Sadness

Sadness isn’t something to be solved. It deserves time, space, and care. Whether your sadness has a clear story or feels inexplicable, we sit with it, listening gently, without needing it to justify itself.

My rates are:
$880 for a 90 min session

$550 for a 60 min session

Mental Health Support For Sadness

Sadness can be heavy, but it often arrives quietly. It might come after loss or disappointment. It might have no obvious cause. Sometimes it lingers like fog, other times it arrives in waves that catch you off guard. At Modern Holistic Psychiatry, we don't ask your sadness to explain itself. We meet it with care, curiosity, and respect for everything it might be holding.


This isn’t about diagnosing you quickly or pushing you toward positivity. If you’re moving through the world feeling flat, overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally flooded, that deserves space. It might be depression. It might be grief. Or it might just be your body’s honest response to a difficult world. Here, your sadness is not too much. It’s not a problem to solve. It’s something to be understood, in its full context.

Holistic Therapy for Sadness, Rooted in Attunement

My approach to therapy for persistent sadness draws on years of experience working with mood challenges across many settings, from community-based care to psychiatry clinics to relational therapy rooms. I bring a background in psychopharmacology, somatic and psychoanalytic work, and a long-standing interest in the emotional effects of disconnection, burnout, and trauma.


At Modern Holistic Psychiatry, we take a whole-person approach. That might include talk therapy, parts work, body-based support, or gentle exploration of psychotropic medications, depending on your needs and preferences. Whether you’re experiencing depression, struggling with low self-worth, or just feeling persistently unwell in ways that are hard to name, this is a space where we can begin to understand the shape of your sadness, and what might soften it, in time.
