Carl Rogers wrote, “The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” If you’re looking to develop a practice for ‘the good life,’ I would be honored to work with you. Whether you’re an adolescent, adult, or someone with a health, social, relational, cultural, educational, or employment issue, my strength-based, integrative approach is designed to meet your unique needs.

Barbara Salinger-Brown is a licensed psychotherapist with a private practice in Menlo Park. With over 17 years of experience working with adults and teens who are seeking help for struggles with anxiety, depression, enhancing performance, eating disorders, and relief from trauma. I work with performing artists, athletes, and coaches, giving them tools to help increase their confidence and learn how to achieve peak performance. As a competitive swimmer for most of my life, I discovered a passion for helping athletes develop a more balanced and healthy way of viewing and participating in their sport.

I am a licensed psychologist (PSY29383) providing teletherapy in the state of California. My areas of specialty include the treatment of anxiety, mood, and stress-related concerns, with particular expertise in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, and reproductive/perinatal mental health. My therapeutic stance can be described as warm, nonjudgmental, collaborative, and genuine. My goals as a therapist are to know you, help make sense of what you’re going through, relieve distress, and help you live a more content and values-driven life.

I believe our emotional and physical health are inseparable. In psychotherapy, we will explore how your brain, emotions, body, and spirituality work together in creating moment-by-moment experiences within you. My background in neuropsychology and psychotherapy will guide our work in an integrated and holistic framework. As a registered psychologist (PSY 33916) specializing in neuropsychology, I offer neuropsychological assessment, individual psychotherapy and cognitive remediation for adults (age 18-64), in English, Cantonese and Mandarin. Currently, I provide teletherapy services only, to residents of California.

This allows you to understand what your therapy process will look like. If we decide to work together, you will be involved in a very action oriented therapy. Our work will encourage you to practice your new skills during the week. I try to use approaches that you find helpful like: writing in a journal, reading books, support groups, and/or your spiritual practices, that may help while you are in therapy.

You are tired of depression, anxiety and/or troubling memories standing in the way of your ability to live a rich and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a current challenging situation, or you're just ready to move forward from a troubled past, I cherish the opportunity of hearing your story and walking with you along your path of healing.

Every one of us has an internal wisdom and light that guides us through our life. However, at times, we may get wounded in relation with others, and our inherent beauty gets clouded with pain and symptoms. My goal is to help you find the strength and realization that everything you need is already inside of you. Together, we will identify the sources of your pain and authentic steps to take to thrive. I work with adults 18 and over who would like to improve their quality of life. My 15 years of experience have gifted me expertise in complex relational trauma, as well as issues that women experience across their lifespan.

I am a licensed psychologist who provides individual and family therapy across the lifespan, with a focus on youth, adolescents, and young adults. I use a cognitive behavioral (CBT) and systems framework to work with individuals on issues stemming from OCD, anxiety, trauma, cultural stress, and low confidence. My goal is to provide a safe space for clients to be themselves and learn strategies to lower distress and gain confidence.

Through my experiences, I have gained skills to support my clients by building strong relationships, providing empathy and support, and most importantly creating a safe space. I became a therapist due to my own personal experiences. Initially, it was very difficult for me to seek mental health support, but once I did, I found confidence and healing through therapy. It was that positive experience that led me to pursue a career in this field.

I am particularly effective in working with bright and highly sensitive teens. During this pandemic, I believe that our most perceptive, sensitive adolescents are having the biggest mental health challenges with not seeing friends, family, and teachers on a more regular basis. I have extensive experience as a School Counselor in both private and public schools in the SF Bay Area. I also have designed and taught Social and Emotional Learning at several private schools. My ideal client is a teen facing the obstacles of anxiety, depression, learning challenges or social skills challenges at school or home.

Myself and my colleagues at the California Psychology Center specialize in therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, and depression. We help with these difficulties by customizing strategies supported by the strongest research evidence to each unique individual. We work with clients in a warm, collaborative manner to help our clients better understand themselves, learn new skills, and overcome life’s struggles in a manner consistent with their values and goals. Our practice is aimed at both alleviating psychological distress, as well as bolstering strengths and a sense of personal fulfillment.

Do you experience intense stress, worry, or panic? Does anxiety hold you back from pursuing your personal and professional goals? I can help you learn strategies to overcome your fears and help you live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with worry, stress, or perfectionism, as well as specific anxiety disorders such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Social Anxiety Disorder. I also treat Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (e.g. hair pulling, skin picking).

In life, there are moments when it feels like we've lost control and need help finding stable ground. If you find yourself navigating through stressful life changes, I'm here for you. As a therapist, my approach centers around working together to create positive transformation in your life. I won't dictate what you should do, but rather, I will work with you to discover your inner wisdom. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship changes, or communication difficulties, I have the expertise to assist you on your journey.

I have worked with diverse populations of all ages. I believe that everyone deserves to live their best life, use their voice, and be free in their body. As humans, our sense of self is shaped by family stories, the environment we grew up and live in, relationships, past traumas, and socio-political-economic and cultural influences, that may have clouded our vision of ourselves or who we want to be. My joy as a therapist is to provide space for you to speak your truth, find your way back to yourself, reinvent, and rediscover who you are. Change is a moment-by-moment process.

Everyone needs help sometimes. In therapy, we join together to achieve your goals. Many of my clients are working on issues with anxiety and depression brought on by life transitions and past traumas. Together we examine patterns of thinking and behaviors that are no longer serving you. New coping skills help clients tolerate their feelings and improve their interpersonal communication.

My clinical work is focused on treating individuals with co-occurring psychiatric, medical, and addictive disorders. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As a trauma-informed therapist, I provide a supportive environment to help you explore an existing problem from a new perspective.

Older adolescents, adults & couples are all welcome to my practice. In collaboration with you, I will help guide and support you in attaining your therapy goals by understanding the patterns inhibiting your success, happiness and fulfillment. Together we will chart a therapeutic course specific to who you are and what your goals are. I invite feedback and make corrections as needed along the way. My framework is psychodynamic to which I bring training in other theories/techniques, including: Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, CBT, attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), EMDR and trauma focused.

I have spent my time as a therapist providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals to gain perspective on their lives, strengthen relationships with others and advocate for themselves. I have worked with a diverse population providing individual, couples, and family therapy in different settings.
