Depression
Dr. Cristal Lopez
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Welcome! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families.
For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together.
Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I specialize and publish work in: coping with chronic illnesses, career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families. I’m committed to guiding you, your child, or family to a more connected and fulfilling life. Invest in yourself!

Depression
Julie Levin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Depression in the context of a challenging family member makes so much sense. This is different from the kind of depression that is organic and arises out of nowhere. Instead, this is a normal response to an abnormal situation. When you feel chronically stressed, overwhelmed, and stuck, your brain tries to protect you, kind of like a rolly-poly bug. You pull inward, lose interest in activities, need more sleep, and feel blah because your brain is conserving energy until you can find a solution. As you discover new ways to cope and feel less fear and guilt about taking care of your own needs, you may find your energy, enthusiasm, lightness, and joy gradually return.

Anat Sideman
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT
Symptoms of depression are the smoke that alerts us to an underlying fire. You may have experienced a tragedy, or a traumatic event. Perhaps your relationship is triggering pain, your marriage is in trouble, or your child is suffering. You may notice a gradual decline in your sense of wellbeing, problems sleeping, changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, body aches, a growing sense of hopelessness or feeling that things are out of control. Whatever is causing your distress, you don’t have to manage it alone. Together, we can find kindness and compassion, create a safe space for your feelings, better understand your needs, prioritize your self-care, and identify tools that will help you feel more empowered and hopeful again.

Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Depression can show up in subtle ways for high-functioning people. You may continue leading, creating, or meeting responsibilities while privately feeling exhausted, disconnected, or overwhelmed. For founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals, depression often develops alongside chronic stress, burnout, and pressure to keep performing. Through trauma-informed therapy, narrative work, and nervous system regulation, we address the deeper patterns contributing to depression so you can reconnect with meaning, emotional steadiness, and a greater sense of vitality.

Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Depression can feel heavy and isolating and can make it difficult to get through the day to day. I work with individuals experiencing depression in a compassionate, supportive, and collaborative way. I understand that depression is shaped by life experiences, stress, biology, and patterns that develop over time. Together, we’ll explore what’s contributing to how you’re feeling and identify practical, meaningful steps toward relief.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral and insight-oriented techniques, and is tailored to your unique needs. Whether your depression is connected to trauma, life transitions, or ongoing stress, I help you build skills to shift unhelpful thought patterns, reconnect with a sense of purpose, and gradually restore motivation and balance. You don’t have to navigate depression alone. With the right support, it is possible to feel more engaged, hopeful, and connected to your life again.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Depression is different than sadness. A degree of sadness is healthy and keeps frame on the other aspects of life that provide joy and connection. Depression is a clinical term for overwhelm that affects your relationships and interaction with the world. If you're identifying with Depression it's imperative that we get you help immediately, get you some support and turn things around.

Santa Ana is one of the most densely populated cities in the United States and has an overwhelmingly Latino population — predominantly Mexican American, with significant Central American communities — making Spanish-speaking and bicultural therapists not a specialty but a baseline requirement for meaningful access to care. The city's families navigate a complex mix of immigration stress, economic precarity, and the particular challenges of raising children across cultures, and therapists fluent in both language and cultural context serve an essential community function. CHOC Children's and the broader Orange County healthcare system provide institutional mental health resources, though access can be limited by insurance and immigration-related barriers. Telehealth has meaningfully expanded therapy access for Santa Ana residents who prefer culturally matched care over what is available locally.
