Depression
Yesenia Villa | Integrative Health
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, ATR
Depression is extremely common and I have helped people who experience bouts of sadness that are provoked or unprovoked. I believe the body lets us know when something is needed in the form of varying emotions. However, emotions are temporary experiences that can be released and do not need to take long-term residence.

In treating depression, I focus on helping clients identify and challenge the negative thought patterns that contribute to feelings of hopelessness and sadness. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work together to reframe unhelpful thinking, develop healthier coping strategies, and build emotional resilience. Through structured and collaborative sessions, my goal is to empower you to regain control of your mood and behavior, enabling you to make lasting changes and live life according to your values.

Depression
Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
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
Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Depression is largely caused by isolation. The more connections you have and the more activities you do, the less depression symptoms you have. Low energy is a hallmark of depression and typically we don't have the energy to do the above, so we get into a negative spiral. Therapy can provide you with the support and encouragement you need so you can do the unnatural things we all need to do to stay out of that darkness. Some people try medication and if they want to, I can work closely with the doctor to monitor the effects of medication.

Depression
Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
specialize in treating depression through an attachment-based, developmental lens. Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and attachment theory, I help clients understand how early relational experiences shape current emotional patterns. Depression is often more than sadness—it can be a protective response to unmet needs, disconnection, or unresolved attachment wounds.
In our work, we gently explore the “parts” of you that carry shame, hopelessness, or self-criticism, while strengthening your core Self—your capacity for clarity, compassion, and resilience. Together, we build emotional safety, process attachment injuries, and create new relational experiences that foster connection and vitality.

I support individuals with dementia and their caregivers in managing depression through a compassionate, person-centered approach. Using evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and supportive counseling, I help clients process emotions, reduce isolation, and build practical coping strategies. For caregivers, I focus on validating their experience, addressing burnout, and restoring emotional balance. For individuals with dementia, I emphasize maintaining identity, connection, and moments of joy—enhancing emotional well-being at every stage
