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
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
John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
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.

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
Mariah Dancing
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I work together with clients experiencing symptoms of depression to identify sources and triggers, to process and better understand emotional responses and to establish coping skills. Depression symptoms are nuanced, varied and unique to the individual. In some cases I've seen people feel seduced by depressive feelings and the access it provides to parts of themselves that feel harder to access outside of depression. In other cases, I've seen people feel such low energy and motivation that no steps to address it feel feasible. Both talk therapy and art therapy can help to improve the range of symptoms of depression. Clients often feel a new claim to their own life.

Depression
Marianne Albina
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT # 139542
We embark on a thoughtful exploration of the stories that shape an individual’s experience of sadness and despair. This process involves examining broader societal messages and their impact on internalized beliefs about self-worth and failure. Clients are guided to externalize their depression, viewing it as distinct from their identity. This reduces self-blame and creates space to thoroughly explore how depression operates and how to effectively confront it.
