Depression Therapists in Studio City, CA

We often don't remember what was said, but we remember how we felt. My heart for my clients is to foster a safe space of trust that creates a foundation for honest and open conversations.

Let's be real - life often throws the hardest curveballs, which leave us feeling damaged, lost, and fearful of how to recover or return to "how things used to be." Too often, we feel unheard and alone in our darkness. What do you do when you feel so anxious and high-strung that it’s hard to breathe? Who will understand when you don’t have the energy to get out of bed, or you avoid certain places because it reminds you of a terrible memory?

Have you "always been a worrier?" Are your thoughts racing, spiraling you into despair? Do people keep telling you to stop worrying but you can't? Are you thinking the worst case scenario right now?"

If you are nervous right now because too many things on this list remind you, you may be struggling with anxiety. If your worrying is causing you to enjoy life less or is keeping you from getting things done, I would love to help.

Hi, my name is Lucy. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My work is focused on trauma, understanding strong emotions and teaching people how to regulate them is my passion and specialty. I am passionate about the work I do and I’m dedicated to helping my clients achieve mental and emotional balance. I've worked with adults, elderly, and adolescents. I enjoy working with people of all ages to support them as they navigate challenging circumstances, adjust to changes, and fortify their bonds with their loved ones and in their personal relationships.

The goal of therapy is to develop an awareness of our emotional patterns and recognize where they are not serving us. Many of us are operating within a problem saturated narrative that needs to be rewritten. It is my experience that the problems don’t occur in a bubble. I believe that issues are systemic, therefore I will often incorporate partners or members of the Family in the healing and growth process. I find my training in mediation practices further equip me to deal effectively with dysfunction family communication patterns.
