There are several different kinds and origins of depression. It's important to diagnose accurately -- a physical depression? Situational depression? Hormonal? Or Psychological. Once diagnosed, proper treatment can begin. Often times, depression can be confused with grief.

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
You may look like you’re functioning on the outside, but everything feels heavier than it used to. It can be hard to find motivation, enjoy things you normally care about, or get yourself to do even small things. Maybe you feel numb or irritable, spend more time withdrawing from other people, or find yourself being especially hard on yourself.
You might not even think of yourself as depressed because you’re still getting up, going to work, taking care of people, and doing what needs to be done. But getting through the day takes more out of you than other people realize. In therapy, we’ll get curious about what you’ve been carrying and what might help you feel more present and engaged in your life again.

In therapy, we compassionately explore the underlying causes of your depression while building practical tools to restore motivation, emotional balance, and hope. Through evidence-based care and Christ-centered support, you’ll have a safe space to process your pain, reconnect with purpose, and move toward renewed strength and light.

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!

Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression is more than simply feeling sad. It can affect every part of your life, making it difficult to find motivation, experience joy, maintain relationships, or complete everyday tasks. You may feel emotionally numb, hopeless, exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself and the people around you. Even activities that once brought meaning or happiness can begin to feel like a struggle.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment for depression in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. Together, we'll explore the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms, including life stress, unresolved trauma, grief, relationship challenges, burnout, or negative patterns of thinking. Our goal is not only to reduce symptoms but also to help you reconnect with your strengths, values, and sense of purpose. Treatment is personalized to your unique needs and may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, behavioral activation, and other trauma-informed interventions. You'll learn practical strategies to challenge self-critical thoughts, improve emotional regulation, rebuild motivation, strengthen healthy routines, and develop effective coping skills that support lasting emotional wellness.
We understand that depression often affects more than your mood—it can impact your physical health, sleep, concentration, confidence, work, and relationships. Therapy provides a safe space to process difficult emotions, develop self-compassion, and gradually take meaningful steps toward healing at a pace that feels manageable and sustainable. You don't have to face depression alone. With the right support and evidence-based treatment, healing is possible. Together, we'll work toward helping you feel more connected, hopeful, resilient, and empowered to create a life that feels fulfilling and meaningful.

Fullerton is an Orange County city home to California State University Fullerton, one of the largest campuses in the Cal State system, and the city's mental health landscape is anchored by the significant mental health needs of a large, diverse student body that includes a high proportion of first-generation college students from Latino, Asian, and working-class backgrounds. CSUF's comprehensive counseling center is a key resource, and the city's diverse permanent population—with large Latino, Vietnamese, and Korean communities—creates demand for multilingual and culturally competent private therapy. Orange County behavioral health services extend to Fullerton, and the county's strong private therapy sector is accessible to residents across the area. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, first-generation college student challenges, family and intergenerational dynamics, anxiety, and the navigation of multiple cultural identities in a diverse suburban city.
