As a marginalized professional, you may often feel the weight of systemic challenges intensifying your depression or anxiety. Balancing professional demands with personal well-being becomes a complex task, but you don't have to navigate this journey alone.

What Do Depression and Anxiety Look Like?

Depression and anxiety are more than just feelings of sadness or worry—they’re persistent challenges that can impact every area of your life, from your relationships to your career.

Depression:

  • Persistent feelings of emptiness or hopelessness.

  • Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed.

  • Changes in appetite or weight.

  • Feelings of guilt or worthlessness.

Anxiety:

  • Excessive worry about various aspects of life.

  • Restlessness or feeling on edge.

  • Avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety.

  • Physical symptoms like increased heart rate or sweating.

These symptoms can create a cycle that affects your daily functioning, but with targeted therapeutic strategies, relief is within reach.

The Solution: A Blend of Evidence-Based Therapies

  • Attachment Based Therapy

    Through attachment-based therapy, we’ll explore how early relational patterns—such as feelings of disconnection or unmet needs—may be impacting your self-worth and contributing to depression. For anxiety, we’ll examine how attachment-related fears, like abandonment or difficulty trusting others, may drive feelings of worry or overwhelm.

    Together, we’ll work to heal these patterns, fostering secure attachment that builds emotional resilience, reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety, and creates a foundation for healthier, more fulfilling relationships—with yourself and others.

  • Brainspotting

    Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based therapeutic approach that helps you process and release unresolved emotional pain stored deep in your body and mind. For depression, this method can uncover and address the root causes of persistent feelings of sadness or disconnection. For anxiety, Brainspotting helps identify and calm the physical and emotional triggers driving overwhelming worry or fear. Together, we’ll use this technique to access deeper healing, reduce symptoms, and build a stronger sense of clarity and calm.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to depression and anxiety. For depression, CBT helps challenge negative beliefs about yourself, others, or the world, promoting healthier ways of thinking and boosting self-worth. For anxiety, we’ll work to break the cycle of fear-driven thoughts and teach strategies to manage worry and build confidence in facing challenges. This evidence-based approach equips you with practical tools to navigate emotions and regain control of your mental well-being.

  • Narrative Therapy

    Narrative Therapy helps you explore the stories you tell yourself about your life, relationships, and experiences—especially those shaped by depression and anxiety. Together, we’ll identify and challenge limiting narratives, such as feelings of unworthiness or fear of failure, and create new, empowering stories that reflect your strengths and resilience. By reframing your personal narrative, you’ll gain a fresh perspective, reduce the emotional grip of depression and anxiety, and cultivate a sense of hope and agency in your life.

By combining these therapeutic modalities, we tailor our sessions to address your unique experiences, ensuring a holistic approach to healing. Your journey is unique, and our collaborative approach ensures that therapy aligns with your personal goals and cultural context. Let’s create a plan that works for you.

The Hidden Costs of Not Taking Action

When depression and anxiety are left unaddressed, the toll can grow over time. You may already feel the effects in:

  • Your career: Struggling to focus, keep up with responsibilities, or find fulfillment in your work.

  • Your relationships: Difficulty connecting, fear of rejection, or tension caused by unprocessed emotions.

  • Your physical health: Experiencing fatigue, insomnia, or stress-related symptoms.
