If you’ve been feeling numb, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions—you're not alone.

Depression isn’t just about sadness. It can show up as exhaustion, irritability, hopelessness, trouble sleeping, or the sense that nothing really matters anymore. For some, even getting out of bed can feel like climbing a mountain.

Whether you're experiencing major depressive disorder, dysthymia (persistent low mood), or seasonal patterns of depression, the impact on your daily life and relationships can be overwhelming.

At The Couples Therapy and Reunification Counseling, our therapists in Montebello, CA specialize in helping individuals uncover the root of their depression, process emotional pain, and find a path forward that feels possible. We’ll meet you with compassion, not judgment—offering tools to help you feel more like yourself again.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about creating space to feel, to heal, and to rebuild hope—at your own pace.

What are the signs of Depression?

Depression doesn’t look the same for everyone—and it’s not always obvious from the outside. It can quietly affect your thoughts, body, and relationships until life starts to feel heavy and unmanageable.

Some common signs of depression include:

  • Persistent Sadness or Emptiness

A constant low mood, heaviness, or emotional numbness that doesn’t go away.

  • Loss of Interest or Motivation

No longer enjoying the things that once brought you joy—like hobbies, friendships, or even daily routines.

  • Fatigue or Low Energy

Feeling drained no matter how much you rest, and struggling to get through the day.

  • Sleep Difficulties

Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or sleeping too much.

  • Changes in Appetite or Weight

Eating significantly more or less than usual, often without meaning to.

  • Trouble Concentrating

Feeling foggy, forgetful, or unable to focus on work, conversations, or decisions.

  • Feelings of Guilt or Worthlessness

Negative self-talk, shame, or the belief that you’re not good enough.

  • Unexplained Physical Symptoms

Headaches, stomach issues, or body aches that don't have a medical explanation.

If any of these symptoms feel familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep pushing through by yourself. Depression counseling in Montebello, CA can help you find relief, clarity, and support.

“Finally found a therapist that checks off all the boxes! So grateful for the space and time that is provided every time I go to our sessions. For the first time I feel hopeful in my healing process.”
