Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Hillsborough, CA

Greetings! As a board-certified clinical psychologist licensed in both California and Nevada, I bring over 17 years of valuable experience to my practice. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of assisting individuals across various age groups and backgrounds in the dynamic regions of San Francisco and the Bay Area.

You are struggling and I can help! You may be feeling out of control of your emotions - like everything is your fault or you're just not good enough. You might not even remember a time life didn't feel like this. But one thing is for sure: you are ready for some relief. You’re ready to confidently take action. You’re ready to own your worth. Most of all, you’re ready to let go of trying to do everything perfectly all of the time.

Your healing journey can begin today. Do you want to make positive changes in your life? It is my goal to empower you to live a more joyful, meaningful and loving life. I have been a licensed psychologist for over 30 years. You can view my video by clicking on the website button under my picture.

You are so worried about your child. She cries everytime you drop her off at preschool and she is so shy at birthday parties that she won't leave your side. You thought she would outgrow this, but instead she seems to be more and more afraid of things. She is happy at home, but she still follows you from room to room. You just want her to relax and enjoy her childhood. You remember when your child first started school, how excited you were! You thought she would soon warm up and make friends. You want to be able to pick your child up from school and hear from the teacher that she was just fine once you left. You want to hear about what your child learned, and that your child played well with friends.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples who want help improving the quality of their intimate relations. I use a humanistic approach also employing cognitive and behavioral skill building. I am supportive while providing honest feedback in my relationships with my clients. My main goal in the therapeutic relationship is to provide a safe, trusting environment where individuals can explore their feelings in their search for a more fulfilling life.

Welcome! Professionals are all different & it is important to find someone who fits well with your needs. We have all experienced moments of feeling like a failure, or where work doesn't give us the joy we started with, or family seems to be disappointed in our actions, or perhaps friends seem un-supportive. Sometimes we can fix things on our own, and sometimes we need extra help. I look forward to collaborating with you in order to bring you back to where you or where you want your Children to be... back to a feeling of living a happy, secure and fulfilling life.

I help people who are anxious, overwhelmed, confused, and stressed learn to manage their emotions and feel more in control, at ease, and clear about their life's direction. Have you been struggling with feeling like there is too much to do, that you're not okay, or not capable enough to make the changes you desire? Are you struggling to figure out how to get going and how to take better care of yourself? It's so painful to struggle with feelings of not being good enough, feeling down, being self critical, and stuck in unhelpful behavior patterns and unfulfilling relationships. No matter the mistakes or losses, wellbeing is possible.

Hi, I'm Nevena Assenova and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in San Diego, CA. My approach to therapy is to collaborate with you in order to help you meet your goals.

Successful therapy is a combination of your life experiences coupled with my skill set in a caring, supportive environment. When you put those things together your life will begin to change in ways you have secretly hoped were possible. I often am asked how looking at past experiences and feelings can enhance our future. Basically, "why waste time looking backwards?" My answer is this: When we don't take time to reflect on unconscious patterns we often repeat them; even ones that don't serve us. It's time to break that chain.
