Depression Therapists in San Gabriel, CA

Welcome! My name is Fariah (fur-ree-ah) and I am a licensed psychotherapist. I serve teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and identity issues surrounding being Asian American, multicultural, or a child of immigrants. I am here to help with navigating life transitions, healing from trauma, and providing guidance on the path of self-discovery. Seeking therapy can be a vulnerable experience. As your therapist, I aim to create a safe and judgment-free space where you feel heard, valued, and understood.

During the seasons of life, we encounter various barriers, bumps, ditches and forks in the road that lead us in different directions leaving us feeling disconnected, stressed, anxious, depressed, confused and frustrated. As your therapist, my goal is to empower and collaboratively help you heal, resolve and work through issues, identify and explore your strengths and help you to reconnect with yourself and others in the way you envision. I offer a place that is welcoming, friendly, empathetic, supportive, nonjudgmental and safe in order for you to explore and discuss the issues that are impacting you and your life.

I am passionate about working with children and adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, and losses as well as past trauma.

I work with individuals and couples who feel disoriented, trapped, and need help walking forward. Pain comes in many different forms such as trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, fear, low self-esteem, discrimination, betrayal, anger, or just feeling lost. This pain can be like quicksand, constantly trapping you no matter what you do. My specialty is working with people whose pain is made more complex by intersecting identities (Religion/Spirituality, Culture/Race/Ethnicity, LGBTQ+, immigration). In addition, I have specializations in working with, multiracial people, emerging adults, men, and helping professionals.

Do you always feel on edge? Did something traumatic happen? Trauma is a disruption to the nervous system that often creates patterns and loops that extend into many areas of a person's life. It can affect our bodies, our minds and the way we relate to other people. Sometimes the way people survive their trauma brings them more pain, adds to the chaos, and reinforces negative beliefs that perpetuate the cycle as well as causing other mental health issues grow- such as depression and anxiety. I work with people of various cultures, sexual orientations, and gender identities and know that trauma is non-discriminatory.

Hello! My name is Samantha Navarro and I’m an LCSW. Therapy should not be about a therapist's agenda, it’s all about the client! This is why I like to explore what are the current problems/issues and what goals you want to create from there. Sometimes other goals may be needed, but not everyone is ready to address them at that moment and that is okay too! I focus mostly on empowerment, positive psychology, strengths-based, and client-centered. I also will dabble with other approaches as well because every client is different and may need something different.
