My clients are adults across Oakland, the East Bay, and California who are quietly carrying more than they should have to. They come in navigating anxiety, depression, sleep struggles, life transitions, and trauma; often having pushed through for a long time before reaching out. Many are Black women and people of color who have felt unseen or underserved by traditional mental health systems. They may not have the words yet for what's wrong, only the feeling that something needs to change. What brings them to Cloud Chiron Therapy is a flicker of hope that it doesn't have to stay this way.
I offer culturally responsive, psychodynamic therapy that goes beneath the surface. You are a unique masterpiece, and you deserve a therapist who treats you that way. I hand the expert role back to you from day one. Together, we find where freedom is possible. I also offer CBT-I for insomnia, one of the few treatments can release you from sleep issues.
From our first conversation, I step out of the expert role because you are the expert on your own life. I see you as a unique masterpiece, and it is my privilege to learn how you were made. If any part of you is wondering "does it have to be this way?" I'd love to hear from you.
