Depression
Dr. Diann Sanford
Psychologist, Psy.D, LP, LPC
Do you secretly hate yourself or your life? Are you tired of faking your smile? Are you ready to do something about the emptiness you are feeling inside? If so, together through uniquely designed therapeutic interventions we can help you genuinely smile again, from the inside- out. We will build gratitude and compassion, challenge cognitive distortions, build supports and community, and learn to naturally restore and produce life giving energies within our own body through heart rate variability biofeedback, balance, mindand intentional self-care.
Often individuals recover without using medication, sometimes some of my clients who are on medication management are able to seriously reduce the amount of psychotropic medication prescribed after our sessions together.

Depression
Nicole Zembery
Pre-Licensed Professional, LPC-Associate
Depression can feel like moving through life with no energy, no motivation, and no real sense of joy—just getting through the day can feel like a lot. You might feel disconnected from yourself or the things you used to enjoy. Together, we’ll create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, while gently working toward reconnecting with meaning, motivation, and a version of yourself that feels more alive.

Depression
Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients reduce sadness and depression related symptoms - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients struggle with recurrent depression, often impacted by their anxiety and social rejection for being different in some way (racial/ethnic minority, growing up poor, queer, trans/nonbinary, non-monogamous, neurodivergent, etc.). It can be hard to have positive self-esteem when you get so much feedback from others that being different is a bad thing.

Dr. Carolina Castanos, PhD, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD, LMFT
Depression is a way our body tells us that there are issues that we have not resolved reaching a place where we feel completely hopeless. There is, however, an inner energy, a spark towards growth and we need to find that. We will build on strengths to then go heal what hurt us so deeply.

Depression
Sydney Fowler
Counselor/Therapist, MT-BC, LPC
I work with individuals experiencing depression, including persistent low mood, loss of motivation, and feelings of hopelessness or disconnection. Depression can impact many areas of life, and treatment focuses on helping clients better understand these patterns while developing effective coping strategies. I utilize a combination of talk therapy and evidence-based approaches, and also offer EMDR and creative interventions when appropriate to support emotional processing and engagement. My goal is to help clients reconnect with a sense of purpose, improve daily functioning, and experience meaningful change.
5 Years Experience
Online in Austin, TX Texas (Online Only)
Austin's explosive tech-industry growth has brought an influx of young professionals navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the pressures of rapid lifestyle change in an increasingly expensive city. The city has a large LGBTQ+ community and strong demand for affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. The University of Texas and major hospital systems including Ascension Seton and St. David's HealthCare provide supplementary mental health resources alongside the city's growing network of private practices. Many Austin therapists offer telehealth, making it easier to find care across the wider metro and surrounding Hill Country communities.
