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.

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.

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.

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.
