Finding your footing while life is still changing
Depression and Life Transitions by video across California.
Finding Your Footing as a Young Adult
College, work, relationships and independence can change at different speeds. You may look capable from the outside while feeling unsure where you belong or what the next decision should be.
Shoreline's transition work includes college students and young adults across California. You can ask for support without having a complete explanation for why this season feels hard.
Maybe this sounds familiar
01
Independence feels different from what you expected.
02
You are between school, work or living arrangements.
03
Other people's plans make you feel behind.
04
You want support that takes your choices seriously.
01 · Understand
Let more than one part of life matter
A concern may not fit neatly into one category. Leaving home can affect family relationships. A new job can change friendships. A decision about school can bring up questions about expectations and identity.
You can describe the pieces as they are rather than choose the most impressive reason for seeking therapy. The clinician can help you consider the pattern and appropriate goals, while taking your own priorities seriously.
02 · Practice
Check the practical fit
Ask about appointment availability, fees, insurance verification and privacy for video sessions. If you are moving between locations, discuss where you will physically be during sessions; Shoreline's current service is California telehealth.
If someone else helps pay for care, ask how billing and privacy are handled rather than assuming the arrangement. Those details can make it easier to understand your options before starting. A consultation is a place for questions, not a commitment to have everything figured out.
03 · Choose Your Next Step
Support that considers your situation
Holly Whitmore, Emily Chen, Misty Goldenberg and Nicola Loretto are listed for depression and life transitions. Nicola brings documented experience with grief and complex emotional transitions.
Use the free consultation to ask about approach, availability and what you hope for from care. Ongoing sessions are by video within California, with suitability and goals discussed directly with the clinician.

Questions before you begin
Can I continue video sessions while traveling out of state?
Do not assume so. Tell the clinician where you will be physically located and ask before the appointment. The current website describes services within California only.
How do I ask about this service?
Tell the practice the broad kind of support you are seeking, your language preference and whether you have a clinician in mind. Fit, availability and any fee or insurance arrangement need to be confirmed before an appointment.
A small first step
Start with a free 15 minute phone consultation to discuss provider fit, availability and the next step. Keep personal and health details out of an ordinary website inquiry. Ongoing sessions are offered by video within California.
