Grief Therapists in Sunnyvale, CA

My name is Andrea Calvo and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (License no. 108211). My focus balances an exploration of past strengths and present goals. I can help with aging, chronic illness, coping skills, grief , stress, anxiety, depression, and more. I work with an adult population. I do have specialty in working with an older adult population. My theoretical approach when working with clients involves a cognitive behavioral approach, as well as solution focused therapy. I believe that change happens through empowerment.

It’s difficult to begin therapy. But if you're in a lot of emotional pain, it can feel like life is running you; you've lost the driver's seat. Once you reach out for support, we begin. Together, we'll explore any distorted thinking patterns you may be having and develop your strengths so that you can regain a sense of agency and equanimity. We'll focus on your core values and how you can make changes to align with them. Your precious life is worth it! I look forward to talking to you.

You do not have to go through life challenges alone. People come to see me for a number of reasons. Maybe you are seeking help for anxiety or depression or maybe you are going through a difficult event, like the death of a loved one, a break-up, or health issues. Maybe you hope to have healthier and more satisfying relationships. Maybe you are haunted by experiences stemming from childhood or the more recent past. We all are seeking a better life, a pathway to some change, and a greater sense of peace or confidence. Therapy is a great place to work toward these goals.

Most of us, if not all of us, come to a point in life where we need to regain our balance and redefine our goals. I know so because I have seen my clients, friends, and myself in such situations. By working together with you, I can help you to focus, mobilize your inner strength and establish new strategies to overcome problems that have become apparent. Topics that I handle (but I am not restricted to) are grief and trauma coping, relationship or family issues, anger management, and cultural or generational conflicts.

Do you wonder why the same problems show up over and over? Do you struggle to make the right decisions and then blame yourself for failing? Do you feel overwhelmed, unhappy, or stuck? If you respond positively to these questions, hope and help are at your fingertips. To support your needs, I provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment that help you deal with your personal challenges. I have a special interest in working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, parenting, co-parenting, and life transitions such as divorce or job loss .

As human beings we learn, develop meaning, and create a sense of purpose through each other and the relationships we form. In the same spirit I believe the therapeutic process is driven by the relationship formed between the client and the therapist. This is why my approach in therapy is guided by the question - "How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for their personal growth?" I strive to create an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you feel safe and empowered to work toward personal growth and creating lasting change; forming trust and leaning toward vulnerability.

​ I am truly passionate in working with individuals that are seeking balance, growth, and harmony in their lives.

Hi! If I have learned one thing in life it's that change is difficult, particularly without help. I offer the opportunity to work collaboratively through what's keeping you from living the life you always thought you would have. Therapy can help one let go of patterns and beliefs, often subconscious, that aren't working. And changing our assumptions about the world and improving our relationships can result in profoundly positive changes and a life worth embracing! I look forward to helping you realize those changes.

I primarily see individual adult clients. I take a collaborative approach and provide the support, patience and compassion necessary to promote change and growth. I feel fortunate to work in private practice and at a local hospital. I see a diverse population of clients and have exposure to a wide variety of issues and diagnoses: anxiety, depression, ADHD, domestic violence/trauma, work stress, parenting, relationship problems, grief / loss , chronic illness/pain, assertiveness/self-esteem, gender incongruence, caregiver stress and life transitions (going to college, having a baby, getting married/divorced, moving, changing jobs).

We can emerge from our struggles more sturdy, wise, and fulfilled than ever before. This is the opportunity hidden in life's challenges: they compel us to stretch and grow, to uncover untapped potentials, and to engage our lives in new and creative ways. My role is to serve as a support and guide to help you transform struggle into growth and change. I bring a warm and open heart, years of experience, and a thorough knowledge of a variety of therapeutic methods including leading-edge mindfulness-based approaches.
