I tend to view people as complex, and that our difficulties are intertwined with our relationships, culture, and lifestyle, past and present. I have advanced training in psychoanalysis and mentalization based treatment, working with adults coping with complex trauma and personality disorder diagnoses. Additionally, I work with athletes and professionals having problems with performance, doubt, and creativity. Ultimately, my efforts are aimed at cultivating a meaningful, trustworthy, and collaborative relationship meant to help individuals reflect on and understand where they have been, where they are, and where they want to go.

I am a licensed psychologist. My work is based on the contemporary research in the areas of development, attachment, neuropsychology, and psychoanalysis. This research indicates that a therapeutic relationship can help rework a person's internal emotional world and cognitive capabilities. The growth in therapy allows individuals to engage in more genuine and intimate relationships with others and to see themselves differently. It helps them be more effective in school and at work. I use a compassionate, practical, relational, and researched approach to help clients achieve meaningful lasting change.

My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

Are you struggling with work, relational, and life stressors that have overwhelmed you and you are unsure what to do next? You're trying to open the next chapter in your life, but your past traumas and anxiety stop you. This is where I come in and help guide you in making YOUR right decision. I will help you through your journey in becoming worry-free and assist you in processing unresolved feelings and learning healthy coping skills for emotional distress

Needing the help of another person is one of the most complicated challenges we face as human beings. It can make us feel we are broken, that we are too little or too much, and that it would all be best kept inside rather than talked about in the open. Good help, however, can transform shame into acceptance, stuckness into movement, and self-distortion into alignment with our true selves. I specialize in and have extensive training and research experience in treating trauma disorders, PTSD, dissociative disorders, and complex PTSD. I also have specialties in and enjoy working with interracial relationships and men's issues.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

It takes an incredible amount of courage to admit our own insecurities and difficulties. To seek help through therapy requires even more determination and strength. Therefore, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment and work together collaboratively to achieve your mental health goals.

Navigating life's challenges is never easy, but reaching out for help is a brave first step to living a more genuine and fulfilling life. I have expertise in working with individuals struggling with childhood trauma and trauma-related symptoms such as grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relational conflict. I believe every client is unique and deserves to be listened to and understood in an empathetic way. I am passionate about creating a safe, kind, collaborative and judgment-free space where clients can attain new insights, experience new feelings, and find a renewed sense of physical and mental well-being.

Nobody’s childhood dream was to grow up and feel overwhelmed, alone, stuck or unworthy. I aim to help individuals heal from trauma-related issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues. If you find yourself living without a navigation system to understand emotional terrain or trauma that impacts your well-being; you are not alone. All of us go through rough patches in our lives. My approach is specific to meet your unique needs in a safe and non-judgemental space.

Is therapy actually helpful? Can someone I don't know actually help me? Whether you’re looking to work through relational conflicts with a partner or family member or hoping to explore painful memories that have been affecting you all these years later, you’re probably wondering if you could feel safe diving deeper with a stranger. My hope is that on our journey together, you would find therapy to be a space where you can bring all of yourself without fear of being criticized or judged. I am committed to staying curious about your inner world and providing a level of care that is uniquely attuned and tailored to your story.

Hi, my name is Dr. Caroline Vetter and I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist (Psy.D.) based in Berkeley, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with low self-confidence, anxiety, stress, trauma, and sports performance, using Relational Psychodynamic therapy combined with evidenced-based interventions to help my clients make progress and find more joy in their life.

I have been very effective in helping people find relief from anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as improving the quality of their life and relationships. I provide a thorough assessment followed by a collaboratively developed treatment plan to effectively address your individual situation. My Goal is to treat you as a whole person - biological, psychological, relational and spiritual. Often talk therapy alone will not be as effective as it could be when combined with appropriate adjunctive treatment(s) and I will refer you to the appropriate specialist(s) or resources when needed.

Is it a gnawing sense of anxiety, and loneliness that gets in your way? Often, I meet people who are up against strong self-criticism, doubt, low self esteem and transitions in life as they attempt to make it through the day. In my experience people come to therapy looking for something they can’t get elsewhere. You are not alone. Together we can resolve these struggles opening-up to new potential and life purpose.

We are all on our own journey in life, filled with experiences big and small that have shaped our present. At times we all have our own work to do to feel mentally healthy and balanced in our relationship with ourselves and others. Therapy is a courageous and powerful step for your journey, helping you grow and/or heal to reach the goals you desire. By meeting you where you are at emotionally/mentally we work for you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, discover patterns in your life and learn skills for you to reach your goals.

Mental health challenges are due to the aftereffects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can place a strain on your family, work, relationships, and even cause issues with self-worth. I specialize in trauma therapy along with treating personality disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction. All these disorders can look different from person to person, and that is where our therapeutic journey of empowerment and self-exploration begins. I concentrate on creating a safe space of growth and self-discovery through unconditional positive regard, emotional regulation, and guided activities.

Are you looking for a supportive therapist that offers you fresh perspective? Do you feel down and more sensitive than usual? Does your mind buzz with worried thoughts? Our practice therapists want to help you find balance and joy again or for the first time ever. We all experience maladies such as anxiety and depression, stress and fatigue which are signs that a problem can no longer be ignored. Let's take a look at the deeper causes and learn the tools that will help you navigate this time.

My goal as a therapist is to help you to resolve your current problems and limitations, find your authentic self, and live life to its fullest.

I believe successful therapy starts with collaboratively identifying present issues and goals for our work together. My commitment to clients is to establish and maintain trust while addressing difficult phases of one’s personal development.
