Therapists in Santa Clara, CA

I work with women and highly sensitive people who are struggling with anxiety and specifically want to understand how their family and upbringing have affected them so that they can grow out of those patterns. Sometimes this can be setting better boundaries, creating closer relationships, or receiving brainspotting to heal from childhood attachment trauma/emotional neglect.

Do you find yourself experiencing the same recurring intrusive thoughts? Reliving disturbing memories day after day? Having recurring nightmares? Withdrawing from life and others and increasing your isolation from the world? Are you struggling with Performance Anxiety or communication challenges at work, school or in relationships? If so, you may be suffering from PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Untreated, these symptoms can worsen over time. If you find you are struggling with symptoms of PTSD, Anxiety, Depressed Mood, Phobias, Addictions, Identity or Spiritual Emergency I am here to help.

Welcome! With my warm gentle nature and holistic approach, I support my clients in uncovering their true resilient selves. I love working with young adults and women who are looking to find relief from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and grief, as well as those seeking support with perfectionism, relationships, dating, identity, spirituality, sexuality, and creativity. I see therapy as a journey of discovering the parts of you that have been in hiding – maybe those parts that you thought were unlovable or shameful.

My clients usually come to me with severe anxiety, depression, or relationship patterns that seem to keep repeating themselves. They might constantly feel like they are not good enough, or have trouble relaxing and unwinding. They might be triggered by seemingly minor things that send them spiraling into self-doubt and anxiety/depression. All of the above experiences are very common responses to trauma. Together, we’ll work through these triggers so you can feel more like you’re in the driver’s seat.

I am Dr. Katie Ohene-Gambill owner of KNO Consulting and Psychological Services and welcome to the first step in your healing journey! Through creating a collaborative and inclusive treatment plan, I work with clients to build skills to reduce various levels of distress, improve mood, process life, work, and college transitions, and navigate interpersonal concerns. I invite clients to explore how they can shift/reframe unhelpful thought narratives, build closure for themselves, and find meaningful ways to thrive in their lives.

Do you desire to feel more grounded and able to respond to life stressors with more ease? Perhaps you aspire for a more purposeful and balanced life? Let's work together and address any barriers that are holding you back from achieving and sustaining purposeful engagement in your life.

If you or your child is struggling with depression, social relationships or having trouble coping with other difficulties life has thrown at you it is time to ask for help. You can get comfort and learn the skills to cope with anxiety, grief, social fears etc. Talking to a therapist can be the first step towards a more joyful and satisfying life. I work with children, teens, and adults, couples, and families. Child therapy sessions involve play therapy and the use of creative art materials. Sometimes just having someone to listen can make all the difference.

I'M SORRY, I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ACCEPT NEW OR RETURNING CLIENTS. Do you lay awake worrying about your relationship, your family, money, your job, or your life in general? Feel stressed out, unable to relax? Wish you could "stop the world and get off" for while? Therapy is a good place to do just that. To help you figure out what's not working, and new ways to approach old problems. Like how to talk to your partner without getting into the same fight over and over. Or how to get your kid to stop "talking back." Or maybe you just need someone to talk to, who won't judge you.

MINDFULNESS, BALANCE, GROWTH, AND EMPOWERMENT. It is possible to achieve a higher level of inner peace and reduce unnecessary suffering. We all can "lose our way" at times and find ourselves in situations that are difficult and painful. I believe that these crises can hold within them tremendous opportunities for growth and strengthening. Although most enter therapy during a crisis, the therapeutic process need not also feel painful or traumatizing. I will create a safe and validating therapeutic environment in which to transform personal suffering into strength and wisdom. We will collaborate to establish clarity and direction in our therapy.

Welcome - I'm so glad you’re here! Looking for a therapist can be overwhelming. Sometimes frustrating. A little scary.

Whether you know that you'd like to find an attachment-based therapist, or you aren't sure exactly what you're looking for, it's ok. I'm here to help.
