Dr. Michael Namekata
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression is insidious and limits or prevents the ability to live a fulfilling life. It is made worse by stress, trauma, and relationship difficulties which can lead us to feeling further stuck and overwhelmed. Personalized therapy effectively integrates a safe and compassionate setting with advanced therapy skills and techniques to help you address depression towards living a meaningful life. I specialize in supporting adults and couples in navigating the challenges associated with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship problems.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalytic Candidate
Depression often feels like a heavy weight, obscuring joy and motivation. Psychoanalytic therapy offers a unique lens to explore the unconscious roots of depression. We'll work together to uncover hidden conflicts, past losses, or negative self-beliefs that may be fueling your low mood. By bringing these unconscious elements to light, we can understand their impact and develop new ways of coping. This journey can lead to a renewed sense of purpose, increased emotional resilience, and a brighter outlook on life.
