"Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process. I believe in trusting intuition when it comes to evaluating a match with a potential therapist. In my experience, a positive and trusting connection is the basis for creating growth and change. I work with adults and adolescents over 14 on a variety of issues, including achieving greater mood stability, identity issues, improved relationships and sexuality and recovery from trauma. I have experience working effectively with people who identify as trans or genderqueer, and those with diverse lifestyles. "

"Do you have neck pain, headaches, chronic abdominal pain or stress? Are you spending too much time in the car or in front of a screen, and find that you have tight muscles? I'm here to help! Together we can choose the healing modality that best suits your needs. We can work with a hands on healing modality such as Osteopathic Manual Medicine or Feldenkrais® Functional Integration, or Biofeedback. I'll partner with you to learn how you can make changes to reduce pain and increase your well-being. I'm here to help you learn new skills and enjoy the process of working together. "

"Hello and welcome! I offer therapy to adults, teens and couples. I believe therapy is a collaborative process; you can think of me as a companion as we travel down the roads of your growth together. There is no need to go through life suffering - let me help you put down the weights you have been carrying. I am committed to helping my clients become the most authentic version of themselves. My style of therapy is warm, authentic and collaborative. You can count on friendly, non-judgmental and stigma-free care. "

"I use an interactive, supportive approach to help adults, couples, and families work through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and self-defeating patterns of behavior. In my work as a developmental psychologist, I have dedicated my career to understanding and reversing the effects of early adaptive patterns that evolve into difficulties later in life. I enjoy helping people work through these difficulties, some of which can be extremely painful and debilitating. Without such help, this can be an impossible task. Lack of self-acceptance and expectation of rejection are always near the center of the problem."

"Are you feeling stuck on a past relationship or experience? Finding it hard to cultivate compassion for yourself? Yearning for more creativity in your life? Would you like to develop an openness to growth and problem-solving, or a fresh approach to parenting? If any of these concerns resonate with you, and/or you are looking for ways to manage your depression, anxiety, or responses to a traumatic experience, I may be able to work together with you to find answers and new ways of living."

"Dealing with stress is part of running your business. But abusing substances to cope was NOT a part of the plan. Every entrepreneur juggles demands. Getting funding. Managing people. And, certainly, taking care of your mental health. But deliverables and critical milestones are unrelenting - meetings, managing partnerships, and showing positive returns. Your family tries to support you, but they don’t really understand your struggles. Clearly, you don’t want to go back to using. A relapse could be fatal. You want to show up clean for business and family. You want success. How do you balance all this?"

"My approach consists of assisting people in identifying and exploring the stressors, issues, or losses that are causing pain, in order to begin to address them. I have a warm, direct communication style and will support you in developing a practice of self-care and self-reflection, while also implementing practical solutions, and coping skills. Building a healthy curiosity about your behavior, thoughts, and feelings will be encouraged in order to achieve a better understanding of the conscious and unconscious influences that perpetuate difficulties and conflicts. Deepening a self-understanding strengthens an ability to build healthier, more satisfying relationships with others and with yourself."

"I'm passionate, dedicated, funny and curious. I have a huge, caring heart that is accompanied by a sharp and innovative mind. You will feel listened to and understood in ways that will surprise you, as I pick up on the gist of things, and then add thoughts, questions and layers. I will marvel at your uniqueness as I witness your beauty and despair. That will allow you to be the best version of yourself at any time, and will give you new breath so that you may deal with your life better."

"Many people are struggling to live purposefully in the tension of our changing world. You may feel overwhelmed with emotions and experiences that are difficult to bear. Painful issues and conflicting feelings inside yourself and in your relationships are good reasons to seek a therapist. I provide a safe and thoughtful place where you can face your obstacles and increase your ability to live your life with more fullness and meaning. My approach is engaged and collaborative. I offer empathy, knowledge, and tools to help you understand yourself and others in new ways."

