Half Moon Bay, California therapist: Yesenia Villa | Integrative Health, marriage and family therapist
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.

Depression can affect every aspect of life, leaving you feeling exhausted, disconnected, hopeless, or stuck. It may become difficult to find motivation, enjoy activities you once loved, or feel hopeful about the future. Together, we'll explore the factors contributing to your depression and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your goals. Using evidence-based approaches, including EMDR when appropriate, I help clients process difficult experiences, strengthen coping strategies, and reconnect with a greater sense of purpose, resilience, and well-being.

San Francisco, California therapist: Lisa Abdilova Andresen, licensed clinical social worker
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.

San Jose, California therapist: Russell Wilkie, marriage and family therapist
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.

San Mateo is a Bay Area city on the Peninsula between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, part of one of the most expensive real estate markets in the world, and home to a large proportion of technology industry workers whose work-related stressors—alongside the intense financial pressure of Peninsula housing costs—shape much of the local mental health demand. The city has a significant East and Southeast Asian population, including large Filipino and Chinese-American communities, for whom culturally competent therapy that addresses specific cultural dynamics around family, stigma, and identity is an important consideration. A well-developed private therapy sector serves the affluent professional community, and telehealth has extended the effective therapy market across the Bay Area. Common therapy concerns include tech industry burnout, housing cost anxiety and financial stress, Asian-American identity and family dynamics, relationship difficulties, and the paradox of acute psychological distress in an objectively privileged material environment.
