Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
You may look like you’re functioning on the outside, but internally everything feels heavy. Motivation is hard to come by, joy feels distant, and even small tasks can feel overwhelming. You may feel disconnected from yourself, emotionally numb, stuck in self-criticism, or unsure why life feels so hard right now.
Depression is not always just sadness—it can also be exhaustion, shutdown, hopelessness, irritability, or feeling like you’ve lost touch with yourself and the world around you. In our work, we’ll gently explore both the emotional and nervous system patterns contributing to what you’re carrying. Together, we can create movement, reconnect you with yourself, and help life begin to feel lighter and more meaningful again.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Depression can feel heavy and isolating—draining your energy, dulling your joy, and making even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Often, it is connected to unresolved grief, trauma, chronic stress, or deeply rooted beliefs of hopelessness or inadequacy. 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.