"I have been working for over 30 years helping a wide range of people create lasting, meaningful changes in their lives. My INDIVIDUAL THERAPY is personally tailored to each client. I use a solution focused approach for short-term issues and an in-depth model for longer term problems. In COUPLES THERAPY I work to create positive connections of closeness and depth, fostering intimacy and trust. In my DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, ABUSE AND ANGER THERAPY my goal is to establish abuse free relationships based on trust, cooperation and mutual support. Through my THERAPY FOR HABIT CHANGE unwanted problematic patterns are transformed."

"I offer a compassionate, safe space in which to explore and work with the feelings, fear, anxieties and uncertainty of these challenging times. I also .offer support and tools with which you can begin to change negative patterns, heal early wounding, learn to support yourself with self-acceptance, and open to new possibilities. "

"I have always found the more relational and emotionally based this work is then the more rewarding and successful it is for clients and myself. I work with a wide range of clients. Their basic desire is to connect with themselves and others. Of late, it seems, many of my clients are couples; men ; adolescents; and mid-life and elderly of both sexes. Each are addressing important problems and/or transitional stages of life. Our work can be fearful and/or fearless, exciting and/or slow and always the challenge of facing not-knowing, making choices and exploring ourselves."

"My name is Keely Burke, and I'm a therapist and supervisor at Center for Creative Growth. I believe that each client relationship is unique, and I see my role as co-creating a healing space that assists you in living your most authentic, creative, and satisfying life. It is deeply inspiring and moving for me to assist you on your sacred journey of healing. In addition to individual, couples, family, teen, and child therapy, I have created a new, ongoing women's therapy group using the arts and experiential therapies that begins in May. See the "Groups" section below for more details."

"I work with adults, couples, and adolescents. My work is grounded in contemporary and relational psychoanalytic theory, with particular attention paid to multicultural context. My psychotherapy practice serves people who feel blocked by certain behaviors or patterns of relating with people, who seek to improve individual well-being and personal relationships, and/or who have experienced trauma within their families or elsewhere, including survivors of war or other conflict. I also work directly with elders and adults with mental health and chronic health conditions, and with caregivers of family/community members."

"Do you know that something needs to change in your life? Does your heart or your stomach hurt when you think about your relationship or your job or just the direction your life is going? Are you feeling overwhelmed, tired, or stuck and don't know where to turn? I specialize in working with people like you who are in transition in their lives. Together we can use this moment as an opportunity. We can identify your strengths and build on them to spark change and get you moving forward again."

"Therapy can help, you’re not alone. Contact me to schedule your 1st appointment. I do accept Beacon Health insurance through Alameda Alliance; not through Kaiser. "

"Would you like to know yourself better and more deeply? To be able to move beyond painful and frustrating patterns in your feelings, relationships, and work? Sometimes it's clear why we feel and act how we do: ecstatic about a new romance, upset about a professional disappointment, awash with grief following the loss of a loved one. Other times feelings and behaviors may surprise you—a nagging anxiety, a lingering sadness, memories of past experiences that you thought you'd left behind, a sense that your relationship with a partner could be deeper, that work could be more fulfilling even as you have success along the way."

" I am a seasoned clinical psychologist with extensive experience providing mental health treatment. I work from the perspective that people strive to understand themselves, and want to create positive change in their lives so they can meet their potential. I believe that treatment works best when it is tailored to your individual personality and needs . "

"We will work together to reach your goals, and you will leave my office feeling less alone. I specialize in working with adolescents, couples and individuals (particularly peri-and-post natal women and families). I love helping adolescents conquer anxiety and build self-confidence using a self-compassion approach. I have advanced training in using the highly effective EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) with couples. Using an attachment science lens, I help couples use therapy to get their emotional needs met in their relationship. Finally, I am passionate about supporting women's mental health through transitions of family building. "

"I believe people are inherently oriented to heal and grow. Sometimes on the healing journey we need support to navigate difficult transitions, especially if old traumas are clouding our current vision. My role as a psychologist is to accompany you on your personal path. I welcome people with all types of concerns. I am especially experienced in treating people struggling with trauma, eating and body image issues, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, life transitions, relationship and parenting issues."
