Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people experience a deep, persistent depression with no apparent reason or when they think about global warming, war, injustice, or the inevitability of death—and you’re not alone in feeling weighed down by that awareness. Highly thoughtful, gifted, or intellectually curious people are especially vulnerable to this kind of existential heaviness. I help clients reconnect with meaning, steadiness, and small moments of joy without losing the depth and clarity that make their perspective so unique.

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.

Thea Integrative Therapy welcomes LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent creatives longing to move beyond anxiety, depression, and self-doubt into a more grounded, joyful, and authentic way of being.

This way, we can engage in depth work to understand the root, while also giving you action items to shift your energy and support your healthy habits.
Serving clients throughout the San Francisco East Bay Area and across California, our work weaves compassion, curiosity, and creativity into every session. Together, we explore the landscapes of your mind and body—helping you rediscover calm, connection, and the freedom to fully express yourself, and shedding depression.

Rebecca Rothberg
Psychologist, Psy.D., M.A., R.Y.T.
You may feel stuck, drained, or overwhelmed. Perhaps you have a sense that life could feel different, better, or somehow more enlivened than it currently does. I strive to create a safe container to help you access the parts of you that are innately whole, connected, and oriented toward the North Star in your night sky. I believe that under the right conditions, with the right tools, and through the right relationships, each of us is capable of the healing, growing, and thriving that we seek. Through empathic attunement and active collaboration, I hope to help you learn to experience, explore, and nurture your most authentic self.

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.

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.
