In Person Therapists in Walnut Creek, CA
Therapy is an incubator for change. It's where you workshop how to initiate it, and digest the changes that have happened. As a therapist, I am 'issue agnostic' and willing to work with most challenges. What's important is your desire to create a change, and readiness to collaborate with someone to create it. Equally vital to me, as a therapist, is that you feel actively heard — something sorely missing for many of us. I feel that we need to be heard and our experience recognized, before we can move on to any sort of change.

My name is Jane Vanderwerf, and I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) who specializes in anxiety, stress, and developmental trauma. I am a supportive, authentic, and direct therapist who prioritizes my clients' emotional safety and sense of connectedness. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. In practice, this means that we identify the underlying causes for symptoms and then use that insight to change the way you think and behave to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. I also use Exposure and Response Prevention for anxiety, Narrative Therapy, and some trauma-informed modalities.

There's a growing distance between the life you have and the one you actually want. The ache of being loved yet feeling lonely. The exhaustion of keeping everything afloat. The confusion of not recognizing the person looking back at you in the mirror or beside you in the bedroom. Something needs to change.

When we have an experience that is traumatic or incredibly stressful, our brains have a hard time processing that memory. This can create symptoms such as, anxiety, depression, overwhelming emotions, difficult feelings, self-blame, or relationship problems, to name a few. If given the opportunity, our minds, like our bodies, have the innate ability to heal. The trouble with difficult experiences, however, is that these memories get tangled, leaving us feeling stuck or showing up in other destructive ways in our lives.

I specialize in working with young adults (teens through 50+) and their families during times of great difficulty. Sometimes the problem is clear; other times, everyone has an opinion but nothing seems to work. Many of my clients feel they should be doing better, yet find themselves frustratingly stuck. Family dynamics, past trauma, substance use, or ongoing anxiety and depression leave them unsure how to move forward. Together, we focus on building momentum, strengthening confidence, and creating a life that feels purposeful and self-directed.
