Depression
Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have a deep understanding of depression and work compassionately with clients to help them navigate their struggles. I provide psychoeducation to help clients understand depression’s impact on their thoughts and behaviors, and I use a combination of EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other approaches. Together, we explore and identify negative core beliefs that fuel depression, while building healthier thought patterns and coping strategies. My goal is to support clients in finding lasting relief and empowering them to create meaningful change in their lives.

Depression
Theo Kuczek
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
Depression literally means "De-Pressed" like something external is pressing on you and leaving you unable to function the way you want. Understanding the nuances of what may be de-pressing you brings light to how it may be able to shift. There is hope.

Depression
KT Glusac
Counselor/Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I bring a trauma-informed, depth-oriented approach to supporting clients living with depression. I offer ketamine-assisted therapy (KAT), which can be a powerful complement to talk therapy, as it helps clients access altered states of consciousness that often provide relief from entrenched depressive symptoms. In these expanded states, many people experience new insights, a softening of inner barriers, and the possibility of reconnecting with meaning, vitality, and self-compassion.

Depression
Shelley M. Samuels
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor #6947 (CA), TLHT #494 (FL)
I work with people to support them in dealing with their depression by assisting them to discover underlying causes, but also to simply help them become more functional; better able to face their daily tasks. I often use creative interventions like mindfulness (I am MSBR-certified), expressive art, journaling eco-art therapy and meditation; to encourage my clients to find more meaning and joy in life. I also use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy, which I am trained in) to help clients identify negative thoughts, using exercises or homework to examine unhealthy behaviors. Finally, I may also work with people employing EMDR, a technique for working through trauma. In addition, I work with clients with depression that might result in chronic physical pain.

Depression
Charis Khoury
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Often when painful feelings have become too overwhelming to process and we're having recurring negative thoughts about ourselves or the world, we become depressed. Sometimes it takes the hope and guidance of another to navigate the way through.

Depression
Chris Guthrey
Psychologist, PsyD
I assist individuals dealing with depression by helping them connect with their core values and sense of purpose. This process involves identifying personal beliefs and setting goals that resonate deeply, fostering a stronger sense of direction. Additionally, exploring one's past experiences and unconscious patterns can shed light on current emotional challenges, facilitating deeper self-understanding. I have found integrating these elements, along with mindfulness practices, empowers individuals to navigate depression more effectively and lead a more fulfilling life.

Depression
John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
Depression is different than sadness. A degree of sadness is healthy and keeps frame on the other aspects of life that provide joy and connection. Depression is a clinical term for overwhelm that affects your relationships and interaction with the world. If you're identifying with Depression it's imperative that we get you help immediately, get you some support and turn things around.
