Compassionate Support for Life’s Challenges
At City Mind Wellness, we know that life doesn’t stand still. Change—whether expected or sudden—can bring challenges that feel overwhelming. Major transitions, experiences of loss, or prolonged stress can impact mental health, leaving you anxious, sad, or uncertain about the future.
The good news is you don’t have to navigate these moments alone. Our providers offer supportive psychotherapy, safe medication management, and personalized treatment planning to help you cope, heal, and grow through life’s toughest times. With secure telehealth, we make care accessible to adolescents (13+), adults, and older adults across California.
What Do We Mean by Life Transitions, Grief, and Stress?
- Life Transitions
Big changes—such as moving, starting college, career shifts, marriage, divorce, retirement, or becoming a parent—can bring both opportunity and stress. Adjusting to new roles or expectations often requires support. - Grief and Loss
The death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or other forms of loss can trigger deep sadness, loneliness, and even depression. Grief is a natural process, but it can be overwhelming without guidance. - Chronic Stress
Ongoing pressure from work, school, finances, or caregiving responsibilities can take a toll on both mental and physical health. Chronic stress is linked to anxiety, depression, and burnout.
Common Symptoms
Life transitions, grief, and stress may cause:
- Persistent sadness or tearfulness.
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions.
- Fatigue or lack of motivation.
- Changes in sleep or appetite.
- Heightened anxiety or restlessness.
- Feelings of guilt, regret, or hopelessness.
- Withdrawal from friends, family, or daily activities.
- Physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach issues, or muscle tension.
If these challenges begin to interfere with your daily functioning, professional support can help.
Our Approach to Supporting You
At City Mind Wellness, we tailor care to your unique experience. Whether you’re grieving, adjusting to change, or dealing with stress, we focus on helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered.
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
We start with a psychiatric evaluation to understand your history, current challenges, and goals. This ensures that your care plan addresses your full needs.

Therapy provides a safe, compassionate space to process your experiences. Our supportive approach helps you by:

4. Treatment Planning
Together, we create a personalized plan that outlines your goals, strategies, and supports. Plans are flexible and evolve as you progress.
5. Referrals for Additional Support
When beneficial, we connect patients with specialized therapists, case managers, or support groups (such as grief counseling groups or stress management workshops).
