Galina Zlotnikova
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #83992
Depression is often viewed as a broad diagnosis encompassing many interconnected symptoms. The first step in treatment is to rule out any medical or physiological causes. From a trauma-informed perspective, depression can arise from a neurobiological response to overwhelming threat or sense of danger, where the mind and body resort to submission as a defense mechanism. In therapy, we work to help you identify and bring awareness to the parts of yourself that may feel the need to withdraw, remain invisible, experience shame, or give up on life. As these parts are gently explored and embraced, the intensity of depression can begin to shift and lessen over time.

Feeling down, sad and depressed at times is a normal part of the human condition. However when these feelings become pervasive, severe and/or disrupt your daily life, job, school, relationships or other life areas it can become scary and debilitating. I help people get to know the parts of themself that feels depressed, and address underlying needs and challenges that are connected to symptoms of depression.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Depression is largely caused by isolation. The more connections you have and the more activities you do, the less will be your depression. Low energy is a hallmark of depression and typically we don't have the energy to do the above, so we get into a negative spiral. Therapy can provide you with the support and encouragement you need so you can do the unnatural things that we all need to do to stay out of that darkness. Some people try medication and if they want to, I can work closely with the doctor to monitor the effects of medication.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is a space of contemplation, of deep rest, a space where the body, mind and spirit can hide from the loudly spinning world, and just take a break. And yet, it is the nature of life to grow, and we struggle to grow when in the stasis of depression. What purpose does our depression have? What is it trying to teach us? What is it protecting us from?

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Behind Depression is anger and behind the anger is the breakdown or dysfunction in our relationships. Over a lifetime, relational pain builds up, we suppress it cause we can't resolve it and we put up walls and pull away. We become more isolated and in the relational disconnection we lose joy in our life. If you are experiencing depression, call us, we can help you.
