Depression
Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
Depression is more than sadness or numbness or a feeling of no energy. The primary emotions, like sadness, grief, discouragement, or loneliness can be difficult, but they're something a person can cope with. The difficulty with depression is that it's not a primary emotion, but a dysfunction of emotion. At the heart of depression is the fact that we are keeping something pressed down, which is the true meaning of de-pression. Often, people don't even know what they are keeping pressed down, and that's where therapy can help. As with all my work, I look for the root cause, so that a client can be truly free from the depression that has troubled them.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Being a human is hard. Who doesn't get depressed now and again? But what if it is more than that? You've been feeling a little down, then the day comes when you just cannot get out of bed, nothing sounds fun (not even the things that usually do), and you just can't quite get yourself to make that call or take that walk, even though you know it might help you to feel better. Then the day stretches to two days, then three, and it starts to feel like you will never feel "normal" again. These feelings are intense, and painful, and you do not have to suffer them alone. Call or email me today.
