Depression
Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
Depression has different ways of being approached. Depression and Alexithymia can be what is found suppressed with or without anxiety and other co-occurring expressions. We can offer parts work, functional support, distance TCM integration, application of an intersectional model to address ongoing depression from abusive/oppressive impacts or stored impacts...Sometimes the co-occuring condition needs care and compassionate meeting, e.g. in cases of chronic health challenges. Sometimes a more creative approach brings folks back on line from depression. Since our focus is CPTSD care, we often work with depression from a parts perspective for the last 14 years.

Depression
Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
Rather than seeing depression as merely a biochemical disfunction or mindset problem, I aim to explore how depression functions in the body and soul. From a somatic (body-centered) perspective, depression can be understood as freeze state that inhibits expression. From a soul-centered perspective, depression can be a valuable signpost that tells us that something needs to be seen and heard so that a more aligned and full life can be lived. Together we will journey to discover how depression can transform into purposeful expression.

Depression
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Depression is often less about brain chemistry and more about a nervous system that has been through too much and learned to shut down. The flatness, the fog, the inability to feel much of anything — these are not character flaws or permanent states. They are often the body's last-resort response to pain that hasn't had a place to go.
I work with depression from a trauma-informed lens, treating the root rather than just the symptoms — using EMDR, Flash Technique, and when appropriate ketamine-assisted EMDR to help a system that has gone quiet begin to come back online. Skills and support along the way, and intensives available for those ready to move through it more deeply.
You may have been living like this for so long it feels like just who you are. Let's find out who you are when you're not carrying all of this.

Depression
Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Depression can make everything feel heavier, from getting through the day to finding motivation or enjoyment in things you used to care about. You may feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. In therapy we will focus on understanding what is contributing to these feelings while building small, manageable steps toward change. The goal is to help you feel more engaged, more hopeful, and more connected to your life again.

Depression
David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
Pain and sadness about our past or hopelessness about our future is normal at times. Rumination is like watching the same clip of a mistake over and over and over, going beyond learning from our past into shaming ourselves. I work extensively with shame, which is often related to depression, disavowing you from shame narratives that have likely been present for many years.

Depression
Judith Nitchie
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT36770
Gloom, hopelessness, unrelenting sadness can lead to feelings of inadequacy and thoughts of 'what's the point?' Depression can interfere with work performance, making it difficult to concentrate or complete tasks; the quality of our relationships and feelings of connection can also suffer. When we have a place to process and to learn new skills we can learn to manage, and even reverse, these feelings and thoughts that keep us from living life to its fullest.

Depression
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.

Online in Los Angeles, CA California (Online Only)
Los Angeles has one of the highest concentrations of therapists in the United States, with a culture that broadly embraces personal growth, self-development, and long-term therapeutic work. The entertainment industry generates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, identity, the psychological pressures of creative careers, and the particular challenges of fame and public scrutiny. LA's extraordinary diversity means therapists fluent in Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Farsi, Armenian, and Tagalog are all abundant, making culturally matched care particularly accessible. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the UCLA Health system anchor institutional mental health services across the Los Angeles basin.
