You don’t have to hide your heaviness. Our queer-affirming therapists in Los Angeles meet you where you are with curiosity and care.
Start Feeling Understood
Depression therapy is a space to untangle what feels too heavy to carry alone. Here, you can build a relationship with a therapist who helps you name what’s happening, explore how it’s been shaped, and begin to feel a shift. This kind of therapy can look different for everyone, but at its core, it offers a safe and affirming place to be witnessed without judgment or pressure.
Talk to Someone Who Gets It
Depression therapy offers structured support for people feeling stuck in low mood, low energy, or a persistent sense of disconnection from themselves or others. It’s designed to help when things like sleep, appetite, focus, or motivation start slipping, or when the heaviness doesn’t lift on its own. But that's also when therapy can become a lifeline.
You may not feel better immediately. The beginning often feels heavy. But with consistency, most people see mood shifts, better daily functioning, and more room to feel more like themselves again.
Meet Our Practice
"In depression therapy, your therapist helps you rebuild the parts of daily life that depression can wear down. That might include:
Identifying and gently shifting patterns of thought that reinforce hopelessness
Reworking daily routines to support rest, movement, nutrition, and connection
Naming the social, cultural, or personal pressures that have deepened the weight you carry
Learning how depression interacts with your nervous system, and building compassion for yourself in the process
This work isn’t always quick, but it’s active, supported, and tailored to where you are right now."
