Depression therapists in Los Osos, California CA
Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
Depression is more than sadness or numbness or a feeling of no energy. The primary emotions, like sadness, grief, discouragement, or loneliness can be difficult, but they're something a person can cope with. The difficulty with depression is that it's not a primary emotion, but a dysfunction of emotion. At the heart of depression is the fact that we are keeping something pressed down, which is the true meaning of de-pression. Often, people don't even know what they are keeping pressed down, and that's where therapy can help. As with all my work, I look for the root cause, so that a client can be truly free from the depression that has troubled them.

Depression takes over and saps us of our motivation and energy. Let's define those symptoms and get them under control so that you can live the life you want to live. I can help you identify negative thoughts and replace them with positive or constructive ones, find coping strategies, learn problem-solving techniques, set goals, understand the effects your life experiences have on your symptoms, and identify issues that contribute to your depression.

Many people suffer from depression in our society today. As two of the main characteristics are feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, I have sought to help restore hope and a sense of agency in the lives of people suffering from depression.
