, job loss or confusion, a sense of purposelessness, become existential crisis.
In my work with individuals we closely examine the myriad of thoughts that pass through you daily. How do they make you feel? How do they inform your behaviors? It can occur in opposite as well. “I got a feeling he didn’t like me”. The feeling set up thought patterns of insecurity. Which comes first? How? Why? With empathy, insight and understanding, I work with clients to intervene in this process so that you are not just a firestorm of thoughts and feelings, but rather a mindful creation of what you want to feel. Making choices of what you want to think. What do you choose to believe about yourself? What is the narrative you have created for your life and is it accurate? Unpacking childhood memories and life experiences, understanding attachment complexities and desensitizing traumatic events that occur within our lives become primary objectives in the work. Processing in a more adaptive, healthy response with these relationships, traumas and experiences follow.
Together, with love, compassion and understanding, I gently help my clients discover how to live their best and fullest life, expressing the most authentic representation of self that one can be.

Ryan Muldoon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
For depression, many therapists recommend quickly getting into action with exercise, meditation, socializing, etc. These are certainly effective! But sometimes it's best to honor your depression. It’s possible that healing may begin by doing things society unfairly shames us for, like sleeping in, closing the curtain, or indulging in that pint of ice cream. My clients have reported feeling instant relief from the shame that’s lifted when they hear this. And from there, the healing continues.

Susan Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
More than feeling a little down in the dumps, depression is the overwhelming emotional exhaustion that comes from losing hope, feeling there isn't a purpose, and feeling like your life or circumstances have gotten away from you. Change feels impossible - and like too much work if we even knew where to start. Psychotherapy for depression offers a safe space to explore circumstances, thoughts, behaviors, and options. Therapy is a place to identify and challenge negative thoughts, build healthy coping strategies, and enhance self-esteem. In therapy, you'll gain compassionate support and evidence-based interventions that give you tools to rebuild and get through things.

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
You can “have it all” and still feel deeply depressed—an issue that can be very confusing and shameful. Depression is stigmatized in our society which adds to the level of shame we can feel when we are experiencing it. Together we can unlock what is happening under the surface of your depression and better understand what changes you want to make to feel better in your skin.
