Sometimes we outgrow old ways of being and relating. Therapy can help reveal a better path forward by highlighting your values and increasing your conscious awareness of the unfolding moment. This can empower you to live a more authentic life, and nourish more fulfilling relationships.

Do you defer to others too easily? Do you privately criticize yourself while easily finding good qualities in others? Are you more worried about others' reactions than your own? Do you feel anxious about where you stand with people? Living this way - no matter what it looks like from the outside - can feel demanding, frustrating, and perilous. I offer therapy that empowers you to go after what you want in love and work, with less fear of rejection or guilt over being 'selfish'.

I specialize in working with underrepresented populations, particularly those in San Francisco's tech culture. This includes people of color, women, LGBTQ folk, first- and second-generation immigrants, and first-generation college students, to name a few. The issues that people commonly come to see me for include depression, anxiety, identity issues, low self-esteem and confidence, occupational stress, and dating/relationship stress.

Darcie has longstanding interests in both the transformative power of illness and the connection between emotional health and physical well-being. Previously based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she now offers psychotherapy to California residents exclusively on the phone. This change allows many more people to take advantage of her services. This is especially helpful to the underserved Lyme Disease Community, including patients and their families. Because there is an ongoing scarcity of mental health practitioners who understand the disease process, patients often struggle to find a psychotherapist in their local community.

You, with demanding careers in law,finance, business and marketing know the necessity of keeping a clear head. But how can you do so when depression,anxiety,or insecurities impede your optimal functioning? Or how can you cope with job responsibilities when overwhelmed by relationsip problems, family turmoil, health concerns, or upheavals in the workplace? To help you master these challenges, I offer a caring, confidential, and therapeutic environment where you can freely discuss matters of the heart and mind with a seasoned clinician of 25 years experience. Some down-to-earth advice and a little humor can help, too.

TELE/VIDEOTHERAPY TO ANYONE IN CA. Do you want to feel comfortable in your skin? Perhaps you need support dealing with overwhelming emotions, a traumatic life event or a life transition. I offer a grounding space where you can let your guard down and get to the heart of your personal work. With years of experience and training paired with a warm, playful, and pragmatic spirit, I encourage clients to explore their edge and find the connection between mind, body, behavior, and heart.

I work with professionals and adolescents who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationships, work/life balance, self-esteem, interpersonal resolutions and depression. I focus on helping clients find solutions, understanding, and meaning to reach their personal goals while developing a deeper awareness that encourages you to be your truest, most authentic self.

Don't Let Your Feelings Get The Best Of You. Is a persistent, overwhelming sense of grief and sadness preventing you from living the life you want? Are you dealing with intense emotions of shame, guilt, or hopelessness for seemingly no reason at all? Perhaps you have experienced a traumatic event or childhood neglect that is manifesting as fear, anxiety, or helplessness. Or it could be that you recognize the signs of depression but feel like you have nowhere to turn. If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone. And I want to assure you that there is much we can do to help you find inner peace and greater contentment.

Do you struggle with a negative inner critic that is affecting your work or personal relationships? Or are you going through a particularly difficult time in your life and your inner critic is much more noticeable and stressful? Would you like to feel more in control of your inner critic rather than it being in control of you? Are you ashamed of this aspect of yourself and silently struggle with it?

How are you holding up during these super stressful times? Life can seem tricky and overwhelming these days and requires courage and adaptability! I welcome people from all walks of life, ages and challenges. With many years of experience as a psychotherapist life & executive coach, I am passionate to help people overcome mental health issues and impasses to find a healthy, happy and powerful version of themselves. Quite a few of my clients work in the busy tech/start-up industry. They are driven and accomplished and know what they want but may suffer from burn-out, mental health challenges, or addictions of sorts.

I am Nathan Hale and have been providing crisis counseling and psychotherapy services in the Bay Area for more than twelve years. My experience has been in suicide prevention, community mental health and working with older adults. Doing this, I have seen people at their best and their worst. My work has spanned postgraduate, graduate and undergraduate work. This work has included working with individuals from many different backgrounds and experiences. I come from a culturally sensitive and respectful place, where your lived experience is truly a part of the work we do together.

You may feel lost, but you are not alone. We all experience suffering as a part of the human condition, yet sometimes our symptoms of stress, despair, worry, or self-criticism stand in the way of living the life that we want. If you find yourself troubled by a particular life problem or psychological condition, or generally lacking a sense of vitality and purpose, working with a clinician can help you reconnect with yourself and your strengths. Therapy often helps us to make useful connections between our actions, our thinking, our emotional reality, and patterns in relationships that we have developed over years.

Is your inner critic working overtime, are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or struggling with a relationship? It has been said that our essence, our soul, is ever present like the sun, yet like the sun, it can become obscured by clouds. These clouds represent the wounds and trauma you've experienced throughout your life, along with the defenses that have helped you survive, yet these defenses (the inner critic, depression, anxiety...) may no longer serve you. Together we can bring awareness to and begin to relax these defenses allowing more of your gifts, your ever-present essence to shine through.

Most therapists will say they specialize in what you’re dealing with. Given my decades of experience, I have become fairly scrupulous about the clients I choose to work with. I see therapy as collaborative. If you’re ready to put in the work necessary for change, you’ve come to the right place. If the following sounds like you, feel free to reach out to me now: You know what you want to change in your life; you realize that a commitment to change means that most of the work is going to be on your end; and you're ready to trust in someone to partner with you.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, therapy has a lot to offer. It can help you sort through the turmoil of feelings and disorientating life changes to make wise choices. I offer compassionate, generous listening and practical ways to soothe excessive worries, fears and anger so you can reach calm and clear-sighted perspective. If you feel numb, disconnected from yourself, and alone, therapy introduces you to the work that reconnects. Please contact me for a free 20-min consultation to find out about therapeutic support with the regulating and stabilizing experience of empathy and human connection.
