Understanding Depression, Grief & Loss

Therapy For Depression & Grief

In Huntington Park | Southeast Los Angeles | Long Beach

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges, weighed down by a sense of darkness or heaviness? Maybe you’re struggling to sit with feelings that are overwhelming you. Many individuals starting therapy for depression often find themselves feeling trapped, unable to move forward, or regain the joy and pleasure they once felt. Depression and grief can be experienced by anyone at any point in life; it’s universal and unique to each person. If you're struggling with depression or navigating the pain of loss, it's important to remember that what you're feeling is valid. You don't have to go through this on your own, and seeking support is a courageous step toward healing.

If you’d like to read more about grief, I’ve written blogs about it here and here.

    • Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or loneliness

    • Low energy or motivation

    • Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy

    • Negative thoughts, self-talk and feelings of inadequacy

  • Loss comes in many forms, including:

    • Loss of employment

    • Divorce or separation

    • Family estrangement

    • Loss of control over circumstances

    • Major life transitions

  • I want to assure you that while our society may not openly discuss it, what you’re going through is a common experience. Psychotherapy can help you discover and regain a sense of control and satisfaction in your life.

    Imagine if you could:

    • Feel lighter

    • Quiet the inner critic that tells you you're not good enough

    • Learn to put your needs first without guilt

    • Be kinder to yourself

    • Build more meaningful connection with others
