Female Therapists in Cambrian Park, San Jose, CA

You may be feeling not good enough, stuck in a toxic relationship, uncomfortable asking for help, scared of conflict, intimidated, taken advantage of. You can achieve, tough it out, and make other people happy, but aren’t really happy yourself. You seem FINE on the outside, but anxiety lingers underneath. You want enjoyment, connection, and to be respected.

Do you feel controlled by food, rather than in control of it ? Are you obsessed with eating, dieting or bingeing? Does your scale determine your mood? Is your life strongly impacted by your weight? Life doesn't have to be a weight struggle. Learn the difference between head and body hunger. Decipher what your obsessive behavior is really saying. Acquire physical, mental and emotional balance. Whether it is eating, drinking, anger, spending, controlling, an addiction is a mal-adaptive attempt at managing feelings and escaping discomfort.

Daily life brings plenty of stresses, but most of us manage to function pretty well in spite of them. Sometimes, however, the stresses become more than we can handle, making us feel nervous, sad or angry. We might argue more with loved ones, have trouble sleeping or difficulty concentrating. Physical problems might show up like headaches or stomach complaints. If all this weren't enough, we might self-medicate by doing things like over-eating, excessive drinking or shopping. While these activities are actually attempts to self-comfort, a more productive way to gain relief when life gets out of control is to seek therapy.

VIDEO SESSIONS AVAILABLE! The day begins with feeling inadequate. Next comes "I can't change" and "Why can't I be happy.” These thoughts come frequently. It feels like a vicious cycle. Negative thoughts create hopelessness which then leads to isolation and disconnect from friends and co-workers. You find yourself alone at home on Friday nights. The exercise routines are few and far between. You eat foods you shouldn't (and then you feel guilty). The shame comes next. You feel stuck, and the negative thoughts become more intense. You’ve tried making changes but they have been difficult to maintain, so you stop. It feels hopeless.

Issues stemming from anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma can get in our way of living a satisfying, fulfilling life. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We all have within us the capacity to cope with, and even grow from, hardships and challenges. With my guidance we will explore and process the underlying fears, unmet needs, and negative beliefs that keep you “stuck”. We will cultivate your inner strengths to help you become healthier, more resilient, and enjoy more positivity in your life and your relationships with others.

Are you a woman whose life looks “good” from the outside, and yet it still feels like something is missing? You’ve accomplished a lot in life, but don’t feel the sense of fulfillment you expected. A big life change—maybe a breakup, new job, new marriage, change in family dynamic, or move—has highlighted the fact that you’re still not as happy or content as you want to be. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You want to gain deeper insight into yourself & your past experiences, and you’re ready to change your “default setting” and start creating new patterns in your life.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space for you to explore and discover yourself. I accept you as you are; messy, sad, fearful, confused, mean, angry, you name it. Most people seek out therapy when they are at their lowest- I will meet you where you are. Nothing is too depressing, too dark, too shameful, too small- therapy is for all of it.

Change can be difficult -- Allow me to help you succeed on your journey! Throughout my years of experience, I've found great joy and satisfaction in helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with children treating for phobias, unhappiness, divorce, grief, separation issues, abuse, neglect, poor self-esteem, and problems adjusting to life transitions. I use a combination of play therapy, art therapy, and talk therapy, as appropriate per the child's developmental level.

Please note that I am licensed as a psychotherapist in California only, therefore you must physically be in the state of California during our teletherapy session. The magic of therapy is in thoughtful conversation; no more, no less. When things seem difficult, it helps to have someone to talk to who can remind you about your sense of meaning and purpose and remind you that you somehow got as far as you did!

Have you experienced abuse (e.g. physical, sexual, psychological, emotional, etc.) in the past and do the impacts of it seem to keep coming up in your relationships today? My name is Soy and I would like to help you find healing from your past. My approach to support your healing is through relationships--relationship with yourself, with others, and with me. I believe that relationships are at the core of our well-being and I will walk alongside you as we explore, sometimes challenge, and navigate strategies that no longer serve you, as well as the ones that do, in an open, honest, and curious way.

Since 1979 I have acquired a broad range of experiences and skills, not the least of which is a sense of humor. I work with people to help them make real changes in the way they live their lives in areas such as self esteem, relationships, and communications.

Parents, are you worried that your teen may be stressed or depressed? Are they refusing to communicate with you, staying up real late at night, becoming defiant and or have excessive use of gaming or social media? Has social distancing caused them to isolate from friends and family and sleep all day? Have they seemed to have lost all motivation and have no structure to their daily life? My name is Tametra Johnson and I am the founder of Jacobs Ladder Therapies. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years experience working with teens and mental health.

My specialization is in the area of stress, mood disorder, trauma, relationship problems, ADD, ADHD, autism, asperger disorder, speech disorder and learning disability. My orientation is eclectic, psychodynamic, hypnotherapy, EMDR, and EEG Neurofeedback. I work with adults, adolescents, as well as children.

Becoming a mother is supposed to be the happiest time of your life but you are feeling overwhelmed. You’re exhausted, stressed and feeling guilty for feeling this way. You think this makes you a bad parent. You’re scared to tell your friends and family about how you’ve been feeling because you worry about what they will think of you. If this sounds like you, you are not alone and this is not your fault. These are common things I hear when I’m working with new mothers struggling with mood and anxiety around pregnancy and the post-partum period.

Do you ever feel stuck or overwhelmed? Do you feel like everyone around you is progressing while you sit anxiously waiting for your life to finally start? Are you the one standing at the edge of a pool waiting to jump in but you’re too afraid? What if it’s too deep? What if the water is too cold? You’re not alone. Sometimes we carry negative patterns of thinking from our past that serve as roadblocks to deeper levels of self-awareness. I can help you navigate through the challenging moments in life, and together we can work to uncover what is holding you back from reaching your full potential.
