I support women who are grieving the loss of a parent. I love helping compassionate caregivers, who feel deeply for others, but have a hard time doing this for themselves. Many of my clients come to see me when they’re struggling to voice their needs, can’t share their grief with friends and family without fear of over concern or judgement, and when they experience prolonged feelings of guilt or shame.

Hi there, I'm Anjana! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I have been a licensed clinical social worker for the last 13 years in California, and I believe that to have a successful outcome in therapy, the client and therapist must build a strong rapport. I am a person-centered counselor with a warm and compassionate style. I believe in treating others with respect and dignity.

I hold over 25 years of experience working with youth, adolescents, young adults, adults and families. After earning my master's degree in Counseling at San Francisco State University, I accepted a position with Family Service Agency of San Francisco, then with the City and County of San Francisco Department of Public Health, Community Behavioral Services. In this position, I helped to create the Transitional Youth Service Program. In 2000, I received a Certificate of Honor award from the Mayor of San Francisco.

You have been through something unimaginably difficult: a trauma. You struggle with nightmares, flashbacks, overwhelming thoughts/feelings or an absence of feelings, and trouble doing things you used to do easily. Trauma can impact us in so many ways. Whether you want to trust yourself and others, develop a sense of safety, or gain a deeper understanding of who you are, I can help.

When problems remain unresolved, negative feelings such as frustration, anger and hopelessness can bog you down. You may seek distractions to keep you from confronting your innermost thoughts and feelings. Your relationships, work, and health may suffer. You put on a front to appear "normal." These are signs alerting you to take steps towards healing and change. I am here to tell you that you are not alone. I will listen to your story compassionately and without judgement, and support to empower you with a voice. I will nurture all that is good in you, and collaboratively help you blossom into the best version of your Self.

Life can be challenging. Messy relationships, past hurts that won't go away, the stress and pressures of keeping up every day. ...And so often in our struggle, we can feel alone and unseen. Wherever you're at today, it is my honor to meet you there and to walk with you toward healing and wholeness. My name is Holly Stangle, and I'm a licensed therapist in CA and WA, passionate about creating a safe place where people can be honest, be seen, and find healing and growth.

Therapy can help you remove unwanted behaviors and restore joy and fulfillment to your life. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues or impact from trauma, I provide a non-judgmental, active, caring environment to enable you to make positive changes. My therapeutic approach is supported by the most recent research. I integrate cognitive behavioral, mindfulness-based, and multicultural theoretical perspectives in my work. As you tell your story, I will help you identify your inner strengths, develop lasting and more effective coping skills that will re-energize your relationships and life.

We all endure relational and environmental challenges that can push us into a state of overwhelm, whether that be at work, home, school, or in our own mind. I believe that working to identify these stressors, then developing strategies and approaches to overcome them with a trusted therapist can lead us to getting the most out of our lives. I enjoy working with a diverse population of clients, and specifically love engaging in therapeutic work around reauthoring the story we tell ourselves and have been told by others. I appreciate helping clients to challenge the narratives we may perceive as true about ourselves and our journey.

I am Gia Reyes and I am a first-generation immigrant and mother. Knowing how overwhelming and uncomfortable life transitions can be, I provide a safe and nurturing space to process issues and life-changes, with the end-goal of achieving equilibrium in the pursuit of joy, happiness and contentment. Whether it is a teen struggling with anxieties and depression, or a couple separating, a career retirement or empty-nesting, we can find your life-purpose, at any age. I also have lived experience of how challenging it can be to move to another country, with perhaps conflicting values and traditions for the children.

I believe in people’s innate ability to persevere and evolve through their struggles. Everyone has an innate potential to achieve their goals if given the proper nourishment and environment. As a therapist, I strive to provide that environment. I help patients find their path towards their own peace of mind. I foster a trusting and caring relationship with my patients, focusing on the unique and fascinating experiences that every individual brings to the table.

Struggles in your relationship can be overwhelming and confusing where you're constantly arguing over small things and feel a growing distance as a couple.

Are you tired of the non-stop chatter in your head judging every move you make? Is the constant loop of negative thinking making you feel like you are not good enough? No matter how many times you try to talk yourself out of this—you just can't seem to shake it. You are doing all the things you’ve been told to do and yet there is something missing. You feel alone. You feel misunderstood. You feel anxious. You turn to food, alcohol, Netflix, or whatever else that can make these feelings go away. You promise yourself that next week will be different. You will start the new diet, or the new program, you will commit to being a new you.

We are often ruled by thoughts and patterns of conditioning that are largely outside of our awareness. While adaptive, this process can sometimes lead us astray. I aim to help you uncover unhealthy patterns of conditioning by cultivating awareness through mindful intention which will ultimately help guide you towards a more conscious and fulfilling life. I have extensive experience working with individuals suffering from mood disorders, trauma-related disorders and substance abuse.
