Bisexual Therapists in San Rafael, CA

I specialize in helping people change behaviors that are harming their relationships and keeping them from living to their fullest potential. Together, we find what is causing anxiety, depression, irritability, or "the blahs." Many people have patterns in their behaviors or relationships that are stuck repeating and don't know why. Using evidence-based practices to inform our work, we can uncover what's underneath these symptoms to get you lasting relief. I also specialize in working with folks in the queer community, poly and open relationship issues.

I specialize in working affirmatively with sex and gender diversity and sex-positive communities (LGBTQ*, non-normative relationships, open/non-monogamous, burners, polyamory, polysexuality, asexuality, intersex, gender nonconformity/fluidity, BDSM/kink, leather, fetish, HIV+, HepC+, Herpes+). I welcome clients with issues around minority stress, neurodivergence, depression/anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, couples/multiple-partner relationships, parent/child relationships, family counseling. I also welcome those looking to heal sexual trauma or those working through sexual difficulties. I'm a well-trained integrative sex therapist.

Welcome! I am so happy you're here. Are you feeling unsatisfied with how you respond in certain situations, or with certain people? Are you currently moving through a difficult transition, such as an identity shift (e.g. parenthood), a recent move, breakup or loss? Are you wanting support with forming different types of boundaries, finding your voice, or expressing your needs? Are you a couple or relationship needing support? These are just some of the areas that I frequently engage in, with my clients.

You might find yourself interrupted by reminders and feel like you're reliving the past. Like you’re always on edge. Your nerves are constantly frazzled, leaving you exhausted by the end of the day. It's tough to relax or unwind when you’re always anticipating the next trigger. Your relationships are feeling it too. Maybe this leads to interactions you aren’t proud of, like snapping at your kids or your partner. This constant state of tension can leave you feeling drained and overwhelmed. You’re looking for a glimmer of hope. Your experiences have shaped you, but they don't have to dictate your future. I'm here to help.

Accepting new clients. For 20 years, I continue to be humbled by your unique journey. I believe that all voices are equal and that multiple perspectives can exist simultaneously in a world where differences have become a challenge for many. I provide a non-judgmental space and relaxed style and welcome you as you are. Society teaches us to be one strong person, which can minimize the vital and essential parts in us that reveal our true Self. Do you have compassion for all of your parts? How do you show up in your life? And how can I best help you move forward from where you are to where you want to be? www.michelleoglemft.com

I work with people struggling with anxiety and relationships. You may not know what is getting in the way of feeling good in your life, but you know it's supposed to be better. You may be going through a rough patch and just need support or you may have a history that hurts, either way therapy can help.

Therapy is a tool to reflect, learn, and process one's experiences to create a more fulfilling and authentic life worth living. I work with individuals and with couples seeking support for a variety of concerns. With over a decade of experience in providing therapy, I have honed in my approach as trauma-informed and strengths based. I also have spent many years of education and experience working with the LGBTQ+ communities.

You may be educated, even outwardly successful, but struggle to feel good about yourself, have difficulties with close relationships or just want more out of life. I believe it's human to struggle and that we all can benefit from self exploration. You stand to gain, and so does your partner, children, friends, even co-workers when you're bringing more of your best self to the game. My style is active and I bring humor and compassion to help you develop solutions as well as grow from your struggles. A seasoned therapist, my approach is flexible and practical, tailored to meet your needs. I'm LGBTQIA sensitive and welcoming.

I am passionate about supporting you in exploring what’s getting in the way of being your full self and having the connections you want. I provide psychotherapy to adult individuals, couples, and more than couples from a place of open-mindedness, curiosity, and sex-positivity, and an awareness that our lives don’t always unfold as expected. People who work well with me include those with liminal identities that may not fit neatly into boxes and who may feel like outsiders in some spaces.

You have the capacity to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life! There are multiple forms and layers of oppression that impact our daily lives and self worth.

As your therapist, I act as a support working collaboratively alongside you to identify goals, action steps and interventions tailored specifically to your individual needs and identity.

I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking a deeper awareness of their past, in order to understand themselves in the present and thrive in the future. I strive to create trusting relationships with my clients that allow us to work together collaboratively. I typically help clients with relational issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions and trauma. I utilize a LGBTQIA+ affirmative lens and fuse together a psychodynamic approach and when appropriate Attachment Focused EMDR to target traumas. I also enjoy working with couples who are looking to tune up their communication skills and make time to reconnect.

Seeking Feminist, body-neutral, LGBTQIA+ celebrating depth therapy? Culture, race, ethnicity, gender, sex, sexuality impact the stories we are told about who we are, can be & should be. These social narratives affect how we think about ourselves & require time, attention & care to unpack, process & heal. You’ve come to a point where you know old narratives aren’t serving you, they're playing out in your relationships, career, family, internal narrative & you want to create more joy, freedom & ease in your day to day. A feminist LGBTQIA+ affirming & celebrating lens can be healing, empowering, & liberating one for all identities!

I offer transpersonal alternatives to talk therapy. I specialize in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, Inner Child work, Brainspotting Trauma Therapy, and other somatic, mindfulness-based and energy modalities.

I love to work with people from diverse backgrounds, live alternative lifestyles, are spiritually inclined, and/or face marginalization. I honor and value your authentic true nature.

Welcome to a space where healing is rooted in empathy, understanding, and genuine connection.

Whether you're traversing the challenges of youth, navigating the complexities of adulthood, or somewhere in between, my goal is to meet you where you are with empathy and compassion. Together, we'll create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences with authenticity and trust.

I am here for you. If you are seeking support for life challenges, reach out to me and begin your healing journey today.

As a therapist, I approach my work with warmth, humility, and curiosity. I view therapy as a collaborative experience, and as someone on my own mental health journey, I have a vast amount of respect and empathy for the folks I work with. While I prioritize the relationship and believe that all good work will begin with a strong connection, I do also like to focus on exploring concrete options for moving forward with a client’s goals. While therapy is certainly never easy, I do my best to create a therapeutic space that feels comfortable, non-judgmental, and hopefully at times even enjoyable.

Welcome! My practice focuses on LGBTQIA+ issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationships. Before opening my practice I spent a number of years working in community mental health at a local nonprofit dedicated to serving LGBTQIA+ and HIV+ communities. This is where I learned just how special it is to work with queer & trans adults, adolescents, parents and families. An immense amount of healing can happen when there's space to explore identity, increase self-understanding, and process past experiences. My practice is queer & trans affirming, relational, collaborative, and celebratory of our collective resilience.

Are you struggling with your relationship to alcohol, food, or other substances? Is your communication with your partner or family member(s) filled with tension or conflict? Do you often feel worried or on edge? Do you ever experience stigma or discrimination from others due to having an identity that is marginalized or misunderstood? I have over 9 years of experience working with people who are dealing with these issues.
