Elders (65+) Therapists in Corte Madera, CA

Therapy is a tool that can help you gain or improve self-knowledge; it can teach skills that assist you in managing life's problems. I am experienced in working with adults (18-65+) who have childhood trauma, relationship issues, aging issues, work place stress. I believe that everyone has the ability to benefit from greater insight and self-awareness. My therapeutic approach integrates psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Problem Solving Therapy.

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.

Hello. I have been a licensed Clinical Psychologist for twenty-five years. With experience, training, and a deep sense of compassion, I provide a safe space for patients to share their most vulnerable feelings. I am an active participant in the treatment, and I believe that a therapeutic relationship must be based on trust and mutual respect. I believe that every client has a unique story to tell, and therapy is tailored to those needs. I provide CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and mindfulness based, psychotherapy. I treat adults, adolescents and families.

Are you and your partner wanting help to communicate? Feeling emotionally distant? Are you exasperated by the problems with your relationship? No sex? Has there been an affair or addictions? I can help! Many therapists take a neutral stance towards saving the marriage. I am up front and transparent that if you both want the marriage to be saved, that's exactly what we will work toward. That makes me a "Marriage-Friendly" couples therapist. But, if one of you is uncertain if you want to save the marriage try "Discernment Counseling". You learn what it would take to turn it around before you make a decision.

Need help with ongoing symptoms following one or more traumatic events? Do you have a history of childhood trauma that is causing difficulties in your work or relationships? These events can have long-term effects on brain function and perceptions of self and others. If you are not responding to talk therapy or medications, this approach may be the key to bringing you relief. I offer treatment to adults with Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD), anxiety, panic and related conditions. I use a gentle mindfulness-based approach that addresses the body sensations, images, thoughts, emotions and beliefs that form in the wake of a trauma.

Your relationship is stressed or you're looking for one, you're restless in your career or you're searching for meaning. Your self-care has taken backseat to busyness and life has become about being mother, wife, or caretaker. You're feeling stagnant, uninspired, and worried the world is passing you by. Waking up in the morning and looking forward to your day seems like a distant reality. You want to change but feel paralyzed by uncertainty. It feels too hard on your own to get clear with what's missing in your relationship, your career, and your life or where to begin to make lasting, meaningful change that feels worth the effort.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist, specializing in DBT, RO-DBT and CBT for adolescents and adults. I am committed to providing a safe and hope-filled space for my clients to explore their experiences and move towards healing and transformation. In a confidential, caring, and supportive environment, my goal as a therapist is to help clients work through the struggles they face that hold them back from living a life of happiness, purpose, and meaning.

Through questions, interpretations, insights and humor, individual and/or couples feel safe to explore their particular dynamics. I help each individual understand what can and cannot be changed and work from there. Couples will learn to regulate emotions and reactions and to manage problems more effectively so each can feel heard, understood and validated. My approach also works for individuals who feel like they are bystanders in their own lives. If passivity is getting in your way and someone else is making choices for you, I can help by providing the structure for change that will help you feel more self-aware and competent.

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.

I provide individual psychotherapy to older adolescents and adults using primarily cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based strategies.

Are you suffering from chronic anxiety, depression, or post traumatic stress (PTSD) as a result of your child's death?

With skillful psychotherapeutic counseling and support, successful treatment is possible. My Doctoral studies and research, clinical training, experience working, as well as personal experience, equips me with critical knowledge of effective treatment modalities.

Are you feeling misunderstood in your relationships? Are you feeling anxious, irritated or depressed? Tired of having to explain yourself? Talking with an understanding therapist who will focus solely on you with a compassionate objectivity can really help. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors and relationship issues, and in helping to uncover and then overcome issues from the past that are still affecting thoughts and behavior in the present. I've been through many transitions, both planned and unplanned, throughout my life and have great compassion and skill in helping others come through them, too.

I believe in the importance of compassion, empathy, warmth, kindness, and occasionally even humor in the therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a nonjudgmental, safe space for clients to process challenging emotions and experiences. I like to be active in the therapeutic conversation rather than the "blank-slate therapist." I have experience working with adults, teens and children facing life transitions, relationship issues, grief and loss, chronic illnesses, depression, and anxiety. My approach is both client-centered and solution-focused, while incorporating other treatment modalities based on client needs.

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.

Life can be challenging for all of us. Careers, families, relationships, our health; all can provide joy but can also be sources of great stress and difficulty. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I will work with you to overcome the obstacles that prevent you from living the life you seek. These may include low self esteem, anxiety, lack of satisfaction in your professional life or marriage, depression, to name just a few. The relationship you and I forge will help guide you to improve your life, whether your needs be interpersonal, career related, parenting, or unresolved issues from the past.

I'm a psychologist whose been working with adults for over 25 years. I teach tools and techniques for reducing symptoms and for changing problem behaviors. 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.

I believe that people enter therapy with the desire to make their lives happier and more fulfilling, and a great deal of trust is invested in the client-therapist relationship. As such I strive to establish a safe and trusting environment in which change can take place. In my thirty plus years of practice in Marin County I have helped numerous clients understand and dispel deeply held negative beliefs and feelings that get in the way of them reaching desired goals. I bring considerable expertise to my practice, and receive positive feedback for my work with individual adults, couples and groups.
