Serious healing for Women

Are you feeling anxious, depressed and/or unmotivated? Do your dreams and goals seem out of reach? Have you been told you are physically present but emotionally absent in relationships? Maybe your difficult emotions get in your way and you want to move past them, but you aren’t sure how to do it. Are you staying in therapy but you seem to be not going anywhere? Have you been trying different medications and they don’t seem to be working? We understand emotions can be overwhelming and feel like a tsunami - feel unsafe and off balance, keeping you away from joy, fulfilment and empowerment . Together, with psychiatry, medication management or Ketamine Therapy, we help you clarify feelings and transform them into powerful tools for shaping growth.

Created for women, by women

Your vulnerability is power!

More than 1 in 5 women in the United States experienced a mental health condition such as depression or anxiety in the past year. Many mental health conditions, such as depression and bipolar disorder, affect more women than men, and affect women in different ways from men. Some conditions are also unique to women: such as PMDD (a severe form of PMS) and postpartum depression. In our Santa Barbara Psychiatry office or in our virtual psychiatry office, we listen to your stories and help you transform your emotions into empowerment.

You are golden and perfect!
