"I specialize in working with individuals and couples who want help improving the quality of their intimate relations. I use a humanistic approach also employing cognitive and behavioral skill building. I am supportive while providing honest feedback in my relationships with my clients. My main goal in the therapeutic relationship is to provide a safe, trusting environment where individuals can explore their feelings in their search for a more fulfilling life. I have special expertise doing therapy with couples experiencing low sexual desire and midlife transition issues."

"Give yourself the gift of therapy. You deserve to feel better! Whether you're extra stressed, trying to cope with life changes, or questioning your relationships or your sexuality, therapy helps you figure it out. Sometimes, it's about your job, family or health. Maybe you're depressed or anxious. Therapy is a safe, gentle place to get to know yourself, and figure out strengths, resources, resilience. Using connection and compassion, we build a relationship of trust and respect. We explore self-defeating patterns, and create new ways to react and respond to your life. We look at wellness and self-care, too."

"At my practice, Reframe Counseling + Coaching, I specialize in teens, adults, and Silicon Valley for-profit and nonprofit executive coaching. For my work and unique approach with adults, teens, and executives, I have been featured in TIME magazine, Psychology Today, Harvard Business Review, and I have appeared on the Oprah Network and NPR's Forum."

"I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adolescents, young adults, new and expecting mothers, and adults to navigate challenges including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, family conflict, and self-esteem."

"I enjoy helping people find answers to the many challenges life throws their way. I use evidence-based therapy practices to provide Christian counseling for individuals looking for help with stress, depression, anxiety, anger, abuse, grief, and many other mental health issues."

"I share your hope that, with skillful support, you can work through difficulties in your personal life, with your spouse, or your child. I bring a warm, caring and interactive style to our meetings and offer sensitive, skilled and compassionate guidance. I find that putting clients at ease and making a positive connection is the first step to working as a powerful client-therapist team to achieve the gains you seek. Together, we can view problems not as failings but as opportunities for personal growth and learning."

"Have you experienced events in your life that left you feeling scared, worried, and fearful about your safety and the future? If so, you may be suffering from trauma. As a trauma-focused practitioner, I have assisted children, teens, and adults in building resilience, finding hope, and improving their relationships with others. Many of my clients are victims and survivors of childhood trauma which can leave a person feeling detached and without the ability to set limits and boundaries in relationships. It is difficult for some to believe that the symptoms of today can be the result of a residual traumatic experience. However, it is my experience, that the implicit and explicit messages of our past have had a profound effect on our current thought processes and only until that is realized, can we evoke change. "

"Ok...let's start by talking, learning, and then we'll get coaching. Truthfully...you’re probably feeling stuck. Stuck in your relationship, your career, your role in life. Stuck with anxiety, stress, and unknowns. So, I keep it simple: first, let's just help you get...unstuck."

"I work with children and teens struggling with problems around school, mood and behavior while providing developmental guidance and effective parenting skills for parents. I work extensively with adults struggling with relationship and mood problems. Through providing a safe and relaxed environment, I guide them through a process of self-examination of their own patterns of thoughts, feelings, and relationship styles that kept them from getting what they want."

"As a health psychologist, I treat both psychological and medical conditions. Emotional and physical health go hand in hand. We figure out how your thoughts and emotions impact your health. "

"I treat individuals and couples. People see me to help ease distress and often to find greater meaning in life and connection in relationships. I work in a relational and supportive way, addressing underlying issues to resolve them. This process can alleviate sadness, anxiety, depression and resolve inner conflicts, while building self esteem and a conscious relationship with your inner self. A fresh perspective enables you to find your strength and courage, to clarify your thinking or even enliven deadened passions. At times psychotherapy can be difficult, but it also creates surprising and meaningful changes in your life."

"I have a particular expertise in working with clients who have diverse cultural backgrounds (e.g. ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation.) I also have a deep association working with artistic/creative type individuals and can address particular issues that arise being an artist confined to a conventional/mainstream worldview."

"I am passionate about helping people develop a healthy understanding of themselves in order to create and maintain positive relationships in their lives. I have worked with a diverse population of adults, couples, children, and adolescents. I work to help people understand their identity and self-worth. Sometimes, this can involve creating boundaries or making difficult decisions, and I want to walk through that process with my clients. As a therapist, my approach is relational and I seek to understand each unique story."

"Louise works with individuals, couples and families to help them improve their relationships and make healthy adjustments to change. She considers difficulties to be opportunities and catalysts for growth. She believes that people are often blocked from reaching their full potential in life by fears, resistances, and past conditioning. In a safe and caring environment, she helps people to explore these blockages, increase clarity, accept responsibility and develop greater awareness of themselves, others, and their environment."

"My philosophy in working with youth and adults is to share cognitive and mindfulness techniques, in a supportive setting, to help my clients make positive changes in their thoughts and actions. Utilizing personal accountability, combined with humor and lightness, I aim to help clients cultivate compassion for themselves, so they may be willing to experiment with new tools. I strive to help clients come back into their bodies, more effectively process their feelings, and move decisively toward wellness. My theory is to be flexible and sensitive in my approach while moving clients toward a more confident, realized version of themselves."

"There are often times in your life when you experience drought - be it a shortage of good health, diminished confidence in yourself, a want for more fulfilling relationships, a scarcity in your ability to nurture yourself while taking care of others. I invite you to explore and cultivate your resilience with me. Where there is resilience, there is always the potential for positive change and personal growth. In a respectful and safe environment, I encourage you to bring all aspects of yourself to our sessions. Together we will work to identify, and fortify, your unique strengths."

"I believe that experiencing loving, nurturing relationships is the best part of being alive. I also recognize that, for many of us, creating and maintaining such relationships can be incredibly challenging. I view psychotherapy as a means to explore and navigate whatever is currently blocking our path to healthy, fulfilling and supportive connections--both to others and to ourselves. Sometimes that means building skills we never learned in the first place. Other times that means navigating challenging past experiences. Whatever the circumstances, I am here to support your journey toward growth, fulfillment, and ultimately, greater joy. Practice day: Saturday."
