South Pasadena Therapists specializing in Depression

Lauren Rodarte

I am passionate about helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. If you are feeling overwhelmed or stuck, know that you don't need to go through this alone.

Lauren Permenter

Early experiences influence the way we act and engage in the world. Without time to reflect we can get stuck in habits and patterns that are meant to protect us but prevent us from true connection with others and the present. Together we will identify root causes of the behaviors and repeated actions that no longer serve you. We will practice being vulnerable. Clients who are serious about making changes while maintaining a sense of humor when needed will do well in this practice together.

JACINDA MITCHELL

Through psychotherapy, I support teens, adults, and couples of color find their voices and live their best lives. Whether it be anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship struggles, my job as your therapist is to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment. Using empathetic listening, curiosity, humor, and - most importantly - collaboration, I will help you to embrace your strengths and empower yourself to find and follow the path of your true authentic being. Together, I believe I can he

Natasha Hamlin

I have worked with children, teens, adults, and families in multiple settings including community mental health, foster care, schools, and in private practice. Through my experience in these settings I have been able to help many different types of clients with a variety of issues. I use a collaborative approach so that together, we can explore challenges, and strengthen your ability to cope and problem solve in order to help you reach your goals.

Holly Evans

I work with women and feminine identifying people who have experienced traumas (C-PTSD, PTSD, sexual, physical, emotional abuse, birth related traumas, infertility/pregnancy loss, TFMR, NICU experience, infant loss); and parents experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Justin Wong

Life can often be stressful and challenging. You’re here because you’re dissatisfied with something in your life and feel stuck. It could be persistent anxiety, excessive sadness, a difficult memory, or a relationship issue. Perhaps it has been hard to gather the motivation to make positive changes in your life. Having better control over your mood can often seem hopeless, but you CAN make things better.

Chun Mei Lam

I am passionate about working with Asian Americans, children of immigrants/refugees, and people of color in addressing discontent in their present day lives. I understand how deep systemic problems, traumatic events, one's upbringing, and family issues can all contribute to uncertainty, stress, anxiety, and dis-ease. At times, it can become difficult to know our needs, use our voices, follow our dreams, or connect to our calm within. Therapy can help us reconnect to these parts of ourselves.

Ericka Logan Moreno

My clients are the perfect combination of moody/sarcastic with a heavy dose of dry/dark humor. They struggle to show up as their authentic self because they're burdened with feeling lost, stuck, and unworthy of happiness. They compare themselves to others, experience negative thoughts, low motivation and suffer from anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma. Despite a guarded exterior, they yearn for someone to acknowledge their pain. Starting therapy has helped them process pain and thrive.

Molly Burrets

I work with couples and women - helping them to build healthier relationships and work on common painful issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, infidelity, trauma, transition to parenthood, perinatal concerns, infertility, sexual problems, difficulty communicating, past sexual abuse, and other stressors. Many of my clients are high achieving professionals in entertainment, art, law, finance, and sport that have challenges juggling work responsibilities with their roles in the home.

Ashley Ross

Dr. Christine Nazarian

If you've been feeling down, nervous, sad, worried, uncomfortable, or unconnected with life --- you may ask -how do we get out of this "funk"?-- I am here to help and create a space to honor your experiences, actively listen, and thoughtfully reflect. I will support you in practicing mindfulness skills, creative art therapy tools, kick-starting pro-active changes, and growing self-love (cause you deserve it! - YES, YOU!)

Darshana Lele

You've survived a lot in life, but struggle to feel like it's behind you. You are usually the one emotionally taking care of others, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, & yet never feel good-enough. Have you been marginalized? Scared of having a 'target' on your back or afraid of being found out? That's lonely but as much as you love being around others, they drain you. If you are fed up of living for others, I am someone who wants to help you feel safe, be successful & most importantly, happy.

Kyla Winner-Connor

I have worked with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, psychosis, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and more. I am certified in several modalities including CBT and IPT and integrate these with many other approaches such as mindfulness, self-compassion and somatic work. I also pull from concepts such as attachment theory, interpersonal and affective neurobiology, and the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Blake Barber

Whether you are experiencing anxiety about the future or depression related to current or past circumstances, do not give up hope! This may be the perfect time to begin to discover calm and contentment in your life and achieve your potential to be happy and fulfilled.

Leandra Soop

You maybe wanting more for your life, but you don’t know how to create the change and you don’t know where to start. You maybe feeling stuck and unable to make important decisions for yourself because you are bogged down by overwhelming feelings, the difficulties in your relationships and the demands to “keep up” in life. I am here to help you unpack some of the pain and worry so that you can live a more meaningful and connected life.

Allison Carter

Together we will figure out what happened, or what is going on now, that is triggering depression for you. As we work to understand what is driving your depression, we will also collaborate to discover strategies for helping you feel better and start to build a life that feels worth living.

Patricia Lamas Alvarez

You are here today because you fear your relationship is at a point of no return. You feel disconnected, unseen, misunderstood, and emotionally alone. You feel like you are no longer a couple, and you have become enemies. You no longer tend to your partner's needs because you are needing to protect your own. You are in a constant dance of pursuing and withdrawing from one another. If this sounds like your relationship, you are stuck in a cycle of disconnection and self protection.

Viridiana Rodriguez

I applaud you for taking the first step towards in your healing journey. Life can throw us some unexpected challenges, yet we have the power within to overcome them. Perhaps you are currently struggling with relationships, family of origin dynamics, unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger, or feelings of self-doubt. I am here to validate your experience and help you navigate these challenges.

Jimmy Huynh

I often work with adults who are struggling with life transitions (i.e. college, adulthood, relationships, etc.) that create anxiety and depression. These struggles can make you feel guilty, ashamed, directionless, and self-critical. It is my passion to help you find meaning and purpose in navigating these fierce waters to be your true self.
