Ladera Ranch Therapists specializing in Depression

NUBIA TELLIS

You're taking the first step towards learning how to manage those negative emotions. Guess what!? We all experience distressing emotions and thoughts. Those thoughts trigger behaviors that can affect our relationship with ourselves and with others. Learning how to manage them and not suppress them is the journey we can take together.

Anxiety and Depression Treatment - Dr. Jenyffer Peterson

My therapeutic approach is one of compassion, authenticity, and connection. With that foundation, I help my patients through their pain one day at a time; I strive to help my patients create more love, compassion, and happiness in their lives. I blend my style of therapy using evidence-based treatment (what's proven to work) with holistic and individualized. I specialize in Anxiety, Complex Trauma, Elderly Persons Disorders, and Grief.

Isaac Martinez

All my clients come from very different ranges of needs. I specialize in clients who struggle with mental health and with substance abuse. A lot of clients have come back after completing treatment because they were so satisfied with the individualized treatment plan based on their needs.

Solara Calderon

My clients come to therapy grieving a painful loss (like the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or even the loss of a part of their identity), trying to shift unhelpful patterns or behaviors in their relationships, struggling to adapt to a new life phase (like parenthood, starting college, or a new job), having a hard time managing big emotions, or seeking deeper meaning and connection. I particularly love working with young adults, moms and dads, and LGBTQ+ folks.

Kelsey Milano

I work with people who feel like their lives are a mess. Sometimes this sense of chaos has been lifelong. Other times something has happened that completely upends the structure of a person’s life, leaving them to pick up the pieces. The people I work with don’t fit into a neat diagnostic box. They often struggle with issues across a number of domains, whether eating, substance use, career, identity, and of course relationships. I also work with many people who are queer and/or artists.

Paul Wilcox

I typically work with individuals and couples. I specialize in working with trauma, LGBTQ, religious trauma, existential crises, underrepresented populations, relationship and societal issues. I have been told that I am easy to be in session with, and can stay curious and identify with most anyone I meet. I work best with adult clients, those with deep inquiries of self, and typically anyone who has feelings of being misunderstood or alienated. I do very well at helping couples reconnect.

Rebecca Bruno

When you feel drained, overwhelmed, stuck, lonely, or estranged from inner aliveness, it can be hard to know where to turn. Your feelings make sense - everyone gets lost sometimes. Panic and anxiety can be very scary and depression can feel immoveable. With a trusted ally in the therapeutic process, you will gain relief, personalized tools, and creative solutions. My approach is compassionate and curious, and I value trust-building, collaboration, and actionable treatment planning.

Sally Stephens

Are you a high achiever dealing with depression or anxiety? Does you depression go unseen because you continue to function well and achieve your goals? This can be a lonely place where others do not see your pain and you feel unseen and unable to share it with others. I work with and help people just like you. I have an open practice where all issues can be addressed and all backgrounds can feel comfortable.

Kelsey Blazak

If you are struggling and seeking therapy to address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, a life transition, trauma, or any number of difficulties, you are not alone. We all need some extra support at various points in life. Therapy can be an amazingly supportive, meaningful, and exploratory process—a space to unpack all of life’s complexities. We’ll work collaboratively to address your needs and goals, while holding space for your mental, emotional, physical, & spiritual well-being.

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.

Corrie Blissit

Adulting is a struggle. While it is a valuable time of self discovery, it is also a time of uncertainty and increased responsibility. There are expectations to find your footing in this world and find it fast. Under the weight of these societal pressures we think, is this as good as it gets? Are my wants, needs, and desires reasonable? Sifting through these alone is overwhelming. Our relationship offers a consistent, exploratory place for you to gain insight into yourself and these questions.

Samira Dewidar

On the surface you have it all together but underneath your mind is constantly racing with anxious thoughts and self doubt- fears of being a failure, people finding out you are a “fraud” and a harsh inner critic. You feel lonely and disconnected. No matter what you do, you never feel "good enough." You deserve to feel confident, calm, and connected. You are ready to "get out of your head and start living." You've come to the right place.

Jesse McIntosh

I offer compassionate, solutions-focused therapeutic care to individuals and couples, especially those experiencing depression, identity/esteem issues, or patterns of relational instability. With roughly three years of clinical training from the L.A. LGBT Center and over a decade as a high school teacher, I have particular experience with the challenges faced by adolescents, young adults, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, although I’m eager to work with anyone who feels I could be a match.

Finding meaning in life, healing, becoming whole again, & thriving (not just surviving) are examples of potential goals for our time together. Within that framework, we can customize our work to meet and embrace your unique personality & needs. A couple of meaningful quotes: “You are not meant for crawling. So don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly." ~ Jalal al-Din Rumi (13th-century Persian poet and Sufi mystic) “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” ~ Carl Jung

Sonny Granade

I love working with anyone in the midst of major life changes, including those navigating relationship and career transitions, new parents, ambitious professionals, blocked creatives, and those struggling with the aftermath of relational trauma or loss and grief. I also particularly enjoy and thrive in working with men seeking a greater understanding of themselves and their relationship patterns, and who are looking to deepen a connection to their emotional world.

Online Therapy

Molly Nestor Kaye

I tend to work with folks who are curious about themselves, others, and the human condition in general. My clients often come to therapy recognizing that they have endured relational and/or societal trauma and knowing how it impacts them. However, they feel unsure of how to reckon with, heal, and integrate their traumatic experiences. My clients are ready to live more expansively, have more balanced relationships, and feel more grounded in their daily life but need support to get there.

Online Therapy

Travis Bauer

I see many clients who feel stuck and unable to alter their life in a way that reflects their values, causing them to feel sad, on edge, or numb. They are suffering a great deal, and often their needs seem unclear. This can look like constant worrying, dreading the future, or being caught up in the past. I use a frank and kind style to empower clients to find meaning and hope as they navigate the complicated, often oppressive systems of our world.

Online Therapy

Melissa Gentry

My clients are ready to embrace transformation and change. They are motivated to explore new possibilities, overcome obstacles, and unlock their potential for growth. I support individuals seeking help with anxiety, ADHD/ADD, bipolar, mood challenges, depression, panic disorder, goal setting, procrastination, and relationship/intimacy challenges. Together, we embark on a journey of empowerment, paving the way for positive and meaningful change in their lives.

Tracy Vadakumchery

Have you ever been told that you're the "Black sheep" of the community or your family, "Whitewashed", "Too South Asian", or "Not Brown enough"? Maybe you're not South Asian, but you feel like you don't belong in your community. You belong right here! I go by "The Bad Indian Therapist", because as someone who was raised Indian and Catholic, I've also been called these things too. Sometimes it makes us feel isolated, and we withdraw from the world. It doesn't have to be that way!

Erica Andrews

Clients who benefit from working with me have wanted to work on some aspect of themselves, like improving their sense of self worth, finding their own voice, trying to understand why their relationships typically don't work out, or simply just trying to cope with the day to day. I welcome all walks of life in my virtual office and work hard to continually check my biases, decolonize my practice, and reduce harmful language.
