Therapists in Campbell, CA

Hi there! Thank you for considering me to assist you on your journey. You’ve already taken the first step, which is to notice that something doesn’t seem right, or you’ve reached a crossroads in life. Maybe you’re asking yourself, “What really matters to me? or ”How do I create change?" Or wondering why your relationships aren’t quite where you want them to be. I believe my role is to meet you where you are in life and assist you on this journey for however long, or short you feel necessary. I assist adults, teens and families with bringing balance back into their lives.

Sometimes it's difficult to share what hurts inside. Maybe you've tried different tools, yet things have not changed. That hurting may be preventing you from making decisions, connecting with others, or feeling like yourself ... I'd love to help you see through unresolved conflicts that are keeping you down. My approach is gentle, open, and curious. In our sessions, we'll build safety and we'll explore what hurts at your pace.

"Relationships and how we communicate are the two most important things in our lives." -- I am totally committed to improving communication and relationships. -- I believe communication is often more at the core of quality relationships than digging into our deep, dark, past issues. -- Research and years of my own experience clearly show that effective therapy is not a set of skills or techniques, but a way of being. Our here & now experience is the fuel of therapy. One more tidbit: Therapists are like shoes. You have to try some on before you find one that fits.

Do you find yourself shut down or suppress your feelings? Do you struggle in relationships due to your trauma? Are you unsure of where you belong? I work with people of all identities to process unresolved feelings due to trauma. I strive to provide you a safe and non-judgmental space, in order for you to develop coping mechanisms for trauma symptoms (anxiety, depression, addiction, etc.) and to explore aspects of yourself. I can help you let go of past HURTS and develop tools to find RELIEF.

Do you ever struggle with feeling like you’re not enough? Do you feel like you have to prove yourself? Do you feel stuck and triggered by childhood trauma? The symptoms of trauma include anxiety, depression, high conflict relationships, occupational impairment, addiction, and much more. I believe therapy can help you develop a more self-awareness and actionable plan to alleviate these symptoms. I specialized in working with people who are willing to explore past, present, and future challenges and to find tools for personal growth.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed, tired and stressed in the Silicon Valley. While it is fast-paced, do you feel alone? Are you noticing patterns that have been repeating and want to work to change them? It may be that you need a place to discuss challenges that you are currently facing at your job, in your relationships or even within yourself. I am passionate about helping others face and work toward overcoming the challenges that life brings to them.

I utilize a client centered approach in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. In a safe, supportive, and non judgemental space we can explore the negative patterns in your life, work through any barriers, and move towards healing, growth, and change.

Living in today's society can pull you in different directions, making you feel lost, hopeless or overwhelmed. Life's pressures and expectations can leave you feeling like you have little control over your own story. Let's rewrite your narrative together. I offer a safe and judgement-free environment where you can explore your identity, reclaim your agency, and become the author of your unique narrative. I also aim to support you in acknowledging systems of oppression and other sociocultural factors of a presenting concern in order to separate you from the problem and work towards depathologizing you mental health.

I work primarily with adults who are wanting to manage symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I will be with you on your path to discovery, recovery, and finding the person you would like to become. I approach therapy with a client-centered approach in order to create a safe, comfortable space for you to share and express yourself, and your vulnerabilities. We will explore healthy ways to process your trauma, regulate difficult emotions, and restore broken relationships. I believe the trust built between Client and Therapist is powerful, and necessary in order to help you through your healing journey.

We all go through emotional storms where we feel emotionally and physically stuck; we worry too much and lose control of ourselves. Do you find yourself thrown off balance by your childhood trauma? Childhood traumatic experiences such as abandonment, abuse, and neglect lead to social anxiety. My approach is solution-focused and tailored to your needs and goals. I am committed to providing a profound sense of safety and offering compassionate and actionable guidance to all my clients.

Are you going through internal struggle due to trauma? Do you feel anxious and depressed about the future? Do you struggle with family issues and relationship issues? I’m willing to meet you where you are, help you process unwanted thoughts and emotions, and help develop an action plan to effectively cultivate your healing and growth. I’m here to help you explore unresolved feelings (anxiety, depression, anger, helplessness, grief, etc.) and develop skills to effectively cope with them. Thus, you can feel relieved and fulfilled in your relationship with yourself and others.

Are you lonely, feeling depressed and hopeless thinking that life has passed you by? Are you struggling with a transition in your life: empty nest, divorce, newly married, or the loss of a loved one or a new job? I have worked with individuals, couples and families struggling with these issues. I help clients acquire direction and tools to move beyond old "non working"patterns in their lives. I work to see your growth through empowerment, direction and education.

Starting a new journey in therapy might cause a range of emotions for you - and I’m happy to walk you through it. Finding the right fit in a therapist truly makes or breaks your experience, and how well it will work for you! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, working with teens and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions and more.

I am trained as a psychologist and psychotherapist in both California and Sweden. I am an appointed Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, and I have over 30-years of experience in providing mental health treatment. I am a board certified specialist (ABPP) in both forensic psychology and psychoanalysis and a certified Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME). I provide treatment as well as psychological and forensic evaluations. I know how to help you effectively without judgement or blame. You have the right to feel better about yourself and your life.

Seeking help can be scary and exciting, and it takes a lot of bravery and courage to take the initial step. You may be feeling like you are depressed and anxious due to your trauma. I aim to meet you where you are mentally and emotionally and help you grow, learn skills, and adapt to new changes. We can work together to identify your goals and needs and address the emotional and behavioral challenges you experience.

¡Hola! I'm Denisse and reconnecting to my Latinx culture, ancestors, roots, and motherland in this last year has been an core part of my development as a psychotherapist and the inspiration in creating Ancestral Therapy, a relational, non-pathologizing, liberation centered, and culturally affirming therapeutic lens for first gen, children of immigrants, bicultural identifying folk, and black or brown bodies who need more than just talk therapy but want to reclaim their power, break cycles of generational trauma, access the innate wisdom of their body, and process the impact of colonization and systemic oppression onto their people.

Well-being is possible! I am passionate about helping clients get relief from anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. I believe clients benefit most from therapy when the underlying causes of their symptoms are addressed. My approach goes beyond just talk therapy, and is experiential, somatic (body) and mindfulness based. You can expect to gain helpful skills and tools, as well as new perspectives for old problems. Clients find increased peace, empowerment and fulfillment in their lives. My style is genuine, collaborative, empathetic, non-judgmental and practical.

Feeling depressed or anxious? Just generally kind of blah? Awareness of your emotions is the starting place for healing. I can help you gently explore what you are feeling, get at the root causes, try new ways of thinking about old problems, discern what you want and identify what's holding you back from your dreams. I can guide you into using new tools for getting where you want to be. It takes courage to take these bold steps, try out new things -- I walk alongside you, guiding you as you create a life filled with hope, promise and happiness, as you define them. Ready to get started? :)

On the outside you put on a good show for the world. Yet on the inside, you feel alone and broken. Never good enough. You suffer in agonizing silence, and you're terrified of the moment when everyone figures out you are a fraud. These feelings are very old and familiar because they come from your childhood experiences. And while you can't change the past, you CAN change your experience of the present. You can heal from old wounds. I know because I've walked that road and I know there is another side. In addition to traditional therapy I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) which can assist in your healing journey.
