Therapists for Seniors in Alameda, CA
My name is Amisha, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I enjoy helping individuals, couples, and families overcome hardships and find joy and meaning in their lives. I utilize evidence-based modalities that bring about change by providing tools clients can use to become their own therapist. My stance is deeply empathic and curious, leaning into what happened to you rather than what is wrong with you. We will meet for 90 minutes the first time, moving to true 60-mins (individuals) & 75-mins sessions (couples) thereafter. Emotional pain hurts just as deeply as physical pain. Your pain matters. You matter.

With over 35 years of experience as an individual and family therapist in many types of settings, I view therapy as a co-created, compassionate and courageous journey into the discovery of the self. I work with individuals and couples, and particularly enjoy helping people find their true passion, gifts and sense of self. I also work with individuals who are in life transition, struggling with depression, anxiety, work stress, spiritual crisis, relationship issues, parenting issues, or any issue that is interfering with living life fully.

I have participated in many trainings, most recently in: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Science, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), law & ethics, and psychotherapy with older adults.
I consider therapy a collaborative effort, guided by your needs. Through meaningful conversations we address your goals, your beliefs & their origins, and look at what's not working for you anymore. Therapy gives you the space you need to look at what is true to you by exploring your boundaries and willingness to go to uncomfortable places. I've been working as a private practice therapist since 2008 — first as an intern and then as a licensed clinician. I am attentive, warm, and compassionate. I take my work seriously & believe a little humor can aid in the healing process.

Hi, I'm Mindi. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely welcomed, not judged. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—messy, uncertain, hopeful, grieving, or simply exhausted—and know that you don’t have to navigate life’s complexities alone. I bring warmth, humility, curiosity, and a grounded presence to our work, along with a healthy dose of humor when it feels right. Together, we’ll make room for what’s hard, what’s meaningful, and what’s possible.

Most of the people I work with are doing well by any outside measure—real accomplishments, careers that depend on them, people who count on them at home. The difficulty is usually quieter: trauma that is well-managed but still painful and unaddressed, anxiety that persists underneath a capable surface, a life transition that never fully resolved, or relationships where everyday competence doesn't seem to reach. If you've done therapy before and something useful happened but something essential didn't, that's usually where we start.

Many of the individuals and couples I see are living with histories of complex trauma or personal experiences of loss and hardship. Desiring not only relief from the psychological adversities they've faced, but new opportunities for their lives, they come eager for a change in both their relationship with themselves and with others. As we embark on an intimate journey of sharing together, they often find a new sense of home within themselves, with others and the world at large, and in the process, develop not only a deeper understanding of their psychological lives but more self-compassion, resilience and capacity for ease and joy.
