Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy works as well as medication for many people. It may be used alone or in combination with other approaches, including exercise and optimal nutrition. Studies have shown that psychotherapy can cause changes in brain function similar to those produced by medications. Focused, goal-oriented forms of therapy such as cognitive-behavior therapy appear to be the most effective in treating depression.

Altagracia "Grace" Akopyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #145795
Have you ever felt as if you had a mental block? This block prevents you from moving forward, thinking about something else and most of all changing your emotions. When someone gets in a negative downward spiral and find it very difficult to get out of it is probably because you don’t know how to. This might sound crazy, but most people who suffer with anxiety and depression start out in this same mental state that I just described. As a california marriage and family therapist and professor, I teach psychotherapists how to help clients who are in this exact mental state. There’s a cognitive behavioral therapeutic approach known as CBT that touches on something called distortions. The best way that I can explain the distortions is by having you think of those disgusting negative messages that replays in your head. This message often makes you feel horrible, worthless, stuck and like there’s no point. CBT allows you to take back control of those distortions in order to help you change your mindset to reduce or get rid of that anxiety. Feel free to schedule a session with me to see if I will be a good fit for you.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalytic Candidate
Depression often feels like a heavy weight, obscuring joy and motivation. Psychoanalytic therapy offers a unique lens to explore the unconscious roots of depression. We'll work together to uncover hidden conflicts, past losses, or negative self-beliefs that may be fueling your low mood. By bringing these unconscious elements to light, we can understand their impact and develop new ways of coping. This journey can lead to a renewed sense of purpose, increased emotional resilience, and a brighter outlook on life.
