Our therapists offer compassionate, evidence-based depression counseling in English and Spanish, in person at our Corona office for clients across the Inland Empire and by secure telehealth anywhere in California, and we accept several insurance plans.
Signs You May Be Experiencing Depression
Everyone feels down sometimes, but depression is more than temporary sadness. If several of these have lasted two weeks or longer, therapy can help.
- Feeling down, empty, or flat most days (persistent low mood)
- No longer enjoying the things you used to love (loss of interest)
- Feeling tired or drained, even after rest (fatigue)
- Sleeping much more or less than usual, or changes in your appetite
- Trouble focusing, or feeling stuck on even small decisions
- Feeling like you are not good enough, or carrying shame or guilt you cannot shake (worthlessness)
- Pulling away from friends, family, or responsibilities
- Thoughts of death or suicide
If you are having thoughts of suicide or are in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or call 911. Help is available 24/7.
How Depression Therapy Helps
Our therapists draw from research-backed approaches, tailored to your history, goals, and pace. Many of our clinicians also have training in complex trauma, which often sits underneath long-standing depression.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Identify and shift the negative thought patterns that keep depression going, and build habits that restore energy and motivation.
DBT Skills
Learn practical tools for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and handling hard days without shutting down.
EMDR and Trauma-Informed Care
When past experiences fuel present depression, trauma-informed approaches like EMDR help your brain process and release them.
Mindfulness and Strengths-Based Work
Reconnect with meaning, purpose, and the parts of you that depression has made hard to reach.
What to Expect in Depression Counseling
Our work starts with getting to know you, not just your symptoms.
- Free 20-minute consultation. A brief, no-pressure call to talk about what you are experiencing and whether we are a good fit.
- Assessment. Your therapist learns about your history, current symptoms, and what you want to feel different.
- A personalized plan. Together you set goals and choose approaches aligned with your values.
- Ongoing sessions. Weekly or every other week, in person in Corona or by telehealth, with tools to use between sessions.
- Review and adjust. We track progress together and adapt as you start to feel more like yourself.

Depression Therapy FAQ
Is depression therapy covered by insurance?
In most cases, yes. We accept Aetna, IEHP, Medicare, United Healthcare/Optum, Anthem Blue Cross, and NorCal Kaiser, and we verify your benefits before your first session.
How long does therapy for depression take?
It varies. Many people notice some relief within the first several sessions, and longer-standing depression may take more time. We review progress with you regularly.
Do I need medication to treat depression?
Not always. Therapy alone is effective for many people. If medication might help, we can coordinate with your doctor or a psychiatrist.

Why do I feel empty even though my life is good?
Feeling empty when everything looks fine on paper can be confusing, and it can bring guilt for not feeling more grateful. You are not being ungrateful, and you are not alone in this. Low mood does not always follow circumstances. It can be shaped by stress, past experiences, exhaustion, or long-standing habits of putting your own needs last. Therapy can help you make sense of the emptiness and reconnect with what feels meaningful to you, and a free 20-minute consultation is a low-pressure way to start.
Why can't I get out of bed on weekends?
Many people push through the workweek on autopilot, then find they have nothing left once the pressure lifts. Spending the weekend in bed can feel like rest and still leave you feeling worse, which can be discouraging. Sometimes this points to burnout, low mood, or exhaustion that has been building for a while. In therapy, we can look at what is draining you and work on small, realistic steps that help you feel more like yourself again.
Why don't I enjoy the things I used to love?
Losing interest in hobbies, people, or activities that used to light you up can feel like losing a part of yourself. This is one of the more common ways low mood shows up, and it often happens gradually, so you may not notice until it has been a while. Stress, grief, burnout, or depression can all dull the sense of pleasure and motivation. Therapy can help you understand what is behind the change and gently reconnect with the things that once brought you joy.
Why do I feel like a burden to the people I love?
Feeling like you are too much, or that you take more than you give, can be a painful and lonely place to be. Many people who are struggling with low mood describe this feeling, and it often makes it harder to reach out for the very support that could help. Depression can distort how we see ourselves, making ordinary needs feel like an imposition. Therapy offers a space where you do not have to hold back and can begin to see yourself more clearly. If these thoughts ever include feeling that others would be better off without you, please call or text 988 right away.
What if I don't have insurance?
You can still start therapy. In addition to the insurance plans we accept, private pay and sliding scale options are available. Our team can talk through your options during your free 20-minute consultation.
