In Person Therapists in 94904

I am a licensed psychologist who sees individuals, couples and families for more than 20 years. My goal is to help patients live psychologically healthier and more fulfilling lives. My patients want to remove obstacles and recover hope, purpose and themselves. I help explore deeper issues and patterns underlying persistent unhappiness, as well as help navigate life transitions that are overwhelming. Adjusting to uncertainty, new beginnings, endings, isolation, grief, and constantly changing conditions are challenging and can cause us to get stuck. I can help unstick.

Are you feeling stressed out, alone, unheard, or stuck? Have you recently lost a loved one? Or maybe you’re experiencing stress, anxiety, loss of sleep, fatigue, sadness or worry all the time and now these struggles have impacted your relationships and/or career? I’m glad you’re taking the time to step back and notice you are struggling and recognize you don’t have to do it alone. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, non-judgmental place where I can listen to you and provide you with guidance on your journey to a healthier, happier you.

Lasting change occurs in therapy when one identifies and works through their concerns that have been outside their awareness. I develop a non-judgmental, intimate working alliance with my clients, in order to facilitate this self-understanding, both emotionally and intellectually. Such work fosters growth and creative responses to long standing difficulties in relationship to one's self and others. In return for investing themselves fully, my clients are offered the freedom to be more completely who they are, while also being able to maintain close and fulfilling relationships.

Themes from my first book, His Cold Feet (St. Martin's Press, 2008) can show up during life stages beyond pre-engagement. Wanting to strengthen communication, fear of change, improving relationships, or feeling in limbo can show up in various ways. Sometimes it's a new perspective that helps reframe our thinking. To break through what's getting in the way of achieving a goal, improving a habit, or solving an issue, it helps to look at the picture from another angle. Like art, we may look at a painting, and see what we see. But when someone else points out features that didn’t initially catch our eye, it widens our perspective.

I start with where you are. My approach is pragmatic, dynamic, and solution oriented based on client-centered goals. I truly enjoy working with elementary age children, older teens/young adults and older adults.

Are you stuck in unhealthy patterns that you don't know how to break? Or struggling with something and thinking you might need extra support? Whether we tackle long-standing issues or address an immediate problem, you will find this integrative therapy useful and be grateful you took up this endeavor. I have a very modern, honest and direct style of communicating that allows us to focus on your goals in a collaborative and constructive way, but more importantly, in a way that makes sense to you.

I believe you are the expert in your own experiences and the therapist's role is to guide you towards accessing the part of yourself that already knows the answer. Therapy is an opportunity to sit in a nurturing environment where anything can be said with acceptance. The gift of therapy provides a chance to hone your coping skills and bolster your resilience in your own time and at your own pace. In our work together I will meet you where you're at in your healing journey. You will have the opportunity to learn to activate your natural resiliency and self-acceptance to let go of shame, anger, or guilt that may be holding you back.

Relationships can be the most rewarding and the most frustrating thing in our lives. When going well, you feel great. When there is conflict you are at a loss. You may find yourself struggle with a partner or parent, your children or co workers, we can ask the same questions. How do you manage your needs with someone else's? Do you even know what your needs are? How do you communicate with kindness and compassion, yet feel liberated to express what you truly feel? When you are overwhelmed do you find yourself running away or run after the person? These questions and more are the ones to ask.

Therapy can be a source of tremendous relief and gratification. Unhappiness and anxiety that feel unbearable can lessen and disappear when you have someone who can help you understand the reasons for your suffering. A good therapist can also help you more easily get your mind off upsetting thoughts that preoccupy you. Or if you find yourself acting in self-defeating ways, studying it with a therapist can be of enormous help. Ideally, you will leave an initial consultation with a new way of thinking about the problem that brought you in.

I'm Maia Newman, a seasoned licensed therapist working with individuals and couples determined to improve their lives. I can help you with all of your relationship concerns; from being single and seeking a relationship to adjusting from a divorce or the loss of a partner. If you are in a relationship I can assist you with keeping passion alive over time, improving communication, negotiating life transitions and role changes, aligning parenting, healing after an affair, or separating from your partner if that is the healthiest option. I have successfully helped many couples in times of crisis to stay together.

Getting professional assistance works, but it's not easy to ask for help. In practice for over 25 years, I find that many emotionally challenging problems can be treated with insight, support, and education. In a confidential and discreet setting, together we can look honestly at what's going on and find personalized solutions for you. Whether you're struggling with a life transition, a family problem, an addiction or a health challenge, together, we'll get you moving in the direction you desire.

Whether your decision to make changes involves freedom from painful limiting beliefs, release from repetitive relationship patterns, or transformation through sincere self-examination, I help people to fully realize the person they are destined to become. I work with adults, couples, teens, and families, helping them to successfully attain short-term goals and craft long-range solutions by utilizing a variety of approaches matched to their specific needs or expressed desires as they learn new ways to address life's challenges. As a level 3 Gottman couples therapist, I work with couples utilizing John Gottman's evidence-based theory.

I believe that feeling safe is the most necessary factor for us to create change in our lives. Each of us deserves to feel valued for who we are. Often our life experiences, beginning in childhood, have convinced us we are undeserving of happiness and good things. How can we create the life we long for if we don't believe we deserve it? Sometimes it is necessary to unlearn some of the distorted messages that came out of childhood. I can help you uncover what is in your way and help you to heal.

Making a career change can be a powerful and transforming experience. I offer a wide range of personal testing, action planning, career counseling and professional development In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere. I have a highly personalized approach tailored to each of our client's individual needs, to help them attain the personal growth & success they're striving for. My combination of long business experience, psychological insight and career counseling provides you with the tools you need to discover your strengths, develop your action plan and achieve your next steps.

I help anxious clients who want to build healthy relationships and meaningful lives . I specialize in treating anxiety disorders including panic, fear of flying, general anxiety, OCD, and social anxiety, with evidence based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I treat individuals and couples with relationship issues including addiction using Schema therapy, ACT, and Gottman methods. I am a behaviorist and believe changing behaviors is fundamental to changing outcomes. I work with clients on active life skills and narratives to thrive and create meaning and connection. I work with psychiatrists, physicians and support 12 step groups.

Life without connections is a life without meaning. Connection to others, but most significant connection to our deeper Selves, bring meaning and wholeness to our lives. Sometimes we may feel lonely, unseen, and "stuck." Depth psychotherapy can be a vehicle to help you discover and bring healing to those parts of yourself that have been injured and/or ignored. In my work as a psychotherapist and Jungian analyst, I like to include dreams, sandplay, and other ways to access the unconscious mind.

Are stress and worry getting you down? Well, take a deep breath and look no further. With the help of therapy, we can work together to find the life balance that has always been meant for you. As with all things that are challenging, the first step takes courage and vulnerability, but here you are, you did it! Now what? In our work together we will examine top stressors, identify coping strategies, reflect deeply on early experiences, and implement change. Over time, and with compassion, my aim is to support personal growth and self-discovery for years to come. My work is grounded in allowing space for my clients to be the experts.

I provide compassionate and caring evidence based treatment using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I treat problems including generalized anxiety disorder, depression, panic, PTSD and OCD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. I work primarily with adults, older adults, adolescents (ages 16+) and their families. Cognitive therapy is active, directive, and structured- each session focuses on a specific set of problems. I am especially interested in helping young adults who are experiencing more complex and serious mental illnesses (such as bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders) and their families.
