Hello, I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in the East Bay Area, California. I also offer Telehealth services for patients who reside in New York and California. Bilingual therapy is provided in English/Spanish. I specialize in working with clients who experience depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, and relationship issues. In my practice, I strive to create a warm, trusting and supportive environment, which I believe is essential to the healing process. I work collaboratively with clients to address their emotional distress and help them achieve self-growth and the changes they are looking for.

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, CMHIMP
Verified
My experience comes from 31 years of helping children, adults, couples and families in both Community Mental Health and Private Practice. My approach is eclectic and tailored to each individual's needs to facilitate healing and growth. Through my years of experience I have witnessed over and over again people coming into therapy with great pain, discomfort and despair but with time, (sometimes within a very short time) their symptoms diminish and a whole new person emerges. Crisis times can be extremely painful and distressful but they can also be opportunities for growth and healing through therapy.

My clients are often going through transitions and learning to cope with changes in their lives or things they may be unable to change. Many clients often express a need to “feel better”. Some clients may be suffering from depression, anxiety, or more specific disorders. I am able to help clients find ways to know their story and how they can overcome any obstacles in their life. Whether it be working on your new self or working back towards who they were before, I am here to help my clients achieve their goals.

Psychologist, PsyD

Life can feel overwhelming, isolating, or riddled with anxiety and depression. Perhaps things feel stuck and you are seeking a change and want more out of life. Early adulthood is a particularly challenging time. It can be difficult to challenge the perceptions of the world shaped by our families and upbringing, while maintaining the shared connections and values. It is a time to explore racial, sexual, and gender identities. A task made more complicated when layered with neurodiversity, trauma, grief, or a life circumstance that makes you feel different. Therapy can offer a sense of insight, stability, and self-acceptance.

My goal as a therapist is to help you find your way to a life of meaning and vitality. I collaborate with clients to change their relationship with thoughts and emotions in order to pursue what is deeply important to them. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, stress, balancing work and your life, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life, let's connect and see what kind of a life you can create!
Jules Farzan
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
Expect warmth, authenticity, and respect in our sessions. I tailor treatment based on a client’s unique challenges and goals. For those facing anxiety or trauma, I help them face their fears in a systematic manner. Therapy also entails helping clients challenge stuck points to gain a sense of empowerment over unhelpful thoughts. For those facing insomnia, I guide them to increase sleep efficiency. My aim is to help clients live a life that is fuller and more in line with their values.

Associate Clinical Social Worker, ACSW

Do you feel anxious and unsatisfied in your relationships? Or do you find it difficult to be your authentic self, and live in line with your values? Having a strong social and racial justice lens, I know the systems that envelop us were not designed for all of our wellbeing. Yet, I believe we all deserve a higher quality of life, relationships and most of all love. As a therapist I aspire to create a space, where you can unravel from the toxic systems and patterns that create anxiety, and diminish your abundance. I believe that sometimes true compassion and empathy from an outside source, can help us uncover what we need to thrive.

"We are now able to see the essential ingredient that makes psychotherapy effective and successful. Is is not "unconditional positive regard," nor is it magical words, techniques, or postures; it is human involvement and struggle. It is the willingness of the therapist to extend himself or herself for the purpose of nurturing the patient's growth - willingness to go out on a limb, to truly involve oneself at an emotional level in the relationship."

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/family issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.

Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

Therapy provides a special opportunity to slow down and focus on what's most important, with support and guidance. I create a safe and nonjudgmental environment for you to explore the difficulties, heartaches, old wounds, stuck places, or joys and celebrations of your life. This process involves listening to the wisdom of your body and emotions as well as your mind. Collaborating with you, I will support you to develop a more intimate relationship with yourself and your many facets, to expand your capacity to satisfyingly connect with others, and to illuminate and transform what blocks you from living your best life.

Racism, harassment, brutality, microaggressions affect our levels of self-esteem, anxiety and depression. You're feeling shame and embarrassment. You are reeling from the shock, anger and pain and find it difficult to talk to others. You are experiencing trauma, and reliving it in your mind and alone. Telling those who may not understand, often makes it worse. I help and support those who've been affected by inequality of all forms, especially stemming from racism. I provide a safe space where you're heard and validated. Receiving support helped me heal from these experiences, and is crucial. Virtual therapy for CA residents

Do you ever struggle with feeling like you’re not enough? Do you feel like you have to prove yourself? Do you feel stuck and triggered by childhood trauma? The symptoms of trauma include anxiety, depression, high conflict relationships, occupational impairment, addiction, and much more. I believe therapy can help you develop a more self-awareness and actionable plan to alleviate these symptoms. I specialized in working with people who are willing to explore past, present, and future challenges and to find tools for personal growth.

You may be seeking therapy because despite your successes, you feel unhappy, worried, overwhelmed and unfulfilled in your life. You may be seeking more satisfying relationships with family, friends and intimate partners. Perhaps your life is being touched by major changes and this time, you aren’t able to hold all the pieces by yourself. Or perhaps you need support with addressing the complexities and emotional strain associated with being a child of immigrant parents or navigating the world as a person of color. You may have found short-term strategies helpful in the past but are looking for more long term change and satisfaction.

Valorie Herd
Psychologist, MA, PsyD

It is a privilege to help others who are seeking support on their journey. As a licensed psychologist who enjoys working with adults, children, families, couples, as well as groups, I appreciate a holistic approach to lifestyle changes. It is important to consider physical, mental and emotional health to increase our quality of life. We don’t have control over some circumstances in life, but we can work to optimally navigate what comes our way. Cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, mindfulness for stress reduction, managing occupational strain and psychoeducation are some of the techniques I find helpful.
Your Pace Psychotherapy
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
My approach is collaborative and active. I balance making therapy challenging at times, yet playful enough so that you will want to come back. My clients say this therapy-on-the-move is easier than a traditional sit-on-a-couch scenario in which the confinement of the room can get in the way of the work. I think for some people — especially teens & young adults — the idea of sitting in a room with a therapist is antithetical to being in a space that is good for sharing tough stuff. All that said, the outdoor work is *part* of the practice, roughly 50% of our time together will likely be spent indoors.

Do you have relationships in your life that are not working, and no matter what you do, it doesn't seem to get better? Are you looking for a partner, but find that it never seems to work out? Do you feel disconnected from others and are longing for relationships that are solid and fulfilling? Relationships take work and psychotherapy is an opportunity to understand who you are in relationship and how to create and healthy and supportive connections. I work with both individuals and couples to explore, cultivate and sustain intimacy.
