C. Girvani Leerer, Ph.D.
Depression can express in many ways - low energy, sadness and tearfulness, unresolved grief, irritability and anger, loss of enjoyment and interest, sleep problems, under- and over-eating, and substance abuse. Depression is very common - if you think you may be depressed, you probably are. You can suffer from chronic low-level depression, as well as from more severe forms of depression.
I work with you to discover the root causes of your depression, to heal old wounds, and change old limiting beliefs that contribute to your depression. Using a combination of treatments, together we can get you back on track so you can experience more joy, success, and fulfillment in your life.
Lawrence Tunis, Ed.D, LMFT
I am of the opinion that feelings of depression are most offten associated with unexpressed or unacknowledged deep-seated feelings of anger that we hold on to for one reason or other. Because every human behavior has a purpose, holding on to one's anger in the form of depression has some "secondary" gain for the individual, perhaps putting one in the victim's role and otherwise allowing us to feel a sense of control in situtions where we may feel out of control. However, there is a great price to pay for this in terms of a loss of aliveness and joy in one's life. I help people who are stuck in their depression to get to the other side.

That includes an assessment, psychotherapy with or without medication or Lifespan Integration to help you out of your depression.

Everyone experiences disappointments and discouragements in life. Broken relationships, shattered dreams, loss of jobs, homes, relationship partners, chronic illness or pain they can all lead to depression. The task of a therapist is, first to listen caringly and carefully to assist a client become aware of the cause of depression and to assist in discovering a way to cope life's difficulties in a helpful way. At times this mean, taking a fearless inventory of one's way of looking at and dealing with life situations, becoming realistic about one's actual life situation accompanied by making cognitive and behavioral changes and at times seeking medical help.

Depression is usually very treatable. As an Oakland depression therapist, I help people with depression work through their pain and take steps to feel better again. I use traditional talk therapy techniques as well as empirically proven therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness based therapy, and EMDR. Exciting new research is proving the effectiveness of combining meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, for depression, and I am excited to offer this therapy to my clients. As a somatic therapist, I am also able to help you work with your body to change the physical symptoms of depression. I help adults & children heal and recover from depressive disorders.
Dino Di Donato, MFT, MS, M.Ed Counseling
Depression is physical as well as psychological experience. It may appear with or without direct or immediate triggers..We learn to manage it to prevent it from overwhelming us. By using Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Constructivist Psychotherapy we can pay discover the personal narrative and thought-emotional processes that work to sustain depression. By working to identify and then change the narrative or thought process we begin to gain some control over the mood. We also employ established, effective personal practices to nurture and develop means of countering the mood. We may not be able to erase the past or the mod but we can change our relationship to it.
Gene Grossman, Ph.D, CA MFT 6276
If you haven't experienced depression at some point in your life, you are either a master of denial or have been asleep at the wheel. Depression is the result of the repressed anger we feel towards ourselves that give rise to shame, guilt, and despair. When we experience feelings of rejection, abandonment or exploitation they are often so painful that we cannot tolerate facing them. We become defensive, touchy, irritable. Effective therapy makes it possible for us face ourselves in ways which we have previously avoided or denied. Depression constricts our range of emotion. We go about our lives in half-hearted ways. We lack the ability to fully engage or fully commit. The key is reconnect!
Jody Roberts, MFT
Depression has a way of directing your thoughts and feelings to the heavy and dark so that it becomes difficult to see the light in your life. Daily life seems to require more effort than you have energy for. You may have noticed how you’re no longer interested in or enjoy doing things you used to do and have withdrawn from friends and family. Maybe you’re sleeping too little or too much. Or, you don’t feel good about who you are. To help you invest in yourself and reclaim your life we’ll explore how your negative thought and behavior patterns impact your sense of life.
We’ll explore the impact of holding on to past and present grudges and resentments, having difficulty setting clear and....

