Hello, I'm Dr. Kevin Jablonski, a psychologist specializing in clinical, health, and trauma psychology with over 25 years in practice. Much of my current practice focuses on addressing loneliness, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relationship challenges. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and evidence-based. I primarily use mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, and acceptance commitment techniques. I'm dedicated to crafting a therapeutic partnership that honors your unique journey toward healing and personal growth, and I strive to impart my unwavering hopefulness and optimism to you.

Healing isn't always linear. Sometimes you may feel like you're taking two steps forward and one back, or bouncing between stages of grief or anger. I believe it is important to honor your emotions and experiences, and prioritize the things in your life that bring you joy, fulfillment, and purpose. I use a strengths-based, holistic approach to treatment, and emphasize providing culturally congruent care that is aligned with a client's unique identities and background. I believe in creating a safe and contained space to help clients live more authentically and in a way that fits with their values.

I work with clients who struggle to find happiness in their lives because they feel burdened by things that are out of their control. I enjoy helping clients find fulfillment no matter where they are in life. I hope to help my clients improve their self-esteem, reduce their stress levels, increase their understanding of themselves, and learn valuable stress management tools they can use outside of the therapy room.

Knowledge is power. Together, we find your inner strengths and apply them to the reasons you seek therapy. The more understanding you have of the specific issues, the better informed decisions you are apt to make in the future. Life is ever changing; issues that arise may continue to impact us in negative ways unless they are addressed effectively. It's never too late to make positive and lasting changes in your life. We'll work together to find ways that improve your ability to understand, cope and sustain the process to a better life.

You or a loved one may be struggling with substance use, depression, anxiety, loss, or life transitions (emphasis on the life part). Maybe you just need someone to ask you how you are really doing and be able to hold space for that. You may try talking yourself out of your pain or experience by telling yourself “someone else has it worse” or “I don’t deserve to be happy after everything I’ve done”. We often tell ourselves that our feelings, conflicts, or stories must look a certain way for them to deserve attention. I am committed to allowing you to show up to therapy exactly as you need to without making any changes.

As a therapist I work with individuals, adolescents, families and couples. My main frameworks are cognitive behavioral therapy, strengths based psychotherapy, and motivational interviewing. My primary job is to provide you with a safe non-judgemental space to process and to achieve the goals that will make you more fulfilled in our high stress Bay Area. I can serve as a guide along this path as you discover what it means to be the truest you. As well as assist you to overcome whatever has been holding you back. It isn’t always easy but working on ourselves brings great rewards.

My name is Bella Boas, LMFT. I meet you exactly where you are and work with you to determine the optimal tools to reach your goals. I will create a safe space where you can authentically show up with no judgment, shame, or guilt. Equipping clients with tools and education in combination with the process is empowering. I am passionate about working with motivated, dedicated teens, individuals, couples, and marriages who are pursuing health. I have an eclectic approach grounded in Person-Centered and Gestalt. Brainspotting is a powerful and effective tool for working with trauma and overall efficient processing.

I have been treating adults, individuals, and couples for over ten years. I assist clients in discovering of their strengths, building a support system, and developing healthy lifestyles to set the foundation for life success. I help with all different types of issues, from communication, anger, and intimacy, to trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use.

I practice with all different types of therapy modalities, including EMDR, which is helpful for anxiety and trauma.

There are times in everyone's life when we experience challenges and difficulties. Whether it be problems in our relationships or adjusting to a life transition, these challenges may affect our well-being, but they can also present an opportunity for growth and positive change.

Though I work with most issues, I specialize in helping people recover from complex trauma. People with narcissistic, abusive, or neglectful parents or partners sometimes develop issues with trusting themselves, have difficulty maintaining close relationships, struggle with an inner critic, vacillate often between depression and anxiety, lack a solid sense of identity, or feel a sense of emptiness when their lives seem great on paper. Sometimes that trauma can even become part of one's identity - I work with clients to build insight, boundaries, self-compassion, and acceptance to free themselves from it & live more fulfilling lives.

I provide a space where you can explore the various aspects of yourself and gain understanding of all the unique parts of our lives that are at play. One key role is making goals and ways to achieve them which can lead towards success. Making a hard decision is often anxiety producing and can cause strong emotional reactions. You may rationally know what the right answer is but are struggling with following through on it. You may even act in a manner that is not yourself at all. When we act in a way that is different than our values it can cause us to feel a whole bunch of different feelings that can be largely uncomfortable.

Welcome. We cannot solve life's problems except by solving them. My practice philosophy focuses on assisting every client find balance, peace, and happiness as defined by you.

I begin by working with the client(s) to establish an honest and open relationship characterized by mutual trust and support. I believe in an integrative approach, which cultivates courage, emotional resilience, and mindful (somatic) awareness.
