Parenting Therapists in Berkeley, CA

You are here looking for something, maybe you have been feeling like your worries have started to control your thoughts, you just can't shake the feeling of sadness, or maybe you are confused why you are even struggling? You have tried to feel better but it isn’t working. You do not need to suffer. Life is full of transitions and this can be harder than we expected. What if I told you that as a team, you and I can work together to get you back to a place where life feels manageable, more enjoyable and where you feel more like yourself again?

Life guarantees all of us joy and despair. Curiously, our highly individualistic culture seems to promote self sufficiency. In reality, major life transitions, relationship, family and professional challenges are much more manageable with consistent support. Through reflection, collaborative brainstorming and assistance in noticing response patterns, clients in my care become more aware. This growing self awareness uncovers outdated beliefs, surfaces issues that need tending and, most importantly, gives folks more agency around their daily life choices. I enjoy guiding this discovery with individuals, couples and parent /child teams.

I believe that fulfilling relationships are the central component of growth and healing. In couples therapy whether you are struggling with sexual issues or problems with money, mess, time, work or children, I will focus on helping you develop a closer connection and greater security which will enable you to more effectively address your concerns. In individual therapy, I will work to develop an authentic, attuned therapy relationship with you through which we can understand and develop your capacity in your relational world with partner, children, parents, work, creative and spiritual quests on a path of growth and healing.

When your child is struggling, it can help to gather information about how they learn, process information, and relate to others. I specialize in child and adolescent assessment and consultation to help families and school teams better understand a client’s educational needs, interests, and goals. My approach is strengths-based and collaborative, with a focus on resilience. Through the assessment process, I help uncover a child's cognitive, neuropsychological, and academic profile, including their social-emotional and behavioral functioning, in order to inform strategic intervention.

I am a clinical psychologist in private practice who specializes in couples and family therapy. I have researched, written, and lectured nationally for mental health professionals and general audiences about relationships and cross-cultural issues in love and work for over 30 years.

When personally challenged, you might draw on strategies that help you through without helping you grow. When heard and valued, the human spirit is resilient in sometimes surprising ways. I work collaboratively with you, respecting and listening for your particular and unique challenges and potential. I help you to cultivate as well as practice what needs to be developed and integrated in your life. I consider my own study of psychotherapy to be a lifelong practice and work with somatic and relational principles. I welcome you to bring your concerns. I am committed to bring the skills and training of my years in this work.

Sucks to live with thoughts, feelings and beliefs that aren’t welcoming, hopeful or kind, doesn’t it? When that inner stream is clouded with shame, negativity or apathy, therapy can be a filter to clear out the toxins and make way for the new - the braver, the steadier, the integrated; the you that has the room and gumption to flourish. Getting acquainted with your badass, authentic self deserves your full attention, intention and compassion.

I provide short-term solution-focused counseling, as well as long-term in-depth therapy for adults, adolescents, couples, and families. I take a practical approach and specialize in skills-building for improved relationships and stress reduction.

The world needs helpers, just like you. But when your life gets stressful and overwhelming, where do you turn? You nurture others. You put your heart into your relationships and your work, but sometimes it starts to feel like it's too much. Like you're exhausted and unable to take some time for yourself.

If you’re looking for an empathic, trauma-informed sex therapist, you're in the right place. Maybe you're struggling to understand yourself and your relationships and are ready to heal old wounds. Do you feel conflicted about your sexual fantasies and desires? Want to experience more ease and pleasure? Empathic psychotherapy will help you feel more at peace and become more self-accepting. For partners, polycules, parents, and adult family members: Do you want to understand each other better and stop the repetitive cycles? Let’s get to the bottom of it and deepen your connection.

Are you worried about your child? Not sure if you are doing too much or too little on your kid’s behalf? Maybe you yourself got lost in a maze of work, school and carpools. Or your family struggles to connect.

You may be experiencing acute emotional pain due to an unexpected change in your life, or you may feel that the suffering has been there for a long time and coping on your own is no longer enough. You may find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or lonely, repeating the same patterns without being able to find your way out. You may be wishing for deeper relationships, a more satisfying and creative job, or relief from inner turmoil. If you continue to feel insecure, anxious, or depressed, no matter what you try, therapy can help.

Sometimes it is hard to ask for help. You have everyone else convinced that you have got it all together. However, there's parts of yourself you do not recognize, don't understand or simply feel you can not change. Sometimes these thoughts and feelings can lead us to behave in ways that are not healthy.

If you're here you may be feeling stuck, frustrated, unfulfilled, and uncertain about what to do. Try as we might, we often can't make changes in the areas of life that matter most to us - relationships, family, love, and sex. At the same time, we may feel hesitant to ask for help, fearing that we may be judged or not find relief. Asking for help is a characteristic of successful, happy people, and is the first step to building the life that you want.

Hi. It's nice to e-meet you. I don't have all the answers, but I do know that together we can find them. I see you, I hear you, and I'm here with you.

As a Licensed Psychotherapist I help people with feelings of anxiety, stress, panic, depression and disconnect. You might be struggling with low self worth or a relentless inner critic that affects your relationships or school or work performance. By using a trauma informed approach we uncover what lies underneath allowing for understanding, access to compassion and the easing of overwhelming emotions.

I believe that coming to therapy is about making a home in ourselves: a home where we feel at ease, where all the different parts of us are okay and we don't feel that something is wrong with who we are. When life gets hard we can feel isolated and cutoff - from the people around us, and also from ourselves. When we most need to feel compassion towards ourselves it can be hardest to find. My work is to help you find that compassion for yourself and to support you in strengthening your capacity to meet whatever life brings with courage and confidence.

Perhaps you're navigating challenging moods such as anxiety or depression, or you're dealing with recurring problems that keep you feeling stuck. You recognize these experiences are deeply intertwined with the quality of your relationships and life.
