Depression
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Depression is not simply sadness. It can emerge when grief has nowhere to go, anger has been turned inward, hope has repeatedly been disappointed, or a person has spent too long living disconnected from their needs, relationships, and sense of meaning. Treatment involves understanding what the depression may be communicating while restoring movement, connection, agency, and the capacity to experience life as something more than an obligation to endure.

Depression
Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
Rather than seeing depression as merely a biochemical disfunction or mindset problem, I aim to explore how depression functions in the body and soul. From a somatic (body-centered) perspective, depression can be understood as freeze state that inhibits expression. From a soul-centered perspective, depression can be a valuable signpost that tells us that something needs to be seen and heard so that a more aligned and full life can be lived. Together we will journey to discover how depression can transform into purposeful expression.

Depression
Dana Fogel-Stark
Therapist, M.S., LMFT
Depression is a very common struggle for many. It is my belief that Depression is best treated using both psychodynamic as well as cognitive Behavioral therapy. CBT is effective in helping clients identify the relationship between their thoughts and negative mood therefore learning to modify their thought process in order to improve feel better and improve their mood. Psychodynamic therapy helps clients explore their emotions and identify feelings that they may not be aware of. The combination of both orientations tends to be very effective in treating Depression.

Mental health needs include first-responder occupational stress — a population notoriously reluctant to seek help — family and adolescent pressures, and wildfire-season anxiety shared across the region.
