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.

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.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Depression can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. You may feel emotionally numb, disconnected from others, exhausted, hopeless, or like you're simply going through the motions of life.
Many people also find themselves withdrawing from relationships, losing confidence in themselves, or feeling stuck in patterns they can't seem to change.
I help you understand what may be contributing to these feelings, reconnect with yourself, strengthen coping skills, and begin moving toward greater hope, energy, and emotional well-being.

Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is often less about feeling sad and more about feeling numb or "blah." I've worked with folks with varying degrees of depression for as long as I have been a therapist. The way out is often a mixture of self-compassion, tiny action steps to build momentum, and getting distance from negative thinking and reducing its power.