Our thoughts, behaviors and our emotions are all strongly connected. Change one of these three and the others have to shift as well. Cognitive-behavioral therapy relies on these connections to give you some control back over your depression. Studies have shown Cognitive-behavioral therapy to be a highly-effective treatment for depression, with or without medication. Different types of depression require different types of treatment. I work with each client to fully understand their unique experience of depression. We can work together to build on existing skills and find new ways to help you manage your mood.

During therapy, we will define the depression, explore its depths and examine treatment modalities. If your style of learning is simply talking, we’ll engage in a trial of reflecting, listening or, perhaps, silence. We may work from a notebooks, textbooks, journals, videos and movies.
We’ll think and talk about: regret, loss, fear, self-esteem, “what I’ve done,” “what I’ve haven’t done.” We’ll see if you have thoughts that: others are better educated, more interesting, more clever, socially adept or self-confident. We’ll look at your views on your ability to change, the future, past life experiences and checking in on the “here and now.” Medication is a consideration, if needed.

Do you feel like you are dragging yourself through life and just can't get your energy and interest back? You could be suffering from depression, which can be a debilitating dis-ease. I will help you to discover feelings that could be underneath your depression that need to be processed. We will also look at your negative thinking that contributes to your feeling down. Setting manageable goals, expressing your wants and needs, increasing social interactions, and exercise are also helpful ways to alleviate depression. We will work together to find out what is specifically driving your depression, and explore what methods work best for you.
Jane Steinberg, MFT
Depression has many faces, but it often feels like a cloud of darkness has descended over the world and the light cannot get through. You may have lost someone or something deeply important to you and the world has no meaning any more. You have lost touch with your deepest self and cannot find your way. Together, we will work to help you explore the source of your depression, move through and resolve all of your feelings and experiences, and access what has joy, meaning and purpose for you on the way towards creating the life that you most deeply want.
Mark Hirschfield
Depression can be a very debilitating condition which for many therapists is difficult to work with. I have a great deal of success and extensive experience working with depression. I first asses the clients' condition and then aid them with behavioral and cognitive techniques which will swiftly begin to free them from their inertia. If necessary we will then work with the underlying issues to hold these new found positive feelings in a permanent place.

A combination of individual and group therapy is the treatment of choice for the person suffering from long standing depression. Matching the individual with the appropriate constellation of members is a skill in and of itself. Depression is often experienced as an alienated and isolated existence. Being able to present oneself genuinely is a real gift for the person as well as his/her group.

If you are reading this, thinking that you might be depressed, you probably are.
Even if one is used to it, depression sucks the life energy out of a person, dampening their ability to concentrate, to be creative or have hope for a good future. Depression is different from the blues, which may last just a day or two. Depression can be mild, moderate or severe, but left unchecked, it can become chronic.
Please call or email me so I can help you to assess where you are right now in terms of depression, and the feelings that often become mixed with it such as anxiety and frustration.
If we determine that therapy might be useful for you, call me and let's find a time to meet.

As your therapist, I witness the stuck places and the wonderful places you can go to. I'll help you slow down inside and check those places out more and explore the experience of them. I'll guide you and help you. Most of the times people find that relying on their knowledge of their behaviors alone haven't gotten them very far out of those stuck places. So, together in therapy we'll get under that piece to help you create a change. The sessions I hold are practical, warm, and interactive. I encourage bravery, humor, authenticity, and personal empowerment. I support you exactly where you are, and gently but firmly guide you to where you'd like to be.
Cressida Forester, Psy.D.
Maybe you're depressed and nobody even knows your feeling that way; or everyone thinks they know, and they're telling you how to get over it, and to hurry. That advice usually backfires, and makes you feel worse. Recovery from depression is possible, but takes its own time. I am not afraid of sitting with you and those bleak, empty, hopeless feelings, whether you can talk about them or not. While I can certainly give advice if that's useful, I'd rather help you understand what's causing your depression and help you feel through it in your own way - the way it actually works. Gradually, with some ups and downs, you can get a better grip on your life and relationships, and feel better.

