As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I believe our thoughts, perceptions, and life experiences have a significant impact on our feelings and behavior. My approach will help uncover how your life experiences may have shaped maladaptive thoughts and perceptions that are at the root of undesired behaviors and episodes of stress, anxiety, and depression. But that's not enough! With
Mindfulness
, we'll discover creative ways to recognize thought and perception patterns that may not be working for you and replace these patterns with ones that help you reach your goals.

Many people come to therapy to resolve problems in relationships, manage stress related to work and family, to learn how to adapt to minor and major changes in life, or simply to enhance one’s sense of self. I believe that clients are the experts in their own lives, and that my job as a therapist is to guide clients in resolving their issues by providing a wide variety of cognitive behavioral and
mindfulness
tools and techniques that can easily be applied to daily life and that will alleviate suffering in a relatively short period of time.

Are you tired of feeling stuck in the same old patterns and issues, over and over again? Maybe you've tried therapy in the past, but felt like your therapist just "nodded and listened," and didn't help you to explore anything new? Or maybe you've been in conventional talk therapy for years, and are itching to try something completely different and start thinking outside the box? I can help with that! I'm a holistic psychotherapist, who works with individuals, children, couples & families to find new ways to approach old problems.

Ann Margaret Stillingfleet
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
Working from a more holistic approach to therapy, integrating both somatic and transpersonal facets to our conscious experience of life, I assist clients, through
mindfulness
, meditation, dreams and expressive arts to access, trust and develop strengths, attributes and resources to cope with anxiety, depression, body dysphoria, pain, grief and loss.
I choose to see life's challenges as invitations to know ourselves more honestly, and to accept ourselves as we are. I believe that when individuals are self-aware they experience life as more meaningful and challenges as less distressing. I help individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions and relationship issues, to embrace their wholeness and strengthen inner resources not yet recognized. From this place of knowing and alternate or adjusted perspective, individuals develop compassion for self and other, gain confidence in relationships, and feel more assured in their ability to address the challenges life presents.

I have a relaxed approach that is spiced with humor and education. My goal is to have a comfortable and creative environment to help you make the changes you want to see. I'm big on education and will likely push books, articles, and videos on you; or at least summarize to the best of my ability. I'm also big on self acceptance and self-awareness, using practical
mindfulness
and personal intelligence as a guide. This means getting to know yourself and your strengths to learn how to use them to help yourself.

I am a teletherapist providing psychotherapy across the general Bay area, expanding across California. Are you feeling stuck? Sometimes not taking action highlights the familiarity in your situation, although it can be life interfering and soul-sucking.

We can find ways to help you make changes.

Do you ever feel disconnected from yourself or others? Although our country has made progress in raising mental health awareness, a great deal of stigma remains. In many communities, these issues are often shrouded by silence and shame, fostering mental health minimization. I have experience working with individuals and family relationships. I work with problems that arise in blended families, work, health, and career, trying to create better relationships and less conflict. Through role-plays, Gestalt techniques, and
mindfulness
, you can gain the power to reflect on your feelings, understand yourself and feel better.
Will Alexander
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

I use an integrative approach that is based on the individual needs of the people in front of me and begins with compassion and empathy. I believe forming a strong therapeutic relationship is key for therapy to be successful. Rooted in person-centered therapy, I use empathy, respect, humor, and curiosity to guide treatment. From there, I weave various evidenced based practices together like Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, attachment theory and
mindfulness
strategies to challenge, empower, build insight and guide you to healthier ways of managing life.

Verified
I am a strong advocate for the use of evidenced based treatments and am trained in the following: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure Therapy including Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and
Mindfulness
-Based Relapse Prevention.
I believe the purpose of therapy is to create a safe and validating environment where people can focus on creating a "life worth living". I help facilitate this journey by focusing on both acceptance and change in a warm, interactive and thoughtful fashion. If you are someone who is struggling to manage your emotions and behaviors because of anxiety, depression, or trauma we can work together to define the life you want and overcome the obstacles to it.
Elisabeth Powell
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
My approach to therapy draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),
Mindfulness
, Attachment Theory, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
People generally seek therapy when something in their life isn’t the way they want it to be, whether it be uncomfortable feelings, difficult relationships, challenging transitions, problematic behaviors, etc.. Our task is a process of understanding the factors that have led to this place (i.e. early relationships, impactful experiences, traumas; whatever factors contribute to how one sees themselves), which then allows for looking clearly at the present, and looking intentionally towards the future, in identifying what is most important for you in your life, connecting with your authentic values, and aligning with those values.

I'm particularly experienced in and passionate about working with trauma in its many forms, and partnering with you to transform harm into what serves you, your beloved relationships, and the world you want to see. I offer individual counseling with youth and adults and relationship counseling with loved ones of all kinds.
