Therapists in Adams Point, Oakland, CA

I have been very fortunate to have worked in this field for over 20 years, and have helped many people ages 3 to 82, men and women, gay and straight, of different cultures and professions. Some come to address painful life barriers they are faced with due to depression, anxiety or trauma. Others need to figure out why their interpersonal relationships are conflicted and stressful or that they still haven't met the person they want to be with. Sometimes people come because their past has limited their future, and they need to get it all out on the table and figure out how not to be constrained in achieving their personal goals.

I believe every person and family is unique and there are many ways to raise a healthy child. I want to honor the strengths within you and your family and offer the tools and support to help your child and family thrive. Through a trauma-informed lens, I work extensively with youth, parents, and families on life transitions, healthy communication, and processing/ healing from grief or abuse.

I believe the key to change lies in cultivating a safe, strong therapeutic relationship. Through a developmental lens, I aim to understand each person’s history and how their unique story informs current challenges. I feel passionate about working with clients from diverse backgrounds and utilize a culturally-informed approach when understanding life experiences and associated thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In conjunction with this psychodynamic, relationally-driven approach, I help clients identify a clear presenting concern, develop goals, and integrate the appropriate evidence-based practice tailored to their specific needs.

Are you struggling with sexuality-related issues? Access to sexual health is a right. This includes expression of sexuality that is safe, free of judgment and shame, and centers pleasure. As queer folx, or queer folx of color, we've been told that our sexuality is wrong in so many ways. While the experience of marginalization is traumatic, we also have so much beautiful resiliency and abundant inner resourcefulness to counter that. I believe that we all deserve the right to heal, and that we all have the tools within ourselves to do so. My job is to partner with you & support gaining access to that intuitive healer within.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and need a space to nourish yourself? Or are you looking to process a loss or life transition? You might be seeking a new approach to exploring emotions and personal growth. As a trauma-informed art therapist, I offer a space where intuition and logic intersect using artmaking as a tool for exploration and expansion. Whether you're hoping to increase self-esteem, sort through relationship challenges, process challenging emotions related to trauma, process grief, or promote mindfulness, we will work together to identify your goals and find the right balance of artmaking and talk therapy for you.

None of us live in a vacuum. Our environments, culture, relationships, and the systems in which we are a part of have a huge impact on who we are and how we feel.

Welcome! My name is Sukhpreet Kaur, and I am a first generation American. I believe that we are the key to our own healing, therefore it is important to me to hold a space for you that is safe, collaborate, and empowering for healing and exploration.

I enjoy working with people who want support as they engage in self-exploration and attempt to make sense of the complexity and intersections of their identities, including race and ethnicity, spirituality, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. I also believe that it is important for the people I work with to approach therapy as more than a culmination of sessions, but as part of a lifestyle and commitment to take time and space to prioritize one’s health. Additionally, I understand the power of self-study and that my role as a psychologist is to provide guidance and reminders as people connect with themselves and others.

Together we will build a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship. Within this dynamic, we will process current & past experiences and any feelings that may arise. Therapy is a process, in which learning and self-insight occurs, and shifts begin to happen. I love supporting folks in connecting with themselves and others, making meaning of their life experiences, and deepening their understanding of themselves in a safe and supportive space which we co-create.

I offer weekly therapeutic services for kids, individuals, couples and families of all structures. I take a mindfulness-based approach to the work and practice in a highly relational manner, focusing equally on the process of the therapeutic relationship as with the content of what is being explored outside of the therapy room.

Bilingual, Culturally Sensitive, Trauma-informed, Relational Psychotherapy. I believe that engaging in therapy is an act of courage because change is by definition radical. An important goal of therapy is to connect to your authentic/creative self as a way to make meaning in times of suffering. Together we will explore your personal, family, cultural, and political history to understand the ways in which your experiences shape how you feel in the world. Whether you are struggling with life transitions, finding/keeping good relationships, or trying to integrate different identities, our work can help you find some sense of cohesion.

Therapy is an opportunity to discover - sometimes new - aspects of ourselves that can lead to a richer, more fulfilling life. Together we will build a safe relationship in which we can explore how past events and patterns of relating to others have contributed to current challenges, and then we will develop new ways of thinking that help you achieve a more

I work from a core belief that everyone has within themselves what they need for healing. I also believe that working in community helps to bring out and recall collective knowledge and understanding of what health, illness, and recovery are.

*****Please see my website at: www.janvitekphd.com/.***** A genuine, empathic, and caring relationship is at the heart of meaningful and helpful psychotherapy. I focus on creating a safe, warm, and reflective environment in which to explore thoughts and feelings and identify patterns of behavior. I seek an optimum balance between safety and nurturance and challenge and directness. Good psychotherapy is about making better choices about how to take care of yourself, how to form satisfying relationships, and how to attain your personal goals.

My style is warm, curious, and straightforward, with a well placed sense of humor. I’m a sensitive and attuned listener, skilled at navigating intense and complicated thoughts, feelings, and interactions. I especially enjoy working with clients who are seeking a collaborative and engaged experience. I will undoubtedly (and sincerely) smile, nod, and at times ask, “How did that make you feel?” I will also ask other kinds of questions, share my thoughts with you, reflect on patterns that may be emerging, and offer tangible tools.
