Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Oakland, CA
My name is Joe Kovacevich and I am an LMFT in California. I work psychodynamically/psychoanalytically to try to connect with and help people. I have a background in various other modalities but prefer these. I work well with people who are struggling to find meaning in their lives and are looking for ways to change their lives. This can manifest as existential dread, depression, and also a milder, lingering feeling that life isn’t what you’d hoped for.

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.

Mental health challenges are due to the aftereffects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can place a strain on your family, work, relationships, and even cause issues with self-worth.

All these disorders can look different from person to person, and that is where our therapeutic journey of empowerment and self-exploration begins. I concentrate on creating a safe space of growth and self-discovery through unconditional positive regard, emotional regulation, and guided activities.

We all carry wounds that run deeper than we’d like to admit. Sometimes these wounds continue to affect us in the present, even if we hope we’ve put the past firmly behind us. Maybe you’re struggling with people-pleasing patterns, self-judgment, or perfectionism. Perhaps it’s hard to identify how you feel or what you really need. Or maybe you just have a nagging sense that something isn’t quite right. I help clients address anxiety, codependency, trauma, and more in order to reclaim their lives and build the future they want. As a queer therapist, I also specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals.

Good therapy begins by finding a therapist who is a good fit. I am glad you found your way to this website to find someone who feels like a good fit for you. My areas of focus are helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and trauma: struggles can lead us to feel stuck, scared, overwhelmed, sad, and exhausted. When we focus our attention on only a few strong feelings, a few loud inner voices, and a limited number of choices, we feel restricted, conflicted and not fully ourselves. A good therapist helps us feel better in the same way that a good optometrist helps us see better.

If we think about an iceberg, or even a volcano, we typically can see what’s above water, or above ground. And yet, what is beneath is immense and powerful.

It means carving out space and time to truly focus on yourself in the hopes of finding greater fulfillment, peace and happiness in your life.
