Depression Therapy
Depression is not simply a matter of “feeling down” or lacking willpower; it is a complex condition that can be influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. When left untreated, it interferes with one’s relationships, work, physical health, and overall quality of life.
Psychotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for depression as it provides a structured and supportive environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with a trained professional. Our skilled therapists can help you gain a better understanding of the patterns that contribute to depression, such as negative thinking, unresolved trauma, past experiences, or unhealthy coping strategies. This increased self-awareness is often a crucial first step toward meaningful change.
The experts at Los Feliz Psychotherapy utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), somatic therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and other proven modalities to help you identify and explore all of the factors that contribute to depressive symptoms. We offer a safe space for individuals to express feelings without judgment, which can reduce isolation and shame. And we help our clients learn new skills and perspectives in order to feel more empowered and better equipped to manage stress and emotional pain.
This is a team of compassionate, skilled therapists and if you are considering starting therapy, I cannot recommend them enough. From EMDR to anxiety therapy, they have your therapy needs covered.

Christina patiently helped me discover the root of my anxieties, and introduced me to EMDR which gave me a way to process and release stored trauma.

“Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.”
