Anxiety & Depression Therapy in California —Inner Wave

Gentle guidance through emotional overwhelm, uncertainty, and stuckness.

Healing Begins with Being Understood

Anxiety and depression don’t always show up as panic attacks or crying spells. They can look like burnout, racing thoughts, emotional numbness, self-doubt, trouble sleeping, or feeling disconnected from the life you're living.

At Inner Wave Therapy, we specialize in anxiety and depression treatment for creative professionals, young adults, and individuals navigating life transitions. Whether you’re experiencing persistent worry, low mood, overwhelm, or a general sense of dissatisfaction, our compassionate therapists provide practical strategies tailored to help you manage these challenges and regain balance.

Common Issues We Work With:

  • Generalized anxiety, panic, and intrusive thoughts

  • Chronic stress, burnout, or emotional fatigue

  • Sadness, irritability, or numbness

  • Sleep disturbance and appetite changes

  • Self-criticism or feeling like “you’re not enough”

  • Social anxiety or fear of judgment

  • Grief, loneliness, or isolation

  • Difficulty functioning at work or school

  • Existential anxiety or loss of purpose
