Anxiety Therapists in Corte Madera, CA

I am deeply committed to my work as a psychotherapist. I have been working for 20 years with diverse issues and diagnoses, my specialty areas are: recovery from trauma (adult and childhood), increasing self-confidence and self-empowerment, resolving relationships struggles, overcoming chronic depression, anxiety and panic , outgrowing self-destructive behaviors, recovery from grief and loss, optimizing cognitive functions, finding strength when facing chronic/severe illnesses. I am bilingual and bi-cultural: English & Spanish. I deeply enjoy working with clients from all cultural backgrounds and LGBTQN community.

Suffering from anxiety , depression, or substance abuse often means unhealthy thought patterns/actions are reinforcing cognitive distortions and destructive behaviors. Anxiety leads to avoidance of situations that potentiate more anxiety , yet fears of triggering stimuli remain active. Depression is constituted by biases towards negative thoughts, and without challenging unfounded beliefs about one's worth or abilities, depression persists. Those abusing alcohol or other drugs cannot participate in life unaided by the numbing effect substances generate. These individuals are stuck, not broken. If motivated, they may all recover.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in empirically supported treatments for trauma-related issues, including post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety . I specialize in individual and group therapy for adults who have experienced interpersonal trauma.

I’m a clinical psychologist with specialized training in child and adolescent psychological assessment of attention issues and learning differences. I also have extensive experience supporting youth struggling with anxiety and OCD. My approach to psychotherapy is warm, collaborative, goal-oriented, and strength-based. I strive to create a safe environment in which youth and their families feel comfortable and understood. I also individualize care based on clients’ unique set of strengths and challenges, while also integrating evidence-based techniques to achieve both quick symptom relief and long-lasting change.

I will challenge you with questions and give you homework to help you succeed. I work in the present and do not believe it is productive to spend years talking about the past. You will sense my passion for my work and will feel seen and heard.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples and adolescents. If you find yourself worrying excessively or feel hopeless, sad, unmotivated; perhaps you're tired of conflicts with family/friends/colleagues, or in a difficult life transition, even happy events can feel unsettling, I can help. I provide a safe, discreet space where you feel comfortable examining significant life events, relationships, insecurities and fears , and goals and aspirations. With insight and understanding you will be better able to make decisions that align with your values which in turn provides you with more confidence, peace of mind and a meaningful sense of direction.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults and families. Together I work with my clients to devise goals in therapy and provide support, by coordinating care with other providers, (teachers, pediatricians, psychiatrists, etc.). I utilize my experience in various mental health settings, as well as, my training to help create treatment plans that are co-created with my clients. I provide a non-judgmental space to assist clients in challenging automatic thoughts, ruminations, cognitive distortions and work to develop skills-based interventions to assist with symptom reduction and management.

If you are anxious, depressed, overwhelmed with personal or professional dynamics, stuck in self-critical and harmful patterns, or looking for clarity and growth in your relationships or yourself, change IS possible. I strongly believe in the effectiveness of psychotherapy to heal wounds, resolve blocks, change patterns, and find confidence and purpose. Relying on yourself to “get better” brings additional feelings like loneliness, hopelessness, regret, anger, guilt and shame. You don't need to feel this way. Reach out and call me to find the guidance, support, and encouragement you deserve to feel better and thrive.

I work with families, couples/partners, individuals, adolescents, and children. I will help you understand the “why” behind what is creating a mental health challenge, a tough transition, or a relationship issue — whether that be anxiety , old wounds from the past, shame, secret dreams for your life, identity and family transitions, grief and loss, systemic oppression, emotional dysregulation, or self concept. Sometimes that brings up traumatic experiences that we will gently explore together. I will help you further understand and then regulate your nervous system while exploring your emotional needs.

I am interested in hearing your experience and your story. I know it can be hard to talk about ourselves in a way that makes us feel vulnerable. My goal for clients is finding strength inside yourself to feel safe walking through an ever changing world and the self-worth and confidence you deserve. I work with couples on communication and understanding each other. I work with adolescents in life transitions. I work with individuals in finding out more about how to have meaningful relationships.

Despite huge advances in modern technologies to extend life expectancy and increase physical comfort we have made only modest progress in relieving human psychological suffering that manifests as mood disorders and anxiety . It appears that many of our attempts to "fix" ourselves frequently backfire. My approach is highly collaborative and uses the most up to date discoveries in the field of behavioral science to help you "have a mind without your mind having you". Together we can help you gain flexibility that reduces suffering and learn skills that increase values-based living.

You may be seeking therapy because you want change in your life or perhaps you are dealing with a difficult situation. You will have my full focus and I will work to understand you and to learn what you need at this time. Research shows that therapy is much more effective if client and therapist have a strong connection. To facilitate this, I offer a complimentary 30 minute consultation so we can ensure working together feels right. I offer client-focused counseling for individuals, couples, teens and elders. I seek to understand you as a whole person and in relationship.

Everyone needs help in life now and then. I work collaboratively with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, to identify and solve the difficulties they are facing. I am direct, compassionate, and use my sense of humor in helping people to make changes in their life. In our work together, we can get you back on track to accomplishing your goals. I have experience and success in treating: anxiety , depression, ADHD, relationship problems, trauma, drug and/or alcohol abuse, anger problems, bipolar disorder, self-harming, diverse clients, and academic problems. I use evidence based, effective approaches such as CBT, EFT, Family Systems, and EMDR.

My specialty is treating all kinds of anxiety problems. If you suffer from OCD, panic , fears , excessive worrying, or shyness, I can help you. Sessions will involve a lot of active give-and-take. I use evidence-based (CBT) methods which have proven to be highly effective. Expect to get "homework" between appointments. Don't be surprised to see improvement within a few weeks.

It is an act of courage to take a deeper look into the parts of ourselves that get in the way of living a more fulfilling life. I honor your courage and desire for change. As a Somatic Psychotherapist my work focuses on the mind and body. Offering compassion and insight, I support individuals in building greater capacity to be with, and move through the struggles they face.

Anxiety , Phobias and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can boycott the development and happiness of your bright, spirited and sensitive child. Leaving frustration and hurt where once prevailed a close and nurturing relationship. Using evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), scientifically-supported Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP) and parent coaching I will help your child or teen develop a more useful, curious and courageous mindset. A.K.A. a brain trained to tolerate the unknown. A skill that'll stay with them long after our work is completed.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience. The majority of my work is with people who are working to overcome anxiety , depression, relationship problems, job stress, addiction, and life transition concerns that are interfering with their ability to live a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Licensed and trained as a clinical psychologist and a MFT, I work with both individuals and couples, using a collaborative and active approach.

Therapy is a way to help you more deeply understand yourself and gain perspective to take steps toward a more satisfying life. A good match between therapist and client is essential to personal growth and healing. I provide a safe and collaborative space for you to openly express yourself and explore the issues that are affecting you.
