Depression
Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Depression is a space of contemplation, of deep rest, a space where the body, mind and spirit can hide from the loudly spinning world, and just take a break. And yet, it is the nature of life to grow, and we struggle to grow when in the stasis of depression. What purpose does our depression have? What is it trying to teach us? What is it protecting us from?

Depression
Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Do you feel like there is a dark cloud over you? Maybe you've tried to talk about your depression with friends or family. Maybe you've already tried therapy, and nothing seemed to work. Overtime, you start feeling bad for even talking about it. When it's shared, it can feel like you're causing people unneeded pain and suffering, so you keep it in and your isolate from others not because you don't love them or want to be around them but because you don't want to hurt them. If any of this resembles your experience, I want to start by acknowledging how hard this is and assure you it doesn't have to hurt this bad. For years now I've been helping client's shake their depression and rise above their "dark cloud." with a combination of inner frameworks and outer skills. Not only will I be giving you practical tools you can use today but we will also be working together to cultivate mindsets that lead to a happier more fulfilling life. Interested? Let's connect.

Depression
Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression tells you that nothing will help. Depression tells you to give up. Depression tells you to hide out. That no one will get it. Together, we will turn depression on its ugly head and take your life back, one tiny step at a time. A confident and experienced therapist like myself will sometimes hold your hand and other times give you a nudge you when you need it. I have seen real improvement in the toughest situations. Life does get better.

Santa Monica combines proximity to the entertainment industry with a strong wellness culture, creating demand for therapists who specialize in performance anxiety, the pressures of creative and entertainment careers, identity, and the particular stresses of living adjacent to fame and public scrutiny. The area's affluent demographic and beach lifestyle coexist with significant rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship distress, and the Westside has a notably high density of experienced therapists relative to its size. Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health provide institutional mental health anchors for the Westside community. Many Santa Monica therapists also serve clients from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the broader Westside corridor.
