Depression
Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
Depression can feel like emptiness, exhaustion, disconnection, hopelessness, or the sense that something vital has gone quiet. Rather than approaching depression only as a collection of symptoms to eliminate, I am interested in understanding what your experience may be communicating and the personal history and relational patterns beneath it. Together we work toward greater understanding, connection, vitality, and meaningful change.

Depression
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Depression is not simply sadness. It can emerge when grief has nowhere to go, anger has been turned inward, hope has repeatedly been disappointed, or a person has spent too long living disconnected from their needs, relationships, and sense of meaning. Treatment involves understanding what the depression may be communicating while restoring movement, connection, agency, and the capacity to experience life as something more than an obligation to endure.

Elnaz Mayeh (WellBeCounseling)
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, EMDR Trained
I support people struggling with depression, low motivation, and that heavy sense of disconnection that can make life feel stuck. My approach is both compassionate and action-oriented. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing you down while finding small, meaningful steps to help you re-engage with life. I often use behavioral activation, a powerful approach that helps you rebuild energy and purpose through intentional action, even when it feels impossible to start. You don’t have to face the darkness alone, change begins with one small move forward, and I’m here to help you take it.
