Discover a Life Your Want to Live Instead Of Dread
Your life is exhausting. From feeling like an imposter at work, to comparing yourself to others. At times you just want to sleep through it all instead struggling with never feeling good enough in anything. You wonder what is the point of life when you feel this sad.
You long to escape your emotional pain. The shame and guilt drown you no matter how hard you try. You just can’t overcome your past experiences and losses and don’t know how to cope. Secretly, you feel you are undeserving of unconditional love even though you desperately want someone else to take care of you, for once. Even when you tried antidepressant medications, you felt numb to your emotions and were never able to really move beyond the feeling of depression..
Through psychotherapy, we help people (like Ethnic/Racial minorities, LGBTQIA and Couples) who are struggling with depression gain self-insight and acceptance. We also teach coping skills with a deeper understanding of why you think and behave or feel the way you do, thus changing your life for the better. Individuals and couples from many minority cultures struggle with depression but tend to take care of their family members by hiding their emotions and thus, increasing their feeling of loneliness and despair, by suffering alone.
Depression Isolation can worsen feelings of hopelessness
Initially your therapist will take the time to understand your experience of everything from the mundane to major life events. From there we take a deep dive into how your past influences where you are now and how to work through making changes so that you can undo these patterns of depression. Our therapists work eclectically by pulling from multiple modalities such as Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness Meditation & Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. This is not your typical psychotherapy session you may have dabbled in! Expect to laugh, cry, snicker (or snort) curse (oh yeah., I think cursing can be healthy and cathartic), cringe and grow.
Suicide is a poor solution to ‘solving’ Depression
Therapy is just like training for a marathon. The first few times it will hurt and you may even feel like quitting; but if you decide to stick with it, we will put our heart and soul into getting you in emotional, psychological and intellectual shape. Being in therapy means that from this moment on, you will always have someone by your side, helping and guiding you, while also prioritizing your needs.
