Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
Are your thoughts making you miserable? For some people, beginning to notice their thoughts is a revelation, and when they realize that misery is directly connected with what they are thinking, and how much credence they are giving the thoughts, and what the thoughts are, they find themselves empowered against depression, often for the first time in their lives.

Robynne OByrne
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression has many causes, some biological and some psychological. Regardless of the underlying causes of depression, living with depression is extremely difficult. Everyday demands feel overwhelming, relationships feel too demanding and life loses it's color. Helping clients suffering from depression reconnect with joy, passion and satisfaction is one of my passions. Together we explore the root causes of depression and treat those causes through a combination of somatic work, psychotherapy and
medication when appropriate.

Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
For many people depression and anxiety and depression go together, but not always. Depression is a sign that the old ways aren't working anymore and you haven't found the new ways quite yet. There are different kinds of depression and while some depression doesn't go away right away, most clients I see start to feel better quickly after we start therapy.

Depression can be an inherited brain-chemistry lack (medication usually required), as well as a legitimate emotional response to too many losses in PMES ways (Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual).

Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Depression can feel like heaviness, numbness, or disconnection from yourself and your life. I work with clients to gently understand what’s underneath the depression—whether it’s unresolved pain, burnout, or unmet needs—and help restore a sense of vitality and meaning. Our work integrates emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and practical support for daily functioning.

Lisa McNelley Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #156096
Depression saps the life out of us. It's that feeling that nothing will change, a numbness that obscures our view of how to move forward, or worse, a desire to care. There are ways to move through it, and you do not have to do it alone. I offer a safe space to explore how depression shows up, how to manage your life when it does, and find healthy ways towards feeling hopeful and more alive.

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.

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.

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.

Anders Greenwood
Psychologist, Psy.D, Ph.D.
I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.
