Tyrene (Ty) Siadous
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
In my therapeutic approach to depression, I offer a caring and direct environment for clients to explore the complexities of their emotions. Utilizing an integrative model that draws on Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I work collaboratively with individuals to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to their depression. Additionally, I incorporate experiential techniques such as mindfulness, guided sensory exploration, and specialized breathing exercises to enhance self-awareness and coping strategies. Through this holistic and personalized approach, I support clients in reconnecting with their authentic selves, fostering a path toward healing and a more resilient emotional well-being.

Depression is normal. We all get depressed. It's our body's way of saying something is wrong. We're either living with something that no longer serves us, or we're yearning for something that has been missing. For a long time now, the psychology and psychiatric communities have treated depression as something to get rid of, something to treat. And while nobody wants to be depressed, efforts to get rid of it, or diminish its symptoms, tend to make things worse. Luckily, there are new and much more effective ways to work with depression. Therapies that include the body (somatic psychology), mindfulness (MBSR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and neuro-science have a much better success rate in treating depression. When we approach depression as a messenger and listen to what it is telling us, it tends to go away! So, what is your depression telling you? What is in your life that shouldn't be? What is missing? For over 25 years I have been helping my clients overcome depression blending the best from the worlds of somatic psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience.

Elaine Quattro
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
It’s just as surprising for some people to discover that no one or thing is causing them to feel what they are feeling. It seems natural to assume that I feel bad because of what has happened to me or because of the situation that I am in, but this is just not so. You feel what you believe! Our beliefs determine how we view and interpret life as it happens. And this interpretation of our situation determines what we feel in the midst of it. The good news is, if our belief changes, then our emotion will naturally change as well; even if our situation remains the same.
