Mission Viejo, California therapist: Brittan Zamora, marriage and family therapist
Depression

Brittan Zamora

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, PMH-C
Depression can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or not like yourself anymore, it can be hard to imagine things changing. I work with individuals who feel weighed down by low mood, loss of motivation, or a sense of numbness, and who want support finding their way back to themselves. My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in mindfulness to help you gently reconnect with your inner experience without judgment or pressure. In our work together, we’ll focus on building coping skills that support you in day-to-day life, especially during moments when getting through the day feels heavy. Therapy is a space to move at your pace, explore what’s been holding you back, and develop tools to manage difficult thoughts and emotions with greater self-compassion. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, hopeful, and aligned with who you truly are, supporting you as you take meaningful steps forward, one small step at a time.

Valencia, California therapist: TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA, licensed psychoanalyst
Depression

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA

Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
I understand Depression and Depressive Disorders (including Psychotic Depression) as the result of loss. It is the mind/body's response to a normal but difficult aspect of all of our lives. Things get depressed and depressing when we all experience loss. This can be any kind of loss: relationships, family, work, dreams, friendships, school achievements, and/or something special to us. At times Depression can overwhelm any of us. I treat Depression and Depressive Disorders with both mind and body: analysis one or twice per week, supplements for the brain, diet and exercise, and the creation of "flow experiences" for the patient. Connection, attachment, and trust are very important here in the therapeutic relationship as part of the healing process. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.

Laguna Beach, California therapist: The Mindful Life with Lori Kahn, life coach
Depression

The Mindful Life with Lori Kahn

Life Coach, Certified Integrative Coach, Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher
Depression has the sensation of being stuck and unable to lift ourselves out of that hole. With mindful self compassion we can begin to work with the feelings that come up that seem to keep us stuck and notice that in fact these feelings have a wide range of experience. We become more comfortable with moving through this range and the space grows to be able to move through the depression rather than feel stuck in it.
