Depression Therapy in Walnut Creek That Meets You Where You Are

You’ve carried the weight of depression for a long time—quietly, bravely, and we’re here to help

At Bedrock Therapies we start with what it’s like to be you. Our approach is shaped by your story, your pace, and your needs. Whether it’s the silence you’ve been holding or the questions you’re afraid to ask, this is a place where all of it is welcome.

When You’ve Tried Everything, and It Still Feels Heavy

You’ve followed the advice. Taking the medications. Shown up to therapy. Maybe you’ve tried more than most people will ever understand.

Clients often come to us feeling:

Disconnected from themselves

Disappointed by care that felt surface-level

Tired of telling their story over and over again

Unsure if healing is even possible

You are not alone. You are not too complicated. And you are not beyond help.

When Small Shifts Start to Feel Like Hope

It doesn’t always start with a breakthrough. Sometimes, it’s the moment you realize you felt even a little lighter that day.

Saying no without guilt

Feeling connected in a conversation

Laughing—and actually meaning it

Trusting yourself again

These quiet shifts matter. They’re how change begins.

A Therapeutic Relationship That Finally Feels Human

This is not protocol-based therapy. It’s not performance. It’s connection.

At Bedrock, you’ll experience:

Research-backed care like TEAM-CBT and EMDR and IFS—only when it serves your goals

An approach that values your insight as much as clinical training

A pace that adjusts to your readiness, not a treatment timeline

Phillip Lolonis, LCSW, and Bedrock Therapies brings experience from schools, recovery programs, and private practice—but what clients feel most is his calm presence and unwavering belief in their ability to heal.

If You’re Guarded, That Makes Sense

Being cautious doesn’t mean you’re closed off. It means you’ve been hurt or dismissed before. That’s valid.

Here, we honor your hesitation. And we’ll never rush you past it. You set the pace. You decide when to share, when to pause, and when to go deeper. This is a space where you don’t have to prove anything to be supported.

From Isolation to Understanding: What Clients Share

"I didn’t realize how unseen I’d felt until I finally felt heard."
"I wasn’t expected to be fixed—I was welcomed as I was. That made all the difference."
"I learned to trust again. Not just my therapist—but myself."

Rooted in Trust, Shaped by Experience

We have supported people navigating real-life pain—grief, trauma, burnout, disconnection. Our approach isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up honestly and staying with you through the messy middle.

No quick fixes. Just steady, grounded care that respects your process.
