I understand the profound suffering it inflicts on those suffering with it and I usually can help quite a bit. If you want more detail, contact me and I will send you a chapter from one of my textbooks that covers the basis and treatment of depression.

Depression
Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
My therapy services are designed to address the unique emotional and psychological challenges that gay men often face. Growing up and living in systems that stigmatize and marginalize us can lead to anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, and isolation. I offer a safe, affirming space where you can explore these experiences, find healing, and build resilience.
Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma
Gay men experience higher rates of depression, often rooted in rejection, discrimination, and past trauma. Together, we’ll identify the sources of distress and use evidence-based strategies to reduce symptoms, improve mood, and restore balance. For those healing from trauma or PTSD, therapy offers a supportive environment to process painful memories and regain a sense of safety and control.
Building Confidence
Stigma and chronic stress can undermine self-worth. My approach focuses on strengthening self-esteem, developing healthy coping tools, and helping you cultivate self-compassion and confidence.
My Approach
I use a client-centered, affirming approach that validates your experiences while empowering you to grow. With years of experience working with gay men’s mental health, I integrate proven therapeutic methods to support you in creating lasting change and living more fully and authentically.

Many IPG therapists work with various forms of depression. While we do not have psychiatrists or medical doctors on staff and cannot prescribe medication, we often collaborate with providers who do. As with many mental health concerns, medication may or may not be part of your long-term treatment plan, alongside the psychotherapy we provide.

Depression
Center for Specialized Psychology
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCSW, LPC,
Depression is a common struggle among children, adolescents and adults. At CSP we believe that one condition, such as depression, will never look the exact same on two or more people. Therefore, we don't treat it the same. We take an integrative and personalized approach for every patient to ensure that the treatment they receive will work best for them. Treating depression includes understanding what the depressive symptoms are, where they come from, how to notice triggers, how to manage symptoms, and how to overcome mood shifts, through both cognitive and behavioral strategies. In addition, a psychodynamic approach is often used to explore the origin of the depression and process / heal from the underlying cause(s).

Depression
Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have 10 years of experience working with clients experiencing depression ranging from mild, persistent low mood to more severe and debilitating symptoms. In my work, I focus on helping clients understand the cycles of depression—how they develop, what maintains them, and how we can begin to gently interrupt and shift them over time.
A significant part of this process involves exploring past experiences that may have shaped how a person sees themselves, others, and the world. This can include working through negative or painful experiences, as well as untangling the ways we may have internalized family histories, patterns, or expectations that continue to impact our sense of self today. Together, we work toward creating more space to define who you are outside of these inherited or learned narratives. My goal is to support clients in breaking out of stuck patterns, reconnecting with themselves, and building a more grounded and sustainable sense of hope, meaning, and direction in their lives.

Depression
Lionel Latouche - Kairos Psychotherapy & Wellness
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression often arises from events that have occurred in our past. In therapy, we will work to identify the events that have contributed to the feelings of depression. Our goal will not be to 'relive' these events, but rather to process them in a way that creates space for our emotions to exist healthily. Over time, we will develop the necessary coping skills to positively change our thoughts, feelings, and even bodily experiences, with the goal of long-term improvements in mood, outlook, and overall happiness in life.
