Pasadena, California therapist: Chris Tickner, marriage and family therapist
Depression

Chris Tickner

Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Depression is normal. We all get depressed. It's our body's way of saying something is wrong. We're either living with something that no longer serves us, or we're yearning for something that has been missing. For a long time now, the psychology and psychiatric communities have treated depression as something to get rid of, something to treat. And while nobody wants to be depressed, efforts to get rid of it, or diminish its symptoms, tend to make things worse. Luckily, there are new and much more effective ways to work with depression. Therapies that include the body (somatic psychology), mindfulness (MBSR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and neuro-science have a much better success rate in treating depression. When we approach depression as a messenger and listen to what it is telling us, it tends to go away! So, what is your depression telling you? What is in your life that shouldn't be? What is missing? For over 25 years I have been helping my clients overcome depression blending the best from the worlds of somatic psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience.

Sacramento, California therapist: Arielle Grossman, marriage and family therapist
Depression

Arielle Grossman

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is the invisible baggage that often is unseen but deeply felt. I believe that just because you have depression, doesn't mean your life can't be full of meaning and love. Working actively on finding that inner strength within you, we will begin to work on making healthier choices, stop negative thoughts and become more aware of the positive in your life or begin to create those moments together that feel connective to you.

Depression often has you feeling stuck, some days it is hard to even achieve the bare minimum. Or you are able to function well enough that people do not notice how broken you feel inside. Don't go through this alone. I can help you find ways to care for yourself that actually help you feel better and identify what might be the underlying cause of your depression symptoms.

Berkeley, California therapist: Gail Kirk Poust, marriage and family therapist
Depression

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.

Sacramento, California therapist: Sandy Kong, marriage and family therapist
Depression

Sandy Kong

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Depression is more than sadness; it can be an annoyingly persistent feeling of worthlessness, emptiness, hopelessness, or irritability. It's more than just a bad day or temporary moodiness. It can be persistent and an overwhelming heaviness that affects yours thoughts, energy, daily functioning, and joy, often lasting weeks or months. It causes difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things. Key steps on how to improve depression symptoms include building compassionate accountability - by setting small, realistic goals, exercising regularly, eating healthy, maintaining a sleep routine, and challenging negative thoughts. It's learning how to challenge certain thoughts that keep you stuck and replace them with new thoughts or authentic narrative that bring in motivation to prioritize self- love and self-care.

Sacramento is the state capital with a large government and public sector workforce, and therapists here frequently address the particular stresses of public service careers, bureaucratic work environments, and the emotional toll of policy work. The city's location in the Central Valley means it serves diverse communities including large Latino, Southeast Asian, and Hmong populations, with demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists well established. UC Davis Health provides major institutional mental health resources, with a growing private practice community serving Midtown, East Sacramento, Land Park, and the surrounding suburbs. Sacramento's lower cost of living relative to the Bay Area has attracted many therapists from the region, expanding the range of available care.
