Cynthia Cerrato
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Certified in Holistic Integrative Health
I specialize in helping individuals navigate the challenging landscape of depression. My decolonized, compassionate approach focuses on providing a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences related to depression without judgment. I understand that depression can manifest in various ways—impacting daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. My holistic approach combines evidence-based therapies with personalized strategies tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I focus on uncovering the underlying causes of depression, whether they stem from past trauma, life transitions, or chronic stress. In our sessions, I emphasize building coping mechanisms, enhancing emotional resilience, and fostering self-compassion. I work collaboratively with clients to set achievable goals and create actionable plans that promote healing and growth. Whether you’re experiencing persistent sadness, feelings of hopelessness, or simply a lack of motivation, I am here to support you on your journey. Together, we will work toward rediscovering joy, purpose, and a renewed sense of self, empowering you to embrace a brighter future.

Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
A lot of depression can come from feeling stuck. Maybe we feel stuck in life, or physically we are exhausted or have a difficult time finding a path forward. I have experience working with individuals who experience symptoms of depression and have training in helping people overcome their symptoms and find a way to thrive.

Together, we will explore the underlying causes of your depression and develop effective strategies to manage your symptoms, increase joy, and find meaning in work and life. We will use techniques such as logotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, to help you understand the impact of your behavior on others, learn to take responsibility for your own needs and find meaning and purpose in life. My ultimate goal is to empower you to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships, and to help you find a sense of balance and inner peace by discovering your own unique values and goals, and ultimately reducing the symptoms of depression.

Depression can seem impossible to overcome, due to its dark and enveloping nature. However, turning within and healing the wounds that cause depression is an immensely liberating component of psycho-therapy.

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Depression is normal. We all get depressed. It's our body's way of saying something is wrong. We're either living with something that no longer serves us, or we're yearning for something that has been missing. For a long time now, the psychology and psychiatric communities have treated depression as something to get rid of, something to treat. And while nobody wants to be depressed, efforts to get rid of it, or diminish its symptoms, tend to make things worse. Luckily, there are new and much more effective ways to work with depression. Therapies that include the body (somatic psychology), mindfulness (MBSR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and neuro-science have a much better success rate in treating depression. When we approach depression as a messenger and listen to what it is telling us, it tends to go away! So, what is your depression telling you? What is in your life that shouldn't be? What is missing? For over 25 years I have been helping my clients overcome depression blending the best from the worlds of somatic psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience.
