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.
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.

Depression can grow on you. Once you experience it, you must find a way out of it or it becomes you. Depression can develop because of loss, trauma, chemical imbalance, or chronic pain and other reasons. Some people believe they have been depressed all their lives. I will help you figure out what is feeding it and how you can get out from under it. We will explore the best way to treat your depression. That includes an assessment, psychotherapy with or without medication or Lifespan Integration to help you out of your depression.

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!

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.

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.
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.
Kelly Wilcoxson, , MA, MFT Intern #66475
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.
