Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Depression has many root causes, but is highly responsive to treatment. I work with people to identify what is at the root of their depressive symptoms and utilize Somatic, Ego-state and EMDR-related practices to address these root causes.

Gwen Grigsby
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
We all experience highs and lows, but when the lows become more frequent or consistent, and you find yourself struggling to stay motivated, maintain relationships, and keep up at work, it may be time to seek support. Depression can feel like a persistent heaviness. You may experience difficulty sleeping and a shift in your appetite, and feel sad, agitated, hopeless, empty, and guilty. Together, we will make space for your experience, explore when and how life became so difficult, and develop new ways of coping.

Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Depression feels overwhelming and affects how someone thinks about everything, often causing a since of hopelessness and helplessness. It can impact an individuals ability to work and interpersonal relationships. Usually there is no clear source of the mood shift which adds to the difficulty coming out of it. Although it is sometimes hard to imagine feeling better, treatment can be very helpful.

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.
