Therapists in Santa Clara, CA

Life can be very challenging and at some point we may need a little support. Linda Grove has experience working with relationship issues, boundaries, anxiety, depression, bipolar, grief, loss, life transition, self worth, and trauma.

I integrate all my training in helping clients heal and transform their lives in the direction which honors living one's full potential/purpose. I work with individuals and offer women's expressive arts groups. The areas I have worked with include: mild - moderate anxiety, mild - moderate depression, stress reduction, communication skills, codependency, low self- esteem, relational issues, grief, social skill building, marital/divorce/relationship issues, women's issues, racial/ethnic/cultural concerns, meaning of life, life transitions, life purpose, identity questions, BIPOC issues, spiritual issues, and eco-related issues.

Many women I work with talk about losing themselves and feeling frustratingly stuck. Are you a healthcare practitioner, nurse, or first responder? I specialize in working with women in the "helping fields". High expectations take a toll on our minds and our bodies. You want to feel grounded and confident. You need time to look inward and heal. You’re ready to develop a pathway forward, one where you feel hopeful and in control. You're in the right place. I also have a special interest in working with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I work with first-generation American-born people and "third culture" kids.

Brenda Cisneros is a highly experienced therapist who specializes in providing support to adult women of color who have a history of relationship trauma. It is common for individuals to constantly question their thoughts and feelings, doubt their life decisions, and feel trapped in unhealthy relationships. This pattern can lead to a distorted perception of oneself and the world around us. Brenda Cisneros understands these challenges intimately and is dedicated to helping her clients break free from these barriers.

My name is Carol Fox, LMFT and I have been in practice for many years, witnessing the changes in the need and acceptance of therapy as a tool to becoming a better person. Finding self has many paths, so many therapies have been created, but the focus is always the same: finding the self in the lives we live each and every day. My approach to therapy is to find the right path back to the self. Life presents many challenges, whether they be trauma or change of circumstances. These challenges are on a spectrum in everyone's life. People who are willing to work on themselves are most receptive to therapy, or the art of exploring.

As a licensed psychologist skilled in providing psychotherapy that addresses the full spectrum of human experience, I collaborate with you to attain healing and resolution of your problems, advance in your growth and transformation, and increasingly realize your potential. I facilitate the integration of your sense of identity, purpose, and values with the way you live your life to endow it with greater authenticity and meaning. As an Episcopal priest and Buddhist practitioner, I foster your spiritual development and worldly integration. In these ways, I assist you in the creation of a more peaceful, happy, and fulfilling life.

I trust your intuition. You may have landed here because you're feeling something difficult, or not quite sure how you feel. I work relationally to help you connect more to yourself and to integrate all parts of your experience, safely. I find a depth-oriented approach effective with utilizing EMDR, Attachment, DBT, Somatic Experiencing, & Psychodynamic lenses. I do not view symptoms as a pathology, but information about our needs, our inner world, and our life's meaning. I am in it with you.

I facilitate conversations that inspire insight and change. I enjoy using the practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), and other modalities, but at my core, I am relational.

You deserve to live a life of alignment and fulfillment and to receive support as you do so. Taking the step to speak to a therapist is an act of self-honoring as you move in a new direction in your life. My ideal client is motivated and seeks a caring therapist willing to individualize treatment. If this is you, and you are interested in EMDR, parts work/IFS, and a somatic orientation, please don't hesitate to reach out to connect further.

Additionally, Kathy is a MAPS trainee therapist, learning more about IFS and somatic methods for healing. My theoretical approach is a mix of psychodynamic, CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness. I am influenced by eastern approaches to psychology and spirituality. There is no way out, but through.

My style is collaborative, compassionate and non formulaic. Together, we decide what the issues are and how to tackle them. A special focus of my practice is with creative's and culturally diverse people. Besides teaching clients new skills to overcome their feelings of depression, anxiety, trauma or low self-esteem, I am also trained as a master career coach and can help you find greater meaning in your career choices or achieve success in your job search or in improving your work relationships.

Are you outwardly successful but don't feel it on the inside? Are you afraid to take risks or feel that you are not living as fully as you want?

I approach psychotherapy from a whole-person perspective and I believe therapy, along with other practices, can help us awaken to a life of meaning. In therapy I will help you identify the source of your longing to be whole, and together, we will move closer to that source, so you become re-sourced. Together we will explore your innate natural cycles and help you align to your own rhythm, so that you might meet depletion with rest and energy with creativity.

Are you feeling lost and misguided? You may find yourself overwhelmed by choosing a path, by the challenges you are facing in this world, struggling with pain from the past, and fear of the future. My goal is to build a supportive relationship with you to help you find your way again, connect with your strengths, resources, and inner guidance. To provide the gifts to help you heal, grow, and to achieve your goals.
