Santa Cruz Therapists specializing in Depression

Inga Knudson

Many of my clients come in describing a combination of internal distress and relationship concerns. They may be part of a partnership or single, experiencing a loss or a change, parenting or maybe a youth. Many describe current concerns around depression or anxiety. I work with children, youth, couples/relationships, young adults and family systems. I work with people from a beautifully diverse palette of the human experience; culturally, ethnically, sexually, mixed and diverse people.

I want to understand the nuances of your story. Maybe you have doubts about seeking help, or last time you tried therapy it didn’t work out. You are thinking about change now though, and I want to know why. What is important to you? Where do you see yourself when our work is done? I’d be honored to talk with you a few times as you continue trying new things and moving toward where you want to be.

Somatic psychotherapy enlists the innate intelligence of the body as a catalyst for health. Because mind-body disconnect is often related to our deepest emotional wounds, attunement to our body’s responses to stressors is essential to healing. By bringing awareness to how our emotions, sensations, thoughts, images and memories interconnect and influence each other, somatic psychology brings us home to ourselves.

Lena Axelsson

Do you have a sense that you are not living life to its fullest? Many people in our culture have suffered some form of trauma in childhood or their adult life, essentially trauma is anything that causes a person to feel worthless helpless, insecure, or even endangered. This type of deep experience impacts the whole being and dictates the way we function in our lives. Many times this comes with not believing things can get better, but they can! My many years of experience has showed me this!

You might find yourself not wanting to get out of bed, and only wanting your dog to keep you company. Maybe you are going through a breakup and are having a hard time finding yourself again. You may feel an emptiness and you don't know why. Whoever you are and wherever your journey has taken you, you are safe here.

Do you lie awake at night with worry thoughts about not being enough, or because you are in the "spin cycle" of self judgement and anxiety?

You love your family and friends and life SHOULD be good, but you bounce between depression, anxiety and utter exhaustion. You want to be in a healthy relationship but somehow you always pull the escape cord. You are desperate to reduce your stress and anxiety, heal from your painful childhood, improve self esteem, and build confidence. You want to let go of the past trauma but you struggle with how to do it. It's time to take back your power and finally step into the life you seek.
