Yukiko K Hartman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LPCC, LMHC
We all get depressed sometime in our lives, which is normal, but if you are depressed for more than two weeks, then you might want to pay closer attention to it. It's because your depressed mood starts to interfere with your daily-life; often people experience a change of appetite or sleep, difficulty making decisions or concentrating. Are you experiencing any of these signs? When you are deeply depressed, you almost feel as if there was no way out and that you were stuck there forever... I know depression is powerful, but it is not true; there Are ways that help you get out of there! I have worked with many clients with depression and helped them out of the darkness to find a new pathway to live fully again. You don't need to be alone. Let's work together.

Michelle Meade
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Sometimes depression is physiological. Sometimes it's a reasonable response to a depressing situation. Sometimes it's a dark night of the soul that leads to renewal. And the first step to understanding and treating depression is breaking the isolation that so often accompanies it.

Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
Depression colors your entire perception of self, which makes it hard (or impossible!) to talk yourself out of it. That's why I target depression from a behavioral standpoint in the early stages, getting you engaged in activities and relationships that are meaningful to you. Even if you feel like you're going through the motions at first, even a small amount of positive emotion can start to build momentum. As you begin to feel like a more engaged participant in your life, we'll explore the thoughts and feelings that perpetuate your depression, working to shift towards showing grace and gentleness toward yourself. My goal with clients is to provide skills that not only help pull you out of a current depressive episode, but increase your ability to recognize warning signs of depression in the future and feel confident you have the tools to cope.

Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
When treating depression I typically take a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach. We look at how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and how when in a negative mindset we can spiral ourselves deeper into depression. We will also examine our negative self-talk and or irrational beliefs that could be contributing to depression as well as a holistic approach that encourages a healthy lifestyle and behavioral activation (taking action).

Morgan Desai
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMFTA
Depression can feel isolating, hopeless, and tiresome with even the smallest of responsibilities feeling like too much. Maybe you feel like you're moving through the same cycles of hopelessness or sadness. Maybe its influencing multiple aspects of your life from personal to professional. Maybe your usual coping skill just aren't as effective as they used to be.
You don't have to figure it all out on your own. Together we can collaborate to identify possible triggers, explore past experiences, disrupt negative thought patterns, and build more effective, positive coping skills.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

Seattle's tech economy — driven by Amazon, Microsoft, and a dense startup ecosystem — has made burnout, imposter syndrome, and the social costs of rapid wealth inequality prominent themes in local therapy. The "Seattle Freeze" — a widely noted phenomenon of difficulty forming close friendships — means therapists here frequently address loneliness, social anxiety, and the challenge of building genuine community in an outwardly welcoming but emotionally reserved city. Seattle's progressive culture sustains strong demand for LGBTQ+-affirming therapists, neurodiversity specialists, and practitioners working with race, identity, and social justice themes. UW Medicine and Swedish Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most therapist-dense cities in the Pacific Northwest.
