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.

Depression

Monica M. Huston

Depression can feel like a loss of energy, motivation, and connection to yourself and others. Rather than only addressing symptoms, I work with individuals to understand the underlying emotional and relational factors contributing to these experiences. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness, processing difficult feelings, and gradually rebuilding a sense of meaning, connection, and engagement in life.

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.
