Depression can impact relationships, school performance, motivation, and self-esteem. It’s no wonder your quality of life has suffered! However, there’s hope. At Calabasas Child & Adolescent Psychology, Dr. Eve Loren Goldstein, Psy.D. provides compassionate, evidence-based depression therapy for children, teens, adolescents, and young adults in Calabasas, California. Her individualized approach helps clients understand what they’re experiencing while building practical skills to improve emotional well-being and reconnect with the activities and relationships that matter most.
Therapy for Depression That Meets Individual Needs
Depression doesn’t always look the same from one person to the next. For children, it may appear as irritability or behavioral changes rather than sadness. Teens and young adults may withdraw from friends, lose interest in hobbies, or struggle academically when they begin feeling overwhelmed. As an experienced depression therapist, Dr. Goldstein uses evidence-based approaches to address common concerns such as:
- Persistent sadness or hopelessness
- Irritability and frequent mood changes
- Low motivation and loss of interest in favorite activities
- Social isolation or withdrawal
- Negative self-esteem or excessive self-criticism
- Academic stress and declining school performance
Depending on individual needs, depression therapy may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other methods with a focus on isolating unhelpful thinking patterns, finding healthy coping strategies, and improving emotional regulation skills.
