Depression
Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression sometimes may feel like a mud pile, that we struggle to escape from. You may be experiencing sadness, loss of appetite, hopelessness, or loss of interest in activities or social interactions. You may struggle to find the motivation to change but you know you can benefit from a little transformation. Depression is a presenting symptom, it is not the root of the issue. Discovering and treating the root of the issue, so the symptom would not occur or repeat again is my goal as your therapist.

Depression
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I view depression from a systemic perspective, looking at the client's entire life to establish what may be causing or exacerbating the client's depression symptoms. Then the client and I collaborate on goals to improve the client's mood and overall wellness. Treating depression I will always be using integrative therapy techniques because no one therapy is right for every aspect of a person's depression.

Depression
Joy Rabon
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT, CCTP, CIMHP
We all feel down sometimes. We might be grieving a loss, dealing with a difficult change in our life or relationship, or feeling discouraged, disappointed, or confused. These emotions are normal and part of our journey through life. Some days, we feel down without knowing why, and sometimes these feelings persist, turning into weeks, months, or even years. Eventually, this can lead to a loss of motivation to get out of bed or manage daily tasks, let alone handle life's additional and unpredictable challenges.
This downward spiral can lead to a profound sense of despair, where we feel lost and lack a clear vision for the future. We may experience hopelessness and helplessness, believing that we will never feel whole again. Our minds can feel enveloped in a perpetual fog, draining us of the energy needed to navigate through it. Depression can become so overwhelming that we might entertain thoughts of self-harm, whether to end our life or inflict physical pain to alleviate emotional suffering. In those dark moments, our minds might convince us that these are the only rational options or the only way out of our bleak situation.
Sometimes, it takes the intervention of a family member or friend to encourage us to seek help. Other times, a small inner voice prompts us to reach out to an unbiased and objective professional. As your therapist, I offer a compassionate, empathetic, and sensitive approach to managing depression. I believe that overcoming this fog requires careful, deliberate steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed or discouraged. My goal is to empower and equip you to regain control of your life through tailored therapy.

Depression
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating depression symptoms and related disorders for many years such that it is an area in which I have particular experience. You and I will examine the component parts of your symptoms such as emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. We’ll then examine how these parts are connected and how they impact each other. I’ll help you create changes to one or more of these parts to achieve your desired symptom relief.
