Depression
Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
You can “have it all” and still feel deeply depressed—an issue that can be very confusing and shameful. Depression is stigmatized in our society which adds to the level of shame we can feel when we are experiencing it. Together we can unlock what is happening under the surface of your depression and better understand what changes you want to make to feel better in your skin.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Being a human is hard. Who doesn't get depressed now and again? But what if it is more than that? You've been feeling a little down, then the day comes when you just cannot get out of bed, nothing sounds fun (not even the things that usually do), and you just can't quite get yourself to make that call or take that walk, even though you know it might help you to feel better. Then the day stretches to two days, then three, and it starts to feel like you will never feel "normal" again. These feelings are intense, and painful, and you do not have to suffer them alone. Call or email me today.

Depression
Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression is typically defined by some combination of a persistently low mood, lack of interest in activities that used to give you joy, feelings of hopelessness, sleeping too much or too little, and/or eating too much or too little.
Sometime feeling depressed may lead you to feeling alone. Even so, it's estimated that 16 million Americans experience depression in any given year. Depression is a scientifically recognized condition. I am trained and certified in several research-based types of therapy for depression, yet I understand that the source of your depression is unique to your circumstance. There's no one-size-fits-all solution. Together, we will explore what's troubling you and our therapy to your needs.

I can help you identify negative thoughts and replace them with positive or constructive ones, find coping strategies, learn problem-solving techniques, set goals, understand the effects your life experiences have on your symptoms, and identify issues that contribute to your depression.

Depression
Marianne Albina
Pre-Licensed Professional, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
We embark on a thoughtful exploration of the stories that shape an individual’s experience of sadness and despair. This process involves examining broader societal messages and their impact on internalized beliefs about self-worth and failure. Clients are guided to externalize their depression, viewing it as distinct from their identity. This reduces self-blame and creates space to thoroughly explore how depression operates and how to effectively confront it.

Depression
Susan Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
More than feeling a little down in the dumps, depression is the overwhelming emotional exhaustion that comes from losing hope, feeling there isn't a purpose, and feeling like your life or circumstances have gotten away from you. Change feels impossible - and like too much work if we even knew where to start. Psychotherapy for depression offers a safe space to explore circumstances, thoughts, behaviors, and options. Therapy is a place to identify and challenge negative thoughts, build healthy coping strategies, and enhance self-esteem. In therapy, you'll gain compassionate support and evidence-based interventions that give you tools to rebuild and get through things.

Depression
Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy works as well as medication for many people. It may be used alone or in combination with other approaches, including exercise and optimal nutrition. Studies have shown that psychotherapy can cause changes in brain function similar to those produced by medications. Focused, goal-oriented forms of therapy such as cognitive-behavior therapy appear to be the most effective in treating depression.
