Depression
Robynne OByrne
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression has many causes, some biological and some psychological. Regardless of the underlying causes of depression, living with depression is extremely difficult. Everyday demands feel overwhelming, relationships feel too demanding and life loses it's color. Helping clients suffering from depression reconnect with joy, passion and satisfaction is one of my passions. Together we explore the root causes of depression and treat those causes through a combination of somatic work, psychotherapy and
medication when appropriate.

Depression
Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
Are your thoughts making you miserable? For some people, beginning to notice their thoughts is a revelation, and when they realize that misery is directly connected with what they are thinking, and how much credence they are giving the thoughts, and what the thoughts are, they find themselves empowered against depression, often for the first time in their lives.

Depression
Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
For many people depression and anxiety and depression go together, but not always. Depression is a sign that the old ways aren't working anymore and you haven't found the new ways quite yet. There are different kinds of depression and while some depression doesn't go away right away, most clients I see start to feel better quickly after we start therapy.

Depression
Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Depression can feel like heaviness, numbness, or disconnection from yourself and your life. I work with clients to gently understand what’s underneath the depression—whether it’s unresolved pain, burnout, or unmet needs—and help restore a sense of vitality and meaning. Our work integrates emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and practical support for daily functioning.

Depression
Lisa McNelley Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #156096
Depression saps the life out of us. It's that feeling that nothing will change, a numbness that obscures our view of how to move forward, or worse, a desire to care. There are ways to move through it, and you do not have to do it alone. I offer a safe space to explore how depression shows up, how to manage your life when it does, and find healthy ways towards feeling hopeful and more alive.

Depression
Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression doesn't always look like sadness. Sometimes it's numbness where feelings used to be, a fog that makes small tasks enormous, or going through the motions of a life that no longer feels like yours. And sometimes it has a trigger no one acknowledges like a loss, a birth, infertility, a diagnosis, or a hormonal shift, that can make you feel stuck. You don't have to stay here. Using CBT, ACT, and narrative work, we'll untangle the thoughts that keep you low, reconnect you with what matters, and rebuild your days at a pace that respects where you're starting from. Depression is treatable, including yours.
