I am and integral therapist, meaning I am trained in and practice multiple different modalities including Transpersonal, Gestalt and
Psychodynamic
psychotherapy.
Are you finding yourself unsatisfied with where you are at in life? Are there patterns in your emotions, relationships, behaviors and substance use that you would like to change and move past? Maybe there are specific issues you are hoping to address, and maybe your entire life feels very off from where you would like it to be and you’re not sure where to start. Either way you’ve taken a very important step by starting to look for help.

I’m a therapist, cancer survivor, and former tech industry executive. My practice focuses on adults, couples, and teens. In working with me, you’ll experience a mix of warmth, depth, challenge, and, most of all, dedication to the healing and growth you're seeking. My integrative approach balances relational
psychodynamic
therapy, solution focus, somatics (Mind-body), and mindfulness. Our work together might include demystifying difficult emotions, processing trauma, improving self-esteem, coping with change, strengthening relationships, increasing motivation, or exploring the many layers of health challenges.
Heather Burns
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
My work draws on relational,
psychodynamic
, somatic and mindfulness practices to support shorter term work (6 months to 2 years) involving problem exploration, healthy paradigm shift and skills integration, or longer term work for deeper understanding, greater stability and lasting change.
It's hard to go it alone with painful feelings of confusion, guilt, sadness, anxiety or despair. I help you access and unravel internal knots related to work or school performance, conflictual relationships, gender and sexuality, addictive behaviors, struggles with self-care and body image, or a family history troubled by dysfunction, divorce, addiction, mental illness, abuse, unresolved conflict or estrangement from loved ones.

My practice focuses on issues of self-esteem, relational intimacy, shame, personality disturbances, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I work relationally and dynamically with a present-centered approach on issues as they are currently manifesting but with an eye to how they reflect deeper structures of clients' personalities and values. Therapy is not focused on fixing things, but on relaxing patterns of thinking, building resilience, and being able to be more creative and trusting of oneself and others.

Life comes with stresses, it’s a way of life. It’s normal, and it happens to all of us in some way or another. For some, what appears as normalcy is no longer working for them, and that may bring about symptoms with your mind and body that feel uncomfortable. Things we call anxiety, fear, or depression – or cause us to lose connection with family, friends, community, life, ourselves – or just a downright feeling that something isn’t right in our lives. I, too, have had these experiences, which have also brought me to make choices that were not the best for me or others.

My psychotherapy (UC Berkeley, Oakland VA, and Stanford U) is a blend of evidence based traditions --
Psychodynamic
, CBT, ACT, MBSR, DBT, Couple's Collaborative Therapy (Dan Wile), and Structural Family Therapy.
My time is split equally between two offices -- Rockridge and Palo Alto. I help couples, families, individual adults and teens face a wide range of challenges, including healing from early life trauma (all severities, including Dissociative Identity Disorder), Bipolar Disorder, personality disorders, personal and professional transitions, relationship and family struggles, dilemmas of faith and fulfillment, and meditation and mindfulness cultivation. I especially enjoy psychotherapy involving collaborations with other therapists and/or blending meditation and other kinds of spiritual practices with psychotherapy. I value diversity -- my clients come from a wide range of orientations, economic means, and cultural backgrounds.

Lindsay Small
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
Verified
My approach to psychotherapy is integrative and holistic, rooted in a
psychodynamic
and family systems foundation.
We all have a need to connect and feel understood. When we are struggling to cope with life’s challenges, we may need more support than friends and family can provide. Whether you are struggling with addiction, in the midst of grief and loss, or at a crossroad in your life and want to get in touch with parts of you that feel lost, you do not have to face it alone. You may feel like something is wrong but don’t know what it is and need help figuring it out. Maybe you need support in exploring your sexuality or gender and navigating issues specific to the LGBTQ experience. Whatever got you here, we can find solutions together.
Amynta Hayenga
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I work from a
psychodynamic
approach, while incorporating tools from ACT, CBT, DBT, and MBSR - but don't worry if that's alphabet soup to you.
You may feel lost, but you are not alone. We all experience suffering as a part of the human condition, yet sometimes our symptoms of stress, despair, worry, or self-criticism stand in the way of living the life that we want. If you find yourself troubled by a particular life problem or psychological condition, or generally lacking a sense of vitality and purpose, working with a clinician can help you reconnect with yourself and your strengths. Therapy often helps us to make useful connections between our actions, our thinking, our emotional reality, and patterns in relationships that we have developed over years.
Christine Olney
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
As appropriate, I will also use
psychodynamic
as well as psychoanalytic techniques.
When looking for a therapist, it's important that we find someone who we believe can help us. We need someone we feel comfortable with, and someone we can trust. When I work with my clients within this framework and with these foundations, they are able to set and reach goals to fulfill dreams and to find their meaning and purpose in life. In my practice I work with clients struggling with mood disorders, substance abuse, personality disorders, and relationship problems. I have worked with all age ranges of clients from 4 years old to 84 years old.
Robin B Brooks
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Informed by a background in humanistic psychology, contemporary psychoanalysis, and
psychodynamic
psychotherapy, I use empathic connection, compassionate inquiry, and engaged dialogue to uncover the root causes of emotional suffering and psycho-spiritual distress.
Life is hard. Therapy can help. I work exclusively over the phone and provide no-cost, telemental health counseling and psychotherapy to people on Medicare. Whether you need help navigating a short term crisis, or you want to take a deep dive into existential questions about the meaning of life, teletherapy can help. While video therapy can be stressful and distracting at times, conversations over the phone are usually more grounded and internally focused.
Terry S Gock
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I use an integrative, strength-based therapeutic approach that includes, among others, relational,
psychodynamic
, mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral treatment modalities.
Whether you are grappling with challenges in your life or seeking to enhance your psychological well-being, having the support and guidance of a therapist can often be helpful.

Teletherapy
Teletherapy and Online counseling have grown enormously as a medium for therapy since the advent of social distancing. Most therapists are happy to provide sessions by video or phone.
All professionals are licensed to provide video therapy to clients within the State in which they hold their license. Cross State licensing exists, but is rare.
So if you're a client in California, this list of teletherapists are licensed to provide therapy to you online (by phone, video or text based chat) because they are within your state. They are sorted nearest to furthest, with professionals in California listed first.
Teletherapy via phone or video can be very similar to conventional in person sessions. The message is the same, even if the medium is different. There are some advantages in the form of convenience, lack of travel and being in comfort of your own home. Set against those, professionals find it more difficult to read non-verbal signals of their clients, and you may find you yourself can be more easily distracted.
