We cannot get through life without difficult times. None of us can. Whether it's a family conflict, career predicament, or personal trauma we are going to experience them. And, yet, how we handle them can make all the difference in our future and the future of those we love. I have been doing psychotherapy for a long time, both with individuals and with couples, and hope I have developed an ability to help manage these life situations. I work with people in both short-term crisis situations and longer-term therapy contexts, from their teens to their nineties.

As a normal functioning person, you are struggling with challenges affecting your relationships, work and family life. Complex, yet common, issues around love, family, purpose in life, and doing what truly makes you happy have become an overwhelming "white elephant" stampede and are making you feel depressed and anxious and confused. Despite trying to "fix" the problems, they don't go away, and you seek clarification and forward movement to get yourself back on track.

Dr. Jennifer White-Baughan is a clinical psychologist with 27 years of experience specializing in the treatment of trauma, depression and anxiety in children, adolescents, and adults. My clients have said that I am a master therapist who creates a context of safety for clients to learn new skills and to explore patterns of self limiting beliefs while calling on the clients own resilience. Words used to describe Dr. White-Baughan are wise, deeply loving and spiritually expansive.

For women, men, and couples midlife and long term infertility are life stages that can be filled with grief, confusion, transition and lack of control. My clients come to me saying, “I’m not who I used to be, and I’m not sure who I am now. Don't know how we can move forward.” I am passionate about people in their 40’s and 50’s because I believe that a “third act” is lying just ahead. It’s a stage in life that can be fulfilling, exciting and meaningful. It just doesn't always feel that way.

I've been practicing psychology in Sausalito for over 20 years. The people with whom I work are normally functioning individuals who come in to explore issues that represent some ongoing disruptive pattern in their lives. Together, we actively engage in discourse intended to stimulate meaningful insights and reflections; as we consider possible changes that may help them to lead more genuine and integrated lives.

I would like to tell potential clients that my style is interactive, that I am a good listener, and that most people improve if they are committed to changing. I am particularly good at treating grief and trauma. Patients have come in with multiple losses, have seen their loved ones hurt, injured or murdered, or have themselves been raped, or assaulted and have turned their lives around. Many clients cannot get over a loss of a husband, wife, or lover and have been able to move forward. I value a partnership. I value an open heart and emotional expression.

I assume you're here because you're struggling in some way, and that whatever you've been doing in your life to deal with your pain simply isn't working any longer. So you've hit a kind of impasse, and you're unable to work around the pain, manage it, ignore it. My clients usually find me through some kind of loss--a divorce or relationship upset, an illness or other transitional experience--often accompanied by difficult feelings and behaviors. Taken together, the result is a crisis of meaning and a radical disruption of the status quo of their lives.

I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing stress, recovering from trauma, and dealing with transition. I have a warm, collaborative approach wherein you and I work together to assess how you are affected by certain core beliefs, and then begin to think about what's in your best interest. Working from a Control Mastery perspective, I believe that you have a plan to overcome what's difficult for you and my job is to help you actualize it.

I've been in private practice for over 26 years in the San Francisco Bay Area working with individuals ,couples and families seeking support for trauma, life transitions, and development. Whatever stimulus propels an individual to seek support, can be an opportunity for each person to engage more fully in their life. The therapeutic process is an organic one that involves a mutual exploration between myself and clients with the client's needs and purpose informing the process. What may seem an obstacle may be an opening when viewed from a different perspective with another,to make a difference in one's mental health.

As parents and clinicians, we know it is hard to have a unique brain in a typical world. We know you need different navigational tools in these turbulent waters. So, we designed a program based on well-researched therapies for all ages that will strengthen core brain functions - attention, memory, processing speed and problem-solving - and increase social skills. For parents, we work together to find the right community supports and develop the skills you need as a parent to support a calm and thriving family life.

In my psychotherapy practice I use supportive and insight-focused approaches, together with techniques derived from cognitive behavioral therapy with the goal of helping people find their own sense of agency. My most fundamental assumption is that people are always trying to overcome the psychological obstacles that interfere with their happiness and that the therapist's job is to help identify those obstacles and suggest better ways to cope with them.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with masters in both Counseling Psychology (MA) and Clinical Social Work (LCSW-R, NY, and LCSW, CA) with over thirty years of experience. As an individual practitioner, I specialize in depression and anxiety in adults over eighteen years of age. During my career, my clients ranged from drug-involved adolescents to adult schizophrenics. I was also a clinical director of a 150-client workshop for dual-diagnosed schizophrenic and mentally challenged adults. Working twelve years in community service centers, I treated a broad range of psychological disorders and supervised a suicide hot line.

How do you respond to life's challenges? For 26 years, licensed in private practice, I collaboratively join in the process of listening to your stories and dreams, discovering openings for honoring your authentic Self.

I address addictive disorders, emotional traumas, and help re-enliven blocked creativity. I'm a past clinical supervisor and Certified Continuing Education Provider in Jungian Dreamwork, Guided Imagery and "Using movies for illuminating Psychological Issues".

Ally of personal growth and empowerment. Sessions are transformative, compassionate, warm and sometimes humorous, with shared knowledge and wisdoms. We are often more powerful than we realize, I enjoy assisting others in connecting with their own empowerment.

I work with young and middle aged adults who are experiencing anxiety, dread, self-criticism, or are feeling lost or stuck in life with difficulty making decisions. Together we will explore what your suffering/unease is pointing to, and discover what may be trying to surface in your life in order to bring more well-being and increased feelings of inner sturdiness, compassion, and equanimity. Through working together we will find what needs attention inside and identify what helps you feel more at home inside yourself and in your life.

I am not the type of therapist that sits in a chair and nods silently at everything you say. My approach is warm, direct and healing on multi-levels. Depending on each individual case we can explore talking your story, expanding your breath, expressing ranges of emotion or moving your body. I consider my work and the space I hold as sacred. There are many doorways into the experience of freedom and together we can find the one that fits your Self.
