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.

Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression is typically defined by some combination of a persistently low mood, lack of interest in activities that used to give you joy, feelings of hopelessness, sleeping too much or too little, and/or eating too much or too little.
Sometime feeling depressed may lead you to feeling alone. Even so, it's estimated that 16 million Americans experience depression in any given year. Depression is a scientifically recognized condition. I am trained and certified in several research-based types of therapy for depression, yet I understand that the source of your depression is unique to your circumstance. There's no one-size-fits-all solution. Together, we will explore what's troubling you and our therapy to your needs.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst
Depression often feels like a heavy weight, obscuring joy and motivation. Psychoanalytic therapy offers a unique lens to explore the unconscious roots of depression. We'll work together to uncover hidden conflicts, past losses, or negative self-beliefs that may be fueling your low mood. By bringing these unconscious elements to light, we can understand their impact and develop new ways of coping. This journey can lead to a renewed sense of purpose, increased emotional resilience, and a brighter outlook on life.
