Therapists in Lafayette, CA

Hello! I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist licensed in CA and FL. I have worked with youth and their families in school, private practice, and mental health settings for over a decade. I provide both psychological testing and therapeutic services. My therapy services include individual therapy with youth, and young adults, as well as parent coaching for families seeking support for their child’s behavior. My therapeutic interventions draw from neuroscience research, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and child-caregiver attachment.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, assistant professor, and scientist. In my private practice, I see teens, adults, couples, and families. I take a holistic, trauma-informed, culturally-sensitive, and evidence-based approach to psychotherapy. I also provide life coaching and executive consultation. After learning about your history, stressors, and sociocultural background, I will work closely with you to meet your goals, however big or small they may seem.

Seeking therapy usually stems from a desire to feel better and to explore what is going on in your life presently or to understand past experiences more fully. One of my favorite sayings is, “Finding the right therapist is an important first step towards your journey of healing and growth. My approach to therapy is client-centered and solution-based. My therapeutic approach is direct, active, empathetic, and non-judgmental and I tailor my work to the style, goals, and comfort level of each client. I draw upon complimentary therapeutic methodologies, including Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I'm passionate about exploring the intricate mind-body connection to facilitate your overall well-being. Embracing this synergy, I offer a comprehensive approach that addresses your mental, emotional, and physical health. My approach is centered on fostering harmony within yourself by addressing not just your thoughts and emotions, but also how they manifest in your body. Through this holistic lens, we work together to create personalized strategies that honor this mind-body connection, empowering you to achieve profound transformations.

Ease. Connection. Purpose. Joy. These are the birthright of every human. When they’re hard to find, therapy can help. I have seen again and again that even the deepest wounds and most entrenched stagnation can give way—with the right kinds of skilled support—to growth, transformation, and flourishing. Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, burnout, addiction, PTSD, relational conflict, self-doubt, or just want to live with more vitality and authenticity, I would be honored to accompany you in your journey. I particularly love assisting social justice leaders to embody the wellness they strive to make possible for others.

Are you in search of someone that is able to culturally-empathize, and have the capacity to meet you where you are in life? Often times we are unsure on next steps to take when dealing with life stressors. My core belief is that everyone possesses the resiliency needed to overcome such barriers. Face it we get in our own way sometimes! Individual therapy can help you face some of those conflicts head on. Whether it be professional, or personal struggles, it is my hope to assist you with identifying what's been holding you back. " Nothing you been through shall be wasted" T.J. Jakes

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) offering Teletherapy services only. My private practice provides individual therapy and couples counseling for people from various ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds and a wide variety of concerns. I offer therapy in English, Spanish and Portuguese. As an immigrant from Brasil, I also understand firsthand cross-cultural issues so I can help people who are having difficulties adapting to a new country.

At some point, we all struggle to adjust to change and fail to respond to life’s challenges with our best effort. It’s normal to feel stuck. We at Remarkable Services (RS) believe people inherently have what it takes within themselves to adjust, change and heal. No matter if it’s a challenging work situation, a parenting struggle, a tough year of high school or college, we all know what it feels like to struggle. Parents and their children are not immune, in that over the course of the first 18 years of life there are bound to be countless transitions, developments, change and of course, points of contention. RS is here to help!

Clients who see me often struggle with panic attacks, anxiety, and grief due to life changes such as a divorce, loss, or change. My clients tend to be adult women and children. My approach is collaborative, focused on individual needs, and drawing from a wide range of evidence-based practices to achieve effective results tailored to each client. Life sometimes presents challenges as we navigate personal identities, heal from past experiences, and manage external expectations. I am here to provide a safe and supportive environment for real-talk about transitions, anxiety, grief, and the journey of self-discovery and healing.
