San Francisco, California therapist: James Norwood, psychologist
Depression

James Norwood

Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
Depression is endemic to the human experience. We all experience it at some point or another, though some of us to a far greater degree. Working through depression often requires us to confront some of the painful loss, disappointment, heartbreak, and hopelessness that life can occasion. There seems to be no better way to do that than with another person.

San Francisco, California therapist: Miriam Adrianowicz, psychologist
Depression

Miriam Adrianowicz

Psychologist, PsyD
Many people who struggle with depression feel alone and isolated, while in fact, depression is a surprisingly common human experience. Part of what is so important is knowing that you are not alone, that you matter, and that it is possible to feel better. Depending on the severity of your depression, you may not believe any of these things at first, but my job is to hold onto the hope for you until you're ready to take it on yourself. Medication can be very helpful for some people, and I can work with your prescriber to find what works for you should you want to try it. Depression is complex, and when severe, we can feel stuck and "beyond help." It can be hard to believe therapy can be beneficial because of depression's influence on our sense of self-worth, agency, and motivation. We'll work together to manage your symptoms, which may likely begin with understanding them. I think of depression as a lead jacket (like at the dentist) that weighs you down as you navigate life, and dark sunglass that create a skewed lens through which you see the world. Let's take off that jacket and those sunglasses, help you feel lighter, and create a new way of being in the world.

San Francisco, California therapist: Judith Nitchie, counselor/therapist
Depression

Judith Nitchie

Counselor/Therapist, LMFT36770
Gloom, hopelessness, unrelenting sadness can lead to feelings of inadequacy and thoughts of 'what's the point?' Depression can interfere with work performance, making it difficult to concentrate or complete tasks; the quality of our relationships and feelings of connection can also suffer. When we have a place to process and to learn new skills we can learn to manage, and even reverse, these feelings and thoughts that keep us from living life to its fullest.

New York City, New York therapist: Make Marriage Better, psychologist
Depression

Make Marriage Better

Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we understand depression as an experience rooted in unresolved fears and unmet needs. Using the Deconstructing Anxiety™ model, we help clients uncover the core fears that contribute to depressive feelings, such as loss of love, identity and especially loss of meaning. These fears can lead to defenses like withdrawal or self-criticism, which, though intended to protect, often deepen the sense of isolation and helplessness. By guiding clients to do the opposite of these defenses in a structured and supportive way, we open a pathway to connection, self-compassion, and renewed purpose. This process empowers individuals to move beyond depressive patterns and reclaim a sense of joy, resilience, and fulfillment in their relationships and lives.

Depression

David Oretsky Psychotherapy

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is a challenging mental health condition that extends beyond momentary feelings of sadness, leading to a sustained sense of sorrow, disinterest in once-enjoyed activities, and difficulty with everyday tasks. It's not just an occasional down day; it's a continuous struggle that can persist. Symptoms can vary, potentially bringing about sleep or appetite changes, feelings of guilt, or even suicidal thoughts. As a therapist specializing in mindfulness and somatic-based interventions, I'm here to compassionately guide you. Depression is treatable, and through our therapeutic journey together, we'll harness the power of mindful awareness and body-centered techniques to foster resilience, self-compassion, and healing.

Depression

I am one of the few (only?) therapists, who understands the connection between depression and low blood sugar. Low blood sugar is an epidemic due to SAD: Standard American Diet. My protocols for fixing diet are mostly effortless. Once low blood sugar is stablized, THEN you we release and heal the root causes of the depression, most often found in childhood.

Depression

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.
