Therapists in San Jose, CA

As a sensitive and deeply feeling person, you struggle to navigate big feelings, sensory stimulation, and a strong emotional response to the state of the world today. You are impacted by the world around you, and are privy to the pain of others who suffer. The weight of a hurting world lives inside you, along with all that you sometimes struggle to feel. You are sensitive, spiritually inclined, and committed to personal and collective transformation. You are seeking a space of support and accountability, where you can develop the capacity and mindset to grow, expand, and open, through those times when things feel “too much.”

You're doing your best to get through life and curve balls it sometimes throws at you. But that doesn't mean that its easy, and you definitely don't have to do it alone! If you are struggling, with the challenges of life, relationships, family stress, work stress, anxiety, addiction, co-dependency, life-transitions, self-esteem, boundaries, etc., lets work together to help you manage and navigate the challenges that lay before you. I practice IFS, motivational interviewing, solution focused, narrative therapy, Jungian, and often implement a spiritual approach when applicable.

Whether you're experiencing depression, anxiety, trouble in family life or close relationships, know that you're not alone. Life's troubles don't have to be permanent and change is possible. These struggles can be overwhelming and keep us from accessing our inner strength and power. My approach to the therapeutic process is grounded in the connectedness I build with my clients. It is based on my client's needs and in my capacity for genuineness, acceptance, caring, and deep understanding of your unique life experience.

Hey there and welcome! My name is Michelle (she/her) and I'm an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. I've been lucky enough to work with some amazing families and individuals over the past 7 years and help them tackle all sorts of mental health concerns, and I’d like to help you too. Are you looking for someone to listen, understand, and walk with you through the toughest challenges you're facing? Do you need someone who's been there and done that, and can relate to your struggles?

Welcome to my practice. I have about 15 years of clinical experience and have been featured on NBC/KCAL/HLN as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

Are you looking to begin a journey of self-exploration? Welcome, you have come to the right place. I commend you for taking an important step in creating the life that you deserve.It is not always easy to acknowledge the need for help, and I am thankful you have taken that step. I have over 6 years of experience in the field. I have worked successfully with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, interpersonal conflict, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. I provide a compassionate and safe environment for you to share your life story,and begin to understand your thought process, emotions, and responses.

If you are having trouble with your relationship, or struggling with other relationships in your family, you are not alone. Most couples and families go through difficult periods and face challenges at times. As a father of three adult children and a married partner of thirty years, I can relate to these challenges. I’ve had many and still work on my relationships every day.

Hi there! You’re here and that is an important step! I have always been passionate about the human story. I find it remarkable to listen to my clients’ journey and create a space together to pause, reflect and heal. My own healing journey has taught me that life gets hard, healing is messy, and also...that we don’t have to go through it alone. The therapy space is a valuable one and a protected process that allows you to honor the truth of your unique self while better understanding the systems and structures that we operate within, allowing us to bring more balance into the way we see ourselves and our interactions with the world.

I have the desire to help heal people that come my way. I have over 10 years of experience working with all populations and many diagnoses.

Are you struggling with anxiety and trauma and turning towards unhealthy coping mechanisms in an attempt to manage your emotions? Now is a trying time for almost everyone, and if you have a trauma background what's coming up in the current environment may be reminiscent of the stress, isolation, and fear-induced by early childhood experiences. You don't have to handle this alone, and with clinically tested techniques to regulate the mind and body, it's possible to shift from a place of disempowerment to strength.

These are difficult times we live in and that impacts our feelings about ourselves, our outlook on the future and often, our closest relationships. Sometimes we feel misunderstood, depressed, anxious and/or alone. Whether you're moving through a life transition, experiencing relationship difficulties, trying to accept things as they are, or make peace with who you are, having a safe, healthy space to share is important. Having a compassionate professional who listens and offers support will be helpful as you navigate the way forward.

We all have moments when we struggle with emotions and stressors that seem overwhelming at the time and take us away from enjoying all that life has to offer. Utilizing my more than 22 years of experience and training, I will work hand in hand with you to understand and address the problems that have prompted you to seek help. I create a safe and non-judgmental environment to support you or your family as together we discover a path for your healing, growth and change.

I like to offer you a safe and compassionate space to explore your relationship with yourself and the significant people in your life. Together we can support you to develop clarity on what you want/need and how to express/communicate them to your family, friends and coworkers. Through psycho education and examination of how your past experiences/attachments have shaped your behavior and the lens from which you see the world, you can make the changes you hope for and heal from past traumas. I have faith in your wisdom to develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others.

You deserve to feel seen, heard, and to know you matter in your relationships. Connection is key to good mental health. Connection with ourselves, our romantic partner(s), our family, and our friends. Many of our issues stem from our relationships. Whether it is a current relationship or trauma hanging around from childhood or past experiences. I want to help you achieve the relationship you deserve whether that is with your partner(s), self or, family, grieving the loss of a relationship, breaking negative patterns, deciding to stay or go, dating, or exploring your relationship orientation or structure.

Hi, I’m Laura. Many of my clients are creative and part of the LGBTQ or addiction recovery communities. We work on concerns related to depression, anxiety, trauma, and continued recovery. A lot of topics come up underneath these broad categories (relationship struggles, overthinking, overeating, low motivation, a sense of detachment or lack of vibrancy in life, etc.) and these things can absolutely get better. If you are someone who feels frustrated because you know why you struggle but don't know what to do about it, I may be able to help.
