Therapists in Oakland, CA

My name is Lindsay Kay Parkinson, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Art Therapist, and Artist. My work is dedicated to creating trusting relationships and space for you to be yourself, knowing you can show up without fear of judgment. I will assist you in a process of self-discovery and growth that will help you feel better, more focused on your path and allow for increased self-compassion and acceptance.

Hello, my name is Anne Brace. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I've had many years of experience helping diverse clients create safe and fulfilling lives. I look forward to collaborating with new clients on their unique challenges. I have worked most often with adult women and have also provided mental health services to adult men, teenagers, children, and families. I am currently most interested in working with adults, on issues of anxiety, self-confidence/assertiveness, mood challenges, trauma histories, attachment/parenting, LGBTQ+ concerns, and culture-based stresses.

Our mission is to provide quality online mental health and substance abuse services while breaking down the barriers of traditional, office based therapy. Traditional mental health and substance abuse treatment tends to focus on what makes you sick, what you are lacking but at The Mindful Lemon, our clinicians let you sit in the driver’s seat, focusing on your strengths and assets to help you become the best version of you! This can be via traditional talk therapy, medication management, mindfulness techniques, an emphasis on health, wellness and fitness or any combination of the above.

I am a Taiwanese American immigrant in my 30s, an introvert, and INTJ. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been working in the mental health field since 2014. The things that matter to me are untangling early childhood experiences, strengthening relationships, and helping my clients learn new ways to cope with stressors. I work best with clients who care deeply about their relationships and wish to address feelings of loneliness, guilt, or issues of being burnt out in their careers and daily lives.

I have been a practicing therapist for over 5 years now. I have worked with a diverse group of populations dealing with depression/anxiety all the way to psychosis diagnoses. I implement a lot of Trauma Focused CBT and Motivational Interviewing into my practice. My clients have often told me that I bring a genuine and compassionate atmosphere to sessions which helps them feel more at ease. I take a very nonjudgmental "at your own pace" type of approach. I want to ensure you feel comfortable every step of the way through your journey with mental health.

I specialize in supporting women, college-aged individuals, young girls and teens. Together, we focus on your anxiety, depression and finding goals. All of these are quite treatable. Positive Psychology is a valuable tool for feeling supported and safe to talk about absolutely everything. A trusted psychologist reminds others of their strengths, how to center, self-regulate and feel more solid in oneself. For decades, I have treated ambiguous issues, offered compassionate therapy with depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Additionally, I support families and LGBTQ+ individuals. Feel free to contact me about positively anything.

My name is Deatria Davis and I'm an LMFT. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and non-judgment. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings while moving toward a journey of self-awareness, cultivating resilience, developing interpersonal skills, and the healing needed to form and sustain relationships with oneself and others. I use an integrative approach of CBT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Expressive Arts, and other theoretical approaches depending on the client's needs.

Hi, My name is Michelle Frizzelle. Ca LMFT 132628. My general therapeutic approach is to always treat my clients with respect and honesty. I am a very open minded person, who is not there to judge, but to see if we can find a plan that works for you. It's my goal to make you feel safe during sessions. I work intensively with trauma and anxiety. Finding ways to understand how trauma affects our life and how we can move forward in a more positive approach is doable. Let's see if this is a fit and we can explore what might work for you and your situation.

Fostering a climate of emotional safety and trust is paramount. When a person feels safe being vulnerable, they can begin the work of healing and change.

I fully believe that life is a journey, and therapy is a way to explore where we've been, where we're at, and where we're going. You are the expert in your life, and no one else is able to experience it the way you have. However, through therapy, a new understanding of self and dedication to developing healthier ways to cope and manage could benefit anyone. In therapy, you are in the driver's seat deciding where, when, and how we get there, and as a therapist, I am there to guide you and aid in exploration.
