I am Dr. Noah Asch Psy.D., and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist serving the communities located in Contra Costa County. My passion is helping children and teens build self-confidence, conquer their worries, feel better about themselves, and feel more connected to their friends and family.

Your teen, your family or you yourself are struggling. The struggle could be overall life changes, an increase in conflict/parenting issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, or an eating disorder. Through individual, parent and/or family counseling we will deepen emotional awareness, create coping skills to handle stressors, build connection and generate hope for you and your families future.

Hello! I'm a Elizabeth, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 11 years in the field. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples in areas such as eating disorders, trauma & PTSD, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, amongst others. I approach psychotherapy from the perspective and belief that all clients have the ability to change, and that together we can do this. My top modalities are humanistic, client-centered, EMDR and trauma-informed care, and eclectic.

Life can be challenging at times, and taking the step to improve your quality of life is important. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and my approach to therapy starts with providing a warm, welcoming environment and building a strong foundation. I work hard to ensure a safe and comfortable space for my clients. My passion is helping people heal and grow through their experiences and challenges. I will provide an open space for you to explore your challenges, learn more about yourself, and grow through these difficult times.

Welcome to my practice! Thank you for considering working together with me. I am a licensed Marriage Family and Child Therapist, with over thirty years of experience. I have experience, working with people of all ages, from a variety of cultural backgrounds. I have successfully helped many people overcome anxiety issues, depression, relationship issues, and issues related to trauma. It is both a privilege and an honor to be in this profession. I have great passion for this work and believe that therapy can have a significant impact in people's lives.

Life is more stressful than ever in our culture right now and we all have conditioning that makes this stress even more difficult and overwhelming to navigate. Yet parallel to this stress is the presence of clarity, abundance and serenity. I can help guide you back into a place of feeling rooted and grounded where you truly begin to embody what it feels like to know your own worthiness and value. This is your birthright! It takes a lot of courage to take the steps of seeking therapy. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental atmosphere for you to explore thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that you are questioning.

Sometimes we find ourselves in a valley, feeling depleted and uninspired. We realize we have been stuck in the same cycles, having exhausted all of the tools that once worked and unsure why change feels impossible. Sometimes we just need someone to see the best in us, to hold hope when we're barely hanging on. Therapy shouldn't be something we dread, but rather an opportunity to feel encouraged and poured into, inspired and deeply understood.

My greatest desire is for you to flourish and be free. Change is always difficult - even good change. If you need support during any transitional phase of life, I am happy to help. I have specific training and experience in many realms, including: young adult transitions & adjustment, depression & anxiety, mothering & post-partum, parenting children with disabilities, trauma & abuse, gender identity, sexual orientation, spiritual growth, religious harm, & anti-racism. I work with young adults, adults, committed partners, gender non-conforming, intersex, & trans individuals, families, caregivers, empaths & highly sensitive people.

Emotions can get the best of you. Maybe you regret some things, have trouble in relationships, or legal issues. You're a concerned parent and want your son or daughter to control emotions, make responsible decisions and live out their potential. Are friends or family concerned about your drug and/or alcohol use? You hope for the day things get better, or maybe you’ve lost hope. Imagine feeling alive and confident with a fulfilling quality of life. Your children feeling good about themselves, solving problems in a healthy, responsible way and learning to manage once difficulty emotions.

I have 30 years experience in behavioral healthcare, mostly in private in-patient psychiatric hospitals but also in outpatient settings as well. I use person-centered and solution focused modalities.

Finding a therapist who is the "right fit" for you can be a challenging process; however, it is key to the success of therapy. Starting with a complementary phone consultation can be the first step where we can discuss your needs and desired outcomes. In my work with clients, I focus on creating a safe, supportive and collaborative space where you can have a positive therapeutic experience. I like to partner with clients in creating meaningful goals that will guide our work together. My goal is to help you gain insight into current challenges and develop effective strategies for managing them.

Imagine relating to yourself and others with ease and clarity. It is through our meaningful connections with self and others that we expand and thrive. Sometimes life gets sticky and the world seems to fold in on us. And, when this happens, you need someone with an objective, listening ear. If you're ready to navigate awakening to the Self, grief, loss, anxiety, depression, trauma or couples and parenting issues, I offer over 20 years of experience with proven techniques to help you through these tough times.

Has this pandemic taken a toll on your mental health and relationships? Have problems that weren't too bad 2 years ago become much worse since the pandemic started? A lot of people and relationships have been struggling to cope with high stress and anxiety, and have developed new, unhealthy coping habits like overeating and drinking, or using screen time for relaxation - leading to anxiety, panic attacks, relationship problems and more. The key to recovery is upgrading your coping skills to help you take control of your thoughts, emotions and choices, and learning new ways to manage life's stressors.

Teens and young adults are faced with a variety of challenges to navigate in our culture today which can be overwhelming, create confusion, fear, or uncertainty. This can result in feelings of stress, anxiety, or depression. Some ways they may cope with these feelings are suicidal ideation, substance abuse, or social anxiety and are in need of developing some healthy coping skills. Oftentimes having another caring adult, other than a parent, to confide in can be helpful as as they sort through their feelings about the challenges they are facing
