| español Our office is located in Downey, and we offer both in-person and telehealth services. If life has been feeling heavy lately—like you’re carrying a lot but can’t quite name what’s wrong—you’re not alone. Maybe you’re doing your best to hold everything together while feeling anxious, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself and others. We’re here to listen without judgment, help you understand what you’re feeling, and support you in finding more calm, clarity, and balance. Healing isn’t a race, and you don’t have to do it on your own. We’re here when you’re ready.
Past experiences can leave you feeling anxious, tense, or stuck in painful memories. You might notice racing thoughts, sadness, or avoidance. You’re not alone. EMDR and trauma-informed care can help ease distress, process difficult memories, and support a greater sense of calm and control.
Anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes can make everyday life feel overwhelming—or you may simply be wanting more clarity and growth. You don’t have to go through it alone. We’re here to listen and support you. Reach out to schedule a consultation. No insurance? Ask if your employer offers Lyra—we’d be glad to help.