Unlike the blues, depression is a dark place where you lose interest in the things you use to enjoy, like: friends, daily activities, and work. Even getting out of bed may seem like a challenge.
A key ingredient for successful therapy is a good, trusting relationship between patient and therapist. Empirically supported treatments like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, CBT, can be as effective as antidepressants. As an experienced therapist I can help you apply specific skills to change the impact of negative thoughts and depression on your life.

Whether it is hitting you this once or has haunted you pervasively, depression is an experience that can quietly devastate your life. The clouds of hopelessness and helplessness may shroud everything.
It is in this place of not wanting to move, to be seen, or to act in anyway that it becomes most critical to find help.
I have never met anyone in my personal or professional life who was undeserving or beyond help. There is always a cause for this feeling that, once identified and targeted, can be addressed effectively. Often, there is more than relief around the corner, but in fact a deeper sense of appreciation and satisfaction awaiting you.
You are welcome to land here, to fall apart
Dan Quinn, Psy.D.
If you're stuck, it can feel like your own mind is against you, pulling you down into a swamp. It usually has to do with imagining that you are helpless - and while it might seem that you ARE helpless, it's really important to get in to talk to a therapist to get past that idea, and get moving forward again. Let's break it down into manageable pieces and get you activated and engaged in life.

My approach to treating depression is based on the nature, level and depresssion history of a particular client. In addition to providing safety for a person to express themselves freely, we build internal and external resources, e.g. lifestyle and social support, exercise. I also teach mindfulness and sensorimotor skills that interrupt the depressive patterns that take place in mind and body. Gradually changing self defeating relationship patterns can also relieve depression. A majority of my clients find depression decreases significantly with these methods. For some, depressive symptoms may be more entrenched, in which case medication has been used as an additional support.
Claudia Sinay-Mosias, MFT, MHA
Depression is a complex and disturbing experience. While it exists in several forms, it is different from normal sadness over a loss or upset over trying circumstances. Depression can be paralyzing and leads to a loss of perspective, which can then lead to poor choices and consequently, more depression. I work with depression in several ways including cognitive behavioral approaches to address your thoughts and actions that are contributing or at least sustaining your depression. I also use depth therapy whereby we explore the deeper meaning of your depression and what, if anything, it may have to offer you in terms of increased awareness of your life and the general experience of life.
Kathryn Kinsey, LCSW
Depression affects up to twenty percent of us at some time in our lives. At times the cause may be situational and the resolution involves clarifying options, getting support from the significant people in our lives, and understanding that "this too shall pass.". This may be supplemented with relaxation exercises, meditative practices, and medications if necessary. More chronic depressions may need longer term counseling, collaboration with the primary care physician or referral for medications to a psychiatrist. Some useful adjuncts may include progressive relaxation, family counseling, exercise, and spiritual guidance.

We can then begin to identify strengths and resources to start the process of moving you forward and out of the depths of your darkness. You can attain a more satisfying and productive life - one in which getting out of bed is not the biggest challenge of your day. Make that life saving phone call today and I will walk through this with you.

In the emotional landscape of every life, there are peaks and valleys – natural places we arrive at defined by the highness of joy or the lowness of sorrow. But for some, the lowness is unrelenting. Do you feel forever locked in a valley, unable to find a way out of the feelings of disinterest, inadequacy, and darkness?
Psychotherapy is a proven method to bringing down those blocks that keep you locked away from the life you want to lead, the relationships you want to foster, and the bliss you want to revel in.
Esther Lerman, M.A., M.F.T.
Depression can have many different sources: isolation, unresolved loss, unconscious anger turned against the self, feelings of shame, inadequacy and low self-esteem. It is sometimes experienced as a kind of deadness or emptiness, an absence of feeling. Therapy offers you the opportunity to get to the bottom of what is troubling you, to find your way to solutions. By talking through your issues and feelings you know what you need to do to change and you have support for taking the steps to make the change happen. Everyone needs to feel heard and understood, to feel empathy for their suffering, in order to do this. I offer this empathy, support and guidance to you.
