"I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist # 49976 with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. The majority of my work has been serving people of color and of various socio-economic, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. As a psychodynamic therapist, I work with my clients to bring into awareness how the past affects today. I use relational therapy to help my clients explore their relationship dynamics and to understand how interactional patterns and communication styles affect these relationships. I'm committed to building a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients, and always welcome feedback about how I can more effectively serve my clients' needs."

"Are you tired of rehearsing hurts, living in your past, and worrying about your future? Do you feel unworthy, maybe even hopeless, and you're filled with toxic thoughts that seem to be taking over your life? It may also seem as if sadness, frustration, fear, and anxiety have become your roommates. If so, you are most likely experiencing stress in your relationships, with family, in your social life, at work, with your health, finances, and more DUE TO WRONG THOUGHTS."

"Youngja is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She has a special heart for helping Korean-speaking immigrant parents who have gone through difficulties in this country, since she herself has experienced similar circumstances. The children of these parents also have unique challenges as they adjust to a new culture and a new environment. Many parents raise their children without major incident but some parents need extra help in their parenting. Youngja believes in God and experiences His unfailing love in her life. She uses Biblical principles with the knowledge and skills she learned in her professional training and life experiences in helping people."

"Change is possible, and I am here to help... You function on autopilot and don't feel "alive" anymore. Your mind never seems to be matching up with where your body is. You want to make "them" happy, but what you do never seems to be "good enough". You are turning into your mother or father. You don't like how you handle things anymore. You feel angry... at others... at yourself. You want something to be different, but you don't know how. "

"It is my belief that what keeps us from asking for guidance, someone to truly help us through our vulnerability, is the fear of being judged. Maybe we believe we are beyond help. Let me commit to you a safe space where compassion and nonjudgement are guaranteed; an interactive relationship where we stimulate thoughts, ideas & feelings. I'm "in it" with you journeying by your side. No matter how impossible it seems to shift the painful state you are in, it is possible. It is accessible sooner than you realize. Let me help you access the freedom to be you."

"I am eager to treat diverse children, adolescents, and/or adults, as individuals, couples, families, or groups. My Specialization is in health psychology/behavioral medicine, i.e. eating disorders, stress management, chronic illness, chronic pain management, sport psychology, grief and loss - including of a pet, and I bring forth significant experience with developmental delays/learning disabilities, testing/assessment, adoption/foster care, mood/anxiety disorders, trauma, divorce, substance abuse, and other life transitions. Additionally, I am open to providing consultation for interns taking the licensing exam or tabulating hours. Seeing my clients start life with renewed vigor is incredibly rewarding."

"Sometimes we can reach a point in life where we feel frustratingly stuck. The coping mechanisms that used to soothe us no longer work, and we feel as if we are repeating an old, but familiar cycle. These points become a great opportunity to look deeper within, to feel into what is most needed for our healing. This healing creates space to make decisions that are congruent with who you are. Because what heals us deeply, allows us to engage in our lives and relationships in a more meaningful way."

"I am so privileged and happy to say that I get the opportunity to help families and individuals feel, act and be better in their daily lives. I am currently working in Dublin at my private practice and have been in practice almost 10 years now. I specialize in adolescents and their families but see individuals and couples as well. I am a therapist who's natural ability to be professional, create a safe environment and accepting my clients for who they are has lead to almost all of my referrals coming from previous clients, friends and collegues."

"As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Couples Counselor, I support both couples and individuals—my work is to help you move through pain, miscommunication, or dissatisfaction in your sex life and relationships to find closeness and fulfillment. If sex feels "off": it's boring, or painful, or makes you anxious, OR if you dread coming home from work to avoid another fight OR if you feel alone in your relationship like you're roommates instead of lovers and partners OR if you're healing from betrayal or an affair, therapy can help you (and your partner) repair past hurts to create a fully satisfying marriage/relationship & life."

"Growing up in this valley, I understand first-hand the challenges being faced. Whether day-to-day issues or recurring struggles you are experiencing, I can help. I assist clients in learning to care for themselves while learning new behaviors that facilitate deep change and growth, no matter what stage of life you are in. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to help you see alternative ways of thinking while increasing your sense of self-worth. My style is warm, non-judgmental, and goal-oriented. It is my objective to provide a safe place for healing and for you to feel heard, understood, and encouraged."

"Facebook pictures on vacation with people that you love, a gorgeous smile, brightly colored clothes, and nice cars depicts a life that is being portrayed in front of the camera. But behind closed doors you are drowning in your sorrow. In fact you’re often consumed with fear and anxiety. Your past regrets and worries about your future are keeping you awake at night and you simply feel overwhelmed by the smallest changes in your life. You keep asking yourself “how did I get here”, “will this pain ever go away?”, “will I find love again”, “is my career over”, “does true happiness even exist”."

"Are you feeling hopeless and actually starting to believe that your family would be better off if you were gone? Are you just “making it through the day” and dread coming home because you feel like a failure at everything? Do you want to be a better parent or spouse but have no idea how to connect with your moody child, rebellious teen or distant partner? Have you lost your confidence in yourself overall and it’s now affecting your marriage, work, sleep, and sex life? When it comes to family & children a wait and see approach is not always the best solution, especially when you’re noticing that everything is starting to fall apart right in front of your eyes. "

"I am passionate about therapy that produces lasting, inner healing! I use a combination of several psychological theories, depending on what will best meet my client's needs, including ImTT and EMDR, to help clients experience healing and change in the places where their pain originated. This not only creates symptom reduction and/or extinction but also produces an outcome of inner peace, joy and freedom, putting an end to trying harder, pretending or "white-knuckling" through. I love this work and look forward to connecting with you in your journey toward emotional wholeness!"

"There are many factors that contribute to the decision to pursue therapy. Finding someone who can assist you at this significant time in your life is an important choice.

I highly value treating others with respect, empathy, and acceptance. Working with me you will find my style is warm, open, and interactive."

"What if you could... Free up the mental energy you burn through worrying about the future or regretting the past? Feel calmer in your body without resorting to substances, medications, or excessive exercise? Rebound more easily from stress, disappointment, or conflict? Have more attention available for relationships with your partner, children, or friends? Enjoy life again, or for the first time? I help people with these goals and more. I emphasize helping my clients develop increased emotional and mental resiliency so that they can enjoy their lives and the relationships that are important to them."

"What keeps us from asking for guidance when we need it the most? Is it the fear of being judged? Maybe we believe we are beyond help.

"My name is Sherrod W. Floyd and I am a California licensed clinical social worker (#26673). I specialize in Individual Therapy, Field Instruction (for MSW Interns) and Clinical Supervision for ACSWs and MFTs."

"I have had my clinical psychology practice in Dublin, serving a culturally diverse population, for over 20 years. I hold the view that an individual develops and matures within the context of many relationships, especially with parents and family. I assess the current level of psychological and emotional development and functioning, the strengths and weaknesses of the individual and the surrounding environment, and the individual's capacity for human relationship and for change."

"My clients often tell me they feel cared about. I enjoy helping people find what works for them individually and provide a relaxing environment. Depression and anxiety are most often the symptoms to bring individuals into treatment, couples learn ways to be supportive of one another. I listen, make suggestions and offer techniques that will provide ways to get more out of daily life."
