Anxiety and Depression
When You Can’t Find the Off Switch
Maria* was tired.
Depression and anxiety had left her feeling alone, isolated, and angry.
It got worse when the people around her didn’t understand.
There’s no off switch, no matter how badly she wished for one.
It felt like forgetting to do something important. All the time.
You Know the Feeling.
You beat yourself up for having no energy.
Then you put things off and feel worse for it.
Sleep won’t come, because you’re anxious.
Then you’re anxious about not sleeping.
Reaching out feels impossible.
You want the help. But you don’t want to be a bother.
Your Anxiety and Depression Have a Cause
Anxiety and depression aren’t character flaws.
They aren’t cured by willpower alone, either.
They’re symptoms with underlying causes.
Real treatment reaches the cause, not just the surface.
Think of your anxiety and depression as symptoms of an illness, one for which there is a cure.
And they are highly treatable.
How We Help You Reach the Cause
At Anel Lee & Associates, we treat anxiety and depression with CBT, DBT, and strength-based work.
Together, we build your emotional regulation.
We challenge the distorted thinking that keeps pulling you down.
And we create change that holds up outside the session, not just inside it.
We meet with clients virtually across California and in person at our Norwalk office, in English and Spanish.
You Can Heal, the Way Maria Did
Maria healed.
She left therapy at peace, a new lightness in her mind and body.
Life still brings her ups and downs.
But anxiety and depression no longer pile on the extra weight.
The wounds of her past are scars now.
She carries them with pride, as proof she won the battle.
Your life can look like this too.
The goal is bigger than coping. It’s getting your whole life back.
