Depression
Dr. Sophia Aguirre
Psychologist, Ph.D., CGP, F-AGPA
Depression can be a debilitating condition that robs your of your feelings of hope, passion and vibrancy. You don't have navigate depression on your own - I would be honored to walk alongside you to reconnect you with your feelings of joy. I utilize an Interpersonal/Relational approach to address struggles with depression. I believe not only that depressive symptoms can have a major impact on your relationships, but that your relationships themselves can have a major impact on your mental well-being, including struggles with depression or anxiety. I believe the key to managing depression is learning over time how to improve the relationship you have with your own self as well as those you have with others in your life.

Depression can range from mild to severe and, I believe, requires flexibility to treat as we all have different needs. I often utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Depression but tend to integrate other evidence based approaches based on each individual person.
