Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Depression can make us believe we need to feel better before we can begin doing better. Often, the opposite is true. Evidence-based approaches such as behavioral activation show that purposeful action can help shift mood rather than waiting for motivation to arrive first. Sometimes the work is about emptying the glass—making space for what has accumulated—and then taking small, intentional steps toward movement, connection, and meaning. You don't have to feel ready to begin. Sometimes, the doing is part of what helps you feel better.

Tin Huang
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating the heavy weight of depression, helping them find pathways toward renewed hope and energy. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, creating a safe space to openly explore feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and lack of motivation without shame. Together, we'll identify triggers, develop effective coping strategies, and gently work to lift the fog of depression. I also recognize that cultural expectations and systemic factors, such as societal pressures or lack of resources, can significantly contribute to and exacerbate depressive states. Through this holistic and informed partnership, I empower clients to regain their vitality, build resilience, and rediscover joy in their lives.

You don't have to just push through. Relief is possible.
