Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression is typically defined by some combination of a persistently low mood, lack of interest in activities that used to give you joy, feelings of hopelessness, sleeping too much or too little, and/or eating too much or too little.
Sometime feeling depressed may lead you to feeling alone. Even so, it's estimated that 16 million Americans experience depression in any given year. Depression is a scientifically recognized condition. I am trained and certified in several research-based types of therapy for depression, yet I understand that the source of your depression is unique to your circumstance. There's no one-size-fits-all solution. Together, we will explore what's troubling you and our therapy to your needs.

Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is not a weakness, it is often the weight of unprocessed pain, loss, or chronic stress. Sometimes it is the body's way of shutting down after being in survival mode for too long. Together, we approach depression with compassion, curiosity, and nervous system awareness. Our work focuses on gently reconnecting you to your emotions and your sense of meaning.

Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
There are a lot of misunderstandings about depression. Depression is not sadness. Sadness may or may not be a component of your depression. There are many different symptoms of depression and not everyone experiences depression in the same way. One thing that is the same for everyone is that you just can't seem to work yourself out of it on your own. Therapy can help. I use a combination of insight-oriented therapy and behavioral interventions to help you get you to the other side of your depression. It's very important to get help as soon as you can because, left untreated, depression tends to get worse over time. You do not have to suffer - depression is very common but it's also very treatable.

Dr. Deborah Vinall
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Depression can feel like a heavy blanket—muting color, dulling pleasure, and filling the mind with critical or hopeless thoughts that start to feel like truth. It can drain energy, motivation, and connection, making even small tasks feel overwhelming.
From a trauma-informed perspective, depression is often a sign of a nervous system that has learned to shut down in response to pain or overwhelm. In therapy, we work gently and collaboratively to understand what your system has been carrying and to address the underlying roots rather than simply managing symptoms.
Through EMDR, Brainspotting, and parts-based work, we support healing at a pace that feels safe and respectful. Even if depression has been present for a long time, meaningful change and renewed vitality are possible.
