Providence Therapists in Pleasanton, CA
Accepting New Patients in May 2026!
Over my last decade in the mental health field, I have worked with people struggling with emotion dysregulation and life transitions across all phases of life. People seek my support when they want an evidence-based and individualized approach to their current problems. When I first meet someone, I collaborate with them to set the appropriate therapeutic pace, because beginning therapy with someone new can be difficult, whether it is for the first time or the tenth time. My goal is to make sure every person gets the most out of each session, be it coping skills or a listening ear.

From the outside, you may appear capable, responsible, and put together. You show up for others and handle what needs to get done. But internally, there may be anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of disconnection that is harder to name. Over time, many begin to realize these patterns are not random. They are shaped by earlier experiences and the ways you learned to adapt in order to get through.

Most people who find their way to my practice have already tried the advice. They've read the books, made the lists, talked to the friends. Something still isn't moving. Hi, I'm Nathan Choi, and I help adults and teens navigate the ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction to find true belonging. My journey began at UC Berkeley (Cognitive Science) to learn how the mind works. I don't do advice. I don't hand out homework or tell you what your problem is. If you've been in therapy before and left feeling like you were being steered somewhere, that's not what happens here. My work is person-centered — you're the one who knows your life..

You are successful by every external measure - and exhausted by an internal one no one else can see.
The decisions you carry don't come with simple answers. They involve your business, your relationships, your sense of who you are and who you're becoming. You've tried thinking your way through. You've tried pushing harder. The weight hasn't lifted.
I work with founders, executives, and high-responsibility professionals in California and Oregon who need more than traditional talk therapy. My clients are people who think deeply, carry heavily, and sense that the clarity they need requires going somewhere some therapy doesn't go.

From the outside, it may look like you are functioning fine, but internally you feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard you try to change them. ADHD, anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm can quietly affect every area of life. Maybe communication keeps breaking down, the same arguments repeat, or you feel like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way. You do not need another place to simply vent — you want real change, deeper connection, and a life that feels fulfilling again for yourself and your relationships.

All members of a family have an important job. I believe in a family-centered approach that prioritizes connection which promotes resilience in children and their families. As a parent/caregiver, you deserve a space to process your experiences and feelings that arise when caring for a child. Children encounter challenges at every stage of development. Whether these difficulties are typical for their age or arise from unexpected stressors affecting the child or family, seeking counseling might be beneficial. I have decades of experience working with children and find ease and joy in building rapport with kids.
