Depression robs us of the joy and rewards that make life exciting.

Worse, efforts to leave the cave to reengage life often feel unsuccessful and motivation can be difficult to find.
Many people live with depression every day without knowing that that their symptoms are part of a depressive disorder. Depression can manifest itself as fatigue, bodily pain, gastrointestinal problems, sleep difficulties, loss of interest, sluggish thought processes, or irritability.
For those who are willing to engage with therapy, a rich life can be found. By understanding how depression works and developing the necessary tools to keep it at bay, people can find a sense of joy and optimism that they never thought possible.

Substance Abuse & Addiction
Facing problematic substance use can feel overwhelming. You may notice parts of your life breaking down and realize alcohol or drug use has become more than a habit. Feelings of guilt, shame, or hopelessness can make it difficult to see a way forward.
Pacific Behavioral Healthcare provides therapy for individuals ready to address the deeper issues behind their substance use. In counseling, you can identify harmful patterns, understand underlying needs, and begin to heal past emotional wounds. This process supports greater stability, resilience, and a more fulfilling life.
Addiction can feel lonely. You may want to stop the cycle but feel powerless, or appear to function well while struggling privately. Over time, substance use affects relationships, work, and mental health.
With individualized treatment, Pacific Behavioral Healthcare helps you uncover root causes and develop healthier coping strategies. Recovery is possible, and support is here to guide you toward a stronger, more balanced future.
Bipolar Disorders
Living with bipolar depression can be difficult without professional help. You may feel like your life is out of control and the pain can also be felt by your loved ones. The mood shifts become exhausting and can take a toll on your relationships, work or school performance, and happiness. We can help you regain stability, learn ways to mange stress, and experience life to the fullest. Often times individuals who are engaged in treatment are less likely to have a bipolar episode in the future. This is because they gain insight into problematic behaviors and ways of thinking that can contribute to the onset of a bipolar episode.
Obsessive - Compulsive Disorder
Many who struggle with compulsive behaviors are aware that their symptoms are indicators of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). However, the reality is that many who suffer from OCD are not aware that their obsessive thoughts, with or without identifiable compulsive behaviors, are part of a pathological pattern that warrants clinical attention.
OCD can take nearly infinite forms. Hollywood suggests that OCD sufferers compulsively wash their hands, check locks, or avoid stepping on cracks. Although many do exhibit such symptoms, many more have symptoms that are completely unrelated to these depictions of the disorder.
Treatment for OCD and related conditions is generally very effective. Although considerable challenges to symptom relief are sometimes present, a number of well-validated treatment tools are available to provide considerable hope. Individuals who are willing to fully engage in treatment can expect to be challenged, and to reap considerable rewards for their courage.
Loneliness
Persistent feelings of loneliness can cause deep emotional pain. You may be unsure how to create new friendships or consistently struggle to maintain relationships with others. You also may be experiencing overwhelming sadness from a relationship break up. We can help you uncover the reasons behind your loneliness, address underlying concerns that may be contributing to your pain, and create a path forward towards establishing rewarding relationships.
Grief

You might feel stuck in your grief and hopelessly saddened by your loss. You may experience a deep yearning for your loved one and find that thoughts and images of them bring painful reminders of their loss. It can be difficult for you to imagine your life with meaning or purpose without your loved one and you may feel lost in how to move forward.
