Depression
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.

Depression
Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression doesn't always look like sadness. Sometimes it's numbness where feelings used to be, a fog that makes small tasks enormous, or going through the motions of a life that no longer feels like yours. And sometimes it has a trigger no one acknowledges like a loss, a birth, infertility, a diagnosis, or a hormonal shift, that can make you feel stuck. You don't have to stay here. Using CBT, ACT, and narrative work, we'll untangle the thoughts that keep you low, reconnect you with what matters, and rebuild your days at a pace that respects where you're starting from. Depression is treatable, including yours.

Depression & Mood Recalibration
Shifting from Past Ruminations to Future Alignment
Depression can quietly sap vitality, blur clarity, and make even the most capable individuals feel stuck in a cycle of emotional exhaustion. Rather than viewing depression solely as a fixed chemical state, I view it as a complex signal that key areas of life—thoughts, habits, physical health, or relationships—have become misaligned or depleted.
My current practice is optimized for adults experiencing moderate depression, persistent low mood, burnout, or mood patterns in partial remission. Because my work emphasizes strategic growth and self-actualization, we focus on helping you regain momentum, rebuild emotional resilience, and move beyond simply "surviving" toward thriving.
A Comprehensive Biopsychosocial Framework
Depression affects the whole person, and lasting relief requires a multi-dimensional approach. We systematically evaluate and optimize five core pillars of your well-being:
Cognitive & Internal Scripts: Identifying and updating negative thought patterns, self-critical narratives, and the persistent "mental noise" that maintains low mood.
Behavioral Activation: Re-engaging in purposeful, energy-generating activities that counteract the withdrawal and lethargy characteristic of depression.
Physiological & Somatic Balance: Addressing baseline lifestyle factors—such as sleep architecture, movement, and nervous system regulation—to restore physical vitality.
Relational Connection: Transforming social isolation into meaningful, supportive connections and setting healthy boundaries where needed.
Contextual & Environmental Alignment: Adjusting external stressors and life circumstances so your environment actively supports your mental health.
Future-Oriented & Collaborative Growth
A guiding premise of my work is that depression tends to lock your focus into the past—on past regrets, lost opportunities, or old hurts.
While we honor your history, our primary work shifts your trajectory forward. We collaborate to clarify what you ideally want your future to look like, breaking that vision down into practical, achievable steps. By replacing self-defeating patterns with strategies that generate real-world results, we help you step out of stagnation and reclaim an active, fulfilling life.

Depression
Allison Pichardo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression often has you feeling stuck, some days it is hard to even achieve the bare minimum. Or you are able to function well enough that people do not notice how broken you feel inside. Don't go through this alone. I can help you find ways to care for yourself that actually help you feel better and identify what might be the underlying cause of your depression symptoms.
