"It takes courage to admit that you can no longer face life's challenges alone. It is also the most important step towards change. My style is warm, interactive and intuitive. I integrate various therapeutic methodologies, which enables me to creatively meet your distinctive, personal needs. In addition to talk therapy I offer Expressive Arts and Guided Imagery to help us connect with and process negative, painful, and fearful emotions."

"I have helped individual adults, couples and families in my private psychotherapy practice for over 30 years. I offer an in-depth, insightful, potent and integrative approach which blends Relational, Psychodynamic, Psychoanalytic, Jungian and Mindfulness orientations."

"We all need special attention at times in our lives. Working on emotional problems by yourself can be hard, even when you have support in your life. If you are feeling lost, overwhelmed or are searching for self-understanding, therapy is an excellent choice. Just as finding the deeper meaning in suffering may be important, sometimes simply solving day to day practical issues is as well. Either way, the value of inner work far exceeds what we can imagine."

"I offer a genuine, compassionate and respectful relationship with my clients, so they can reach greater self-awareness and insight. My goal is to help each person I work with reach greater satisfaction with the overall quality of their life and attain the personal tools needed to strengthen intimate relationships. I view mental health similarly to physical health: when there's an injury or illness, seeking professional intervention, guidance and support can improve overall wellness."

"I provide compassionate, calm, warm, collaborative, direct psychotherapy influenced by a variety of psychological modalities. I believe much may be accomplished through the trusted relationship between the therapist and a person in a safe, comfortable environment. And growth accomplished by an in-depth look at serious life experiences. I provider both brief and long term psychotherapy."

"Therapy is your time to gather, to reflect, process, grieve, learn, release & grow into wholeness. In relational therapy we work together, to support & build your authenticity, your ability to become aware of your responses, and feelings towards yourself and the world around you. We learn together, the ways we draw closer to, or away from, a loving connection. Together, we can untangle thoughts, heal, understand and build towards balanced existence. "

"Sometimes life presents challenges that are too difficult to manage on one's own and therapy can be an excellent choice to address those obstacles. Therapy provides a conversation that is not available in any other relationship. I invite people to explore and clarify what they want and together we identify the barriers and create attainable goals. We will work together to understand what really matters to you. My treatment style is warm, direct, humorous and deeply respectful While each individual client requires something unique to them, in general, I offer practical solutions while also using an insight-orientated approach."

"We come to therapy to understand and solve our most complex personal challenges. When suffering goes deep enough, therapy is an intuitive response to problems that are emotionally complex and cannot be solved by our ordinary methods. Therapy alleviates our isolation by giving us the specialized and dedicated attention of a therapist. Therapy restores or kindles confidence in our ability to make it through difficult times. Lastly, it gives us some emotional distance, some sense of freedom, from the at times consuming turmoil of our personal lives by stimulating a deeper or broader understanding."

"My work is mainly focused on providing services to adult patients with moderate to severe psychopathology, primarily Depressive disorders, Bipolar spectrum disorders, Anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD and Personality disorders. In addition, I treat people with complex medical problems, managing autoimmune disorders, cancer, diabetes and high risk pregnancies co morbid with mood disorders. "

""The more aspects of myself I am given the freedom to know and live without reacting to as right or wrong, good or bad, the more I can witness all the elements of who I am and the healthier I am" ---Diane Shainberg. As a psychotherapist, I practice with the belief that therapy can be a rich and vital exploration into understanding the deepest parts of ourselves.The parts we cherish as well as the parts we want to change."

"My ideal client is someone who wants solutions to current life issues, but also to explore and let go of limiting beliefs and patterns. Many of them deal with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and blocked creativity. Uncovering and releasing unresolved emotions opens up space for lasting change. My Mind/Body approach integrates relational talk therapy, somatics, and expressive arts. Through these processes of self-discovery and healing, clients may feel more empowered and connected with their innate vitality and creativity."

"Tired of not living fully. Get therapy now! Learn tools to be more engaged and present with your life and the people in it. One such tool is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a way of directing your attention away from habitual thoughts(lists, judgements, negative self talk)and toward experiencing the present(where your life is actually being lived). I believe in the power of this work. Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, difficult relationships and addictions can be products of molding to others' ideas of who you "should" be. I will work with you to uncover who you want to be."

"Powerful Change and Success Is Possible! If you're feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, frustrated and without hope that your child will ever learn and behave I can help. In a few short months your child can become more empowered in all areas of their life and more self accepting of their gifts in order to take challenges and turn them into assets. I will share with you proven techniques so you can achieve amazing high-impact results in your child's behavior, socialization skills, and school performance using the fewest steps in the shortest amount of time."

"I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a private practice in San Francisco. I received my Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Mills College where my focus was on attachment theory and research, and earned by Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley. I trained as an adolescent and family therapist in public middle and high schools for five years before starting my practice. I now specialize in working with adults, adolescents and their families, and prenatal and postpartum mothers. "

"I am an experienced therapist who has been working with teens, individuals, couples and families for over 30 years. I see therapy as a partnership: you enter this process with your particular issues and uniqueness and together, through building trust, being curious, and using specialized techniques, you progress. My approach is based on my client's personal history and their needs and, in general, I am quite interactive. I provide short-term as well as long-term treatment."

"I help people overcome emotional barriers to restore healthy self-image and intimacy in relationships. My style is compassionate, playful and heartfelt. I specialize in working with attachment issues, recovering addicts, codependent relationships, adults from neglectful/abusive families, victims of sexual abuse, social anxiety, issues related to identity and problems with intimacy. I'm also a certified PREPARE/ENRICH facilitator who conducts assessment-based premarital and relationship therapy. "

"Many people turn to therapy when they don't know where else to turn. You might be feeling pain or feelings that are confusing or overwhelming to you; you may be acting (or thinking) in ways that you would rather not act (or think). I see therapy as a unique opportunity to engage in a collaborative relationship--focusing on your needs--that helps you go where you want to go in your life, or heal what needs to be healed. Together, we will work to create the safe environment that you need to do your work. "

"Do you find yourself lost in sadness, frustration, fear or hopeless? Do you get stuck in difficulties that hinder the flow of harmony in your life? Do you wonder who you are and what you want to be? I deeply believe that everyone has the potential for growth and expanding self-awareness. I walk with clients on this healing journey to reveal their natural strength and connect to their wisdom. I invite clients who want to deepen their work and connect to their authentic self as well as those looking for assistance with a specific issue such as anxiety, grief or depression."

"I believe each of us can lead lives of authenticity, balance, and purpose through mindfulness and self-reflection. I aim to create a warm, peaceful space for healing and awakening, a place where you can slow down your breath, calm the chattering of your mind, and get in touch with a deeper, more divine part of yourself. Life can be scary at times. We all need someone we can count on: to listen, to try to understand, and to hold our hand as we travel rocky terrain. I will take that voyage with you when you are ready."
