Therapists in Oakland, CA

Hi, I am a Marriage & Family Therapist licensed in California with over 11 years of experience working as a mental health counselor, therapist, mentor to at-risk youth, and life coach. I have worked with clients (ages 4-70+) with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, personality disorders, relationship issues, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced anger control issues and eating disorders.

Hello, I have a passion for working collaboratively with adults, adolescents and children who may be experiencing distress or who simply seek greater fulfillment in life. I believe deeply in the importance of connection among individuals, families, communities, nature, and spirituality towards promoting resiliency and healing. I have worked extensively with young adults, children and adolescents who have suffered anxiety, depression, educational difficulty, trauma and loss.

A former journalist, I have a natural curiosity about people and am able to appreciate and embrace those from all cultures. I specialize in diverse populations including at-risk youth,victims of violence and adults who struggle with anger or behavioral issues due to past experiences or traumas. I utilize CBT, DBT and TF-CBT in most of my practice and am very direct, but always feel that a humanistic approach is the key to reaching a person with authenticity and genuine curiosity. I believe in second chances and that everyone deserves a voice in this world.

Hi there, I'm Alexis, a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 20 years of experience. I help individuals with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, self esteem, relationship issues, adolescent/teen issues, and more. In my practice, I use motivational interviewing, a goal-directed technique that allows my client to explore and discover the possibility of changes within one’s self. I use a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Narrative, Family systems, Existential, Psychodynamic, Acceptance, and Commitment therapy. By focusing on the positives, my clients can start to see the progress they are making.

Welcome! I am passionate to work with you, in your quest for freedom and overcome challenges that you, your child, teenager, partner or family may be experiencing. My educational journey focused on all conditions an individual may be experiencing with a concentration in trauma psychology. I am pleased to say my education sought to include social justice and multicultural awareness. Important components of multicultural awareness include explicit awareness of cultural influences. In society we must be aware of psychological, social, economic and political issues associated with culture, race, class, ethnicity, age, and gender.

Hi, my name is Trinity Flores, LCSW, and I have a holistic approach with a goal to provide helpful tools and skill-building that can be used beyond the completion of therapy. I aim to provide a safe space for clients to utilize tools to improve the quality of their lives and relationships to reach their fullest potential. I take a client-centered approach to therapy and see therapy as collaborative. The most common theoretical approaches I use are solution-focused, trauma narrative, cognitive behavioral therapy, and managing and adapting practices.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working primarily with adolescents and young adults. I am passionate about reconnecting clients to pieces of themselves that have been fragmented by traumatic experiences, anxiety, anger, grief, and a host of other challenges we face in our daily lives. The majority of my passion and therapeutic experience has come from working with adolescents and young adults. I work primarily with clients dealing with challenges that include trauma and PTSD symptoms, grief, anger management, anxiety, relationship issues, and phase-of-life challenges.

Have you been impacted by something in your life that has caused pain such as loss, abuse, or a traumatic event? Have you used adverse coping techniques that resulted in negative outcomes or repeated patterns? Do you see these patterns reappear by choices made in your life and you feel you want to make a change? I am here to offer a nonjudgmental and unconditional foundation to help support you. Every experience is unique to the individual and the effects of these experiences must be processed through one's own strengths. Together we will find the peace that you seek to ultimately bring you to a place of well-being.

Seeking out therapy can be difficult for many people, so being connected with the right therapist is essential for growth and positive changes to happen. To honor your process, I will approach our discussions with warmth, empathy, realness, and with the intent to challenge you as we create the space to truly face your experiences of the world. My approach is integrative and I see each person in a holistic context, influenced and shaped by family history, experiences and culture.

In a world that expects us to empower ourselves, grow as individuals, and be as healthy as physically possible it can feel discouraging when we feel like we don’t have it all together. I believe that there is no standard way to live a happy and healthy life. In my practice I am passionate about exploring your unique inner world and helping you discover your best self. I value the therapeutic relationship as being a beautiful space for you to connect with your thoughts and feelings while learning how to bring about change in a healthy, compassionate manner.
