Depression Therapists in Kentfield, CA

I work with individuals and treat a range of issues including depression , anxiety, loneliness, emotional intimacy, self esteem, and relationship struggles. I also specialize in treating adults and adolecents with eating disorders. I have worked with eating and body image disturbances for 15 plus years. I am passionate about helping people develop a comfortable relationship with their bodies, food, and exercise through a non-diet approach.

I believe that feeling safe is the most necessary factor for us to create change in our lives. Each of us deserves to feel valued for who we are. Often our life experiences, beginning in childhood, have convinced us we are undeserving of happiness and good things. How can we create the life we long for if we don't believe we deserve it? Sometimes it is necessary to unlearn some of the distorted messages that came out of childhood. I can help you uncover what is in your way and help you to heal.

Welcome! Are you looking for support for yourself or someone you care about? I'm hoping to help. I find it particularly rewarding to work with people during transitions in their lives such as a career change/s, reconstructing life after a divorce, high school to college transition, newly married, grief support, new parents, or empty nesters, just to name a few. I value the process of helping my clients prioritize themselves and their needs as they navigate difficult and often inspiring times in life. Developing coping skills and self compassion will lead you to make decisions in your life that support your sense of wellbeing.

Getting professional assistance works, but it's not easy to ask for help. In practice for over 25 years, I find that many emotionally challenging problems can be treated with insight, support, and education. In a confidential and discreet setting, together we can look honestly at what's going on and find personalized solutions for you. Whether you're struggling with a life transition, a family problem, an addiction or a health challenge, together, we'll get you moving in the direction you desire.

I treat adults as well as adolescents and children, most frequently through individual therapy. I also work with couples. I work with people with a wide range of problems and especially enjoy working with people experiencing anxiety in relationships or at work . I also enjoy working with people who are unhappy and don't know why, and people who are repeating self-defeating patterns they feel unable to change. Meeting with a well-trained and experienced therapist can be a powerful and effective way of strengthening one's confidence and developing a personal sense of control over one's life.

I work with individuals, couples, and families, on facilitating communication, conflict resolution, and often healing old wounds from childhood that cause difficulties in present relationships. I also work with children and their families on parenting issues. I work with couples having infertility issues and adoption.

I provide culturally sensitive, empirically validated psychotherapy services to individuals, couples and families, ranging from adolescents to seniors. I am committed to the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey and consider it a great privilege to be entrusted with my clients' most deeply-held thoughts and feelings. I am actively engaged with those who are grappling with issues of anxiety, depression , bereavement, relationship problems, life transitions, trauma, interpersonal difficulties and creative blocks, addressing my client's concerns in a humanistic and holistic manner that transcends preoccupation with pathology to work toward a life of deep meaning, creativity and interpersonal fulfillment.

I am a psychologist with a general therapy practice for adults, as well as a specialty in women's reproductive health (e.g., depression /anxiety in pregnancy and postpartum, pregnancy loss, infertility and family building). In addition to treating depression and anxiety, I help people navigate issues regarding stress management, grief and loss, relationships, self-esteem, sexual orientation/identity, eating/body image, parenting, and transitions ( e.g., to college, to parenthood). In addition to providing individual therapy, I facilitate "Pathways: A Support Group for Postpartum Moms" through MarinHealth (Marin General Hospital).

I work collaboratively with adults, teens and couples, specializing in anxiety, depression and stress. I help people improve relationships, develop new coping skills and understand themselves better.

Therapy is a shared exploration of your personal history, undertaken in an effort to locate the patterns, roadblocks and challenges to you becoming the desired version of who you wish to be. Finding the right therapist is crucial to this work. We need to feel seen, heard respected and understood by the person we entrust with our great journey of self-exploration. Many of us spend our lives trying to be someone other than ourselves; I am in service to helping you reimagine your story—past, present, and future. I will walk alongside you as you seek to understand your fears, anxieties and life's challenges.

I have been in practice as a licensed psychologist for the past 28 years in Marin County where I was also born and have raised my two boys. My approach to assessment and therapy is integrative as it attempts to consider all relevant biological, psychological and environmental influences on a person’s current well-being. Sessions leave ample space for depth-oriented, psychodynamic/attachment based processing of inner struggles and vulnerabilities. They also include collaborative, practical, and hands-on problem solving as well as exploration of cognitive behavioral tools and strategies appropriate to the developmental age.

Adolescence can be a very challenging time for teens and their families. Although developmentally it is a particularly wonderful time of exploration and curiosity for teens, sometimes things do not go as expected. Individual adolescent therapy and sessions incorporating parents and /or families can make this time much easier to negotiate. I see primarily adolescents, and often incorporate parents and families into treatment planning. Presenting issues may range from anxiety and depression to substance abuse and eating disorders where I hold additional certifications and trainings. I also see adults with persisting eating issues.

Specializing in women's mental health across the lifespan, with a focus on the reproductive years, relationships, and trauma. Focus areas include infertility & loss; single women childless not by choice; LGBT family building; pregnancy & postpartum. I also work with clients who are experiencing depression , anxiety and healing from trauma. While I specialize in women's mental health, I welcome clients who identify throughout the gender identity spectrum.

I start with where you are. My approach is pragmatic, dynamic, and solution oriented based on client-centered goals. I truly enjoy working with elementary age children, older teens/young adults and older adults.

Are you stuck in unhealthy patterns that you don't know how to break? Or struggling with something and thinking you might need extra support? Whether we tackle long-standing issues or address an immediate problem, you will find this integrative therapy useful and be grateful you took up this endeavor. I have a very modern, honest and direct style of communicating that allows us to focus on your goals in a collaborative and constructive way, but more importantly, in a way that makes sense to you.

Welcome to my practice. Trained at the The Wright Institute in Berkeley, my approach emphasizes compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based treatment. Good psychotherapy encourages perspective on life's challenges, and can open up new possibilities.

We all want to be happy, or at least free from emotional pain. If you're here, something in your life is causing emotional discomfort--and some part of you senses an invitation to explore your inner and relational worlds with understanding and compassion. I help adults and adolescents deal with obstacles to their preferred lives--unwanted symptoms, relationship challenges, difficulty adjusting to change and loss. My goal is to reinforce your strengths, while co-discovering with you new solutions to the issues blocking growth. I offer a creative and practical style, drawing on approaches specifically tailored to your needs.
