Depression
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Depression is a devastating thinking trap that is hard to see your way out of. It steals your energy, motivation, enjoyment and isolates you from the people and activities you love. And you can lose sight of your preciousness and the unique irreplaceable value you add to the lives of others. Working with a skilled, experienced therapist can be a game changer in finding your way out of depressive thinking spirals and finally reconnecting with meaning, purpose and enjoyment. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from sabotaging thinking patterns and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Major life stressors often trigger flare-ups of mental health challenges.
Are you surrounded by fears of catching COVID-19, disconnected from friends, or working a remote job you don't love?
Have you felt unlike yourself lately? Irritable, unmotivated, and detached? Worried about letting others down? Not looking forward to anything?
Maybe you're feeling guilty for procrastinating? Finding it tough to relax or sleep restfully?
Is your inner critic getting louder? Do you keep wondering if you're doing enough, are loved enough, or will ever be good enough?
What if the links between trauma and achievement are playing out for you?
Life is tough, and so are you.

Depression
Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Depression can feel heavy and isolating and can make it difficult to get through the day to day. I work with individuals experiencing depression in a compassionate, supportive, and collaborative way. I understand that depression is shaped by life experiences, stress, biology, and patterns that develop over time. Together, we’ll explore what’s contributing to how you’re feeling and identify practical, meaningful steps toward relief.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral and insight-oriented techniques, and is tailored to your unique needs. Whether your depression is connected to trauma, life transitions, or ongoing stress, I help you build skills to shift unhelpful thought patterns, reconnect with a sense of purpose, and gradually restore motivation and balance. You don’t have to navigate depression alone. With the right support, it is possible to feel more engaged, hopeful, and connected to your life again.

Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Depression can show up in subtle ways for high-functioning people. You may continue leading, creating, or meeting responsibilities while privately feeling exhausted, disconnected, or overwhelmed. For founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals, depression often develops alongside chronic stress, burnout, and pressure to keep performing. Through trauma-informed therapy, narrative work, and nervous system regulation, we address the deeper patterns contributing to depression so you can reconnect with meaning, emotional steadiness, and a greater sense of vitality.

Anxiety Eliminated
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Health Coach, MBA
I am one of the few (only?) therapists, who understands the connection between depression and low blood sugar. Low blood sugar is an epidemic due to SAD: Standard American Diet. My protocols for fixing diet are mostly effortless. Once low blood sugar is stablized, THEN you we release and heal the root causes of the depression, most often found in childhood.

Depression
David Oretsky Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is a challenging mental health condition that extends beyond momentary feelings of sadness, leading to a sustained sense of sorrow, disinterest in once-enjoyed activities, and difficulty with everyday tasks. It's not just an occasional down day; it's a continuous struggle that can persist. Symptoms can vary, potentially bringing about sleep or appetite changes, feelings of guilt, or even suicidal thoughts. As a therapist specializing in mindfulness and somatic-based interventions, I'm here to compassionately guide you. Depression is treatable, and through our therapeutic journey together, we'll harness the power of mindful awareness and body-centered techniques to foster resilience, self-compassion, and healing.

Depression
Judith Nitchie
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT36770
Gloom, hopelessness, unrelenting sadness can lead to feelings of inadequacy and thoughts of 'what's the point?' Depression can interfere with work performance, making it difficult to concentrate or complete tasks; the quality of our relationships and feelings of connection can also suffer. When we have a place to process and to learn new skills we can learn to manage, and even reverse, these feelings and thoughts that keep us from living life to its fullest.
