San Luis Obispo, California therapist: Christina Dee, marriage and family therapist
Depression

Christina Dee

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
When we are depressed, frightened, or angry, cascades of unskillful thoughts will tempt us with their stories: “I can’t possibly get through this.” “It will always be this way.” “I’ll never have a good relationship.” These thoughts create a painfully limited and false sense of self. Our work together can help support not only feeling the pain that these thoughts and feelings produce, but also to release them, and substitute a wiser perspective. Exploring the cracks in the heart can create a deeper relationship with ourselves as well as our relationship with being human. How these cracks have changed the way we understand life supports the ability to carry wounds gracefully. Together, we can explore the roots in order to then begin focusing on alleviating the depression through emotional engagement or reconnection with life purpose and action.

San Luis Obispo, California therapist: Liza Roth, MA, LMFT, marriage and family therapist
Depression

Liza Roth, MA, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Depression is insidious and suffocating, especially if you're someone who is high-functioning. Maybe you don't understand why you seem to be on the verge of tears all the time, or why you don't really want to hang out with friends anymore, or do the things you used to enjoy. Or maybe it shows up in the piles of mail you can't get to, the late bills, the house you can't clean, the doctors appointments you keep cancelling. It probably all feels so impossibly hard. You don't have to do it alone anymore. Together, we will find a way out of the fog and help you find yourself again.

Long Beach, California therapist: LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra, marriage and family therapist
Depression

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Depression can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, your relationships, and the things that once brought you joy. Whether you’re experiencing sadness, hopelessness, low motivation, exhaustion, numbness, or a sense of simply going through the motions, depression can make even the smallest tasks feel overwhelming. As a therapist, I provide a compassionate space to explore the emotional, relational, and life experiences contributing to your depression. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s beneath the surface, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect you with meaning, purpose, and hope. Healing from depression is not about pretending everything is okay. It’s about rediscovering your capacity to feel alive, engaged, and connected to your life again.
