Hello all, I am an African-American marriage and family therapist who provides services in the Bay Area & So. Cal. I specialize in somatic therapy modalities that work well with individuals or couples who have experienced any trauma whether acute or developmental. I also work with client's experiencing grief, depression, and relational issues. My clients' find me easy to talk to and non-judgmental, this coupled with my life experience, creates a safe environment for healing to happen.

Behind each difficult emotion or experience, lies a valuable lesson about who we are. To get through life and its obstacles we need connection, compassion and acceptance. In the therapeutic space, I offer a non judgmental look into how you came to be, so that feelings can be felt and not shut out. By inviting these feelings in and processing them together, we challenge our avoidance/fear so you be seen right where you are at. This compassionate approach rebuilds the relationship with yourself and gets to the root of change. Change does not come from saying "this is where I want to be and I'm not there now."

Life, especially nowadays, comes with a lot of unparalleled challenges, and I hope to provide support and compassion to encourage my clients to feel safe in expressing their current thoughts and feelings about their unique life circumstances. I aim to help my clients make more more satisfying life choices through increased insight into how their mind works. This will in turn help my clients better tackle life's challenges, especially surrounding life transitions, relationships, and family issues.

If we are lucky in this life we will experience many inner deaths, each an opportunity to shed parts of self, to embrace our own expansion, and enter the next dimension of life. If we fail to die, we fail to grow. We have lost the ritual container that holds our rites of passage and without the containment and guidance that goes with it many of us feel lost, hopeless, deficient in some way and without a sense of belonging. Therapy in the depth tradition has become a space to compassionately witness and accompany individuals in the alchemical process of healing and growth.

Many of us struggle with issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, social isolation, fear, grief, loss, trauma, relationship difficulties, or we just feel generally overwhelmed with life. You don't have to be alone with these struggles. Psychotherapy is an empowering tool that helps you to better understand yourself and the obstacles that are preventing change. I have worked with clients from various backgrounds in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status & political affiliations. My mission is to help you to improve your life skills and to progress from the difficult experiences that you've had.

Navigating your 20s and 30s can often feel anxiety-provoking, overwhelming, and lonely. It’s understandable that juggling relationships, work, family, and a social life may leave you feeling depressed, anxious, and burnt out. I work with young adults who are navigating this challenging phase of life and are looking to improve their important relationships, reduce levels of stress, and heal from past painful experiences. Working together collaboratively, we will focus on helping you understand what you need in relationships, identify how to best take care of yourself through your stressors, and live in alignment with your key values.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly a decade of experience in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, and depression. My approach to therapy is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore and understand your struggles and to help you obtain the tools to be more effective in achieving the life you want. In addition to private practice, I have worked as the Team Lead on the women’s unit of a mental health residential rehabilitation treatment program and currently work in a medical center’s outpatient mental health clinic, where I provide psychotherapy and supervise trainees.

On the surface, life seems to be going smoothly. On the inside, it's a different story. Anxiety, depression, and stress quietly chip away at your well-being and relationships. What once proved effective might now fall short as circumstances shift, and your life and goals evolve. Perhaps you're mid-career, grappling with the elusive balance between personal and professional life. Maybe you've ticked off the milestones on your "roadmap to success" yet yearn for more depth and meaning. If this narrative resonates with you, and you're here in search of a solution, welcome and congratulations on taking this pivotal first step!

I offer compassionate psychotherapy to adults, teens, and couples. Ongoing therapy can provide relief, clarity, and greater sense of possibility. I collaborate with clients to discover meaning within their experience and connect with healing and awareness.

Hello my name is Dr. Anais Munoz Kelly. People come to therapy for many reasons. You might have gone through something painful recently or perhaps you feel numb and don't know why.

Together we can sort this out and find new options. One helpful aspect about therapy is finding compassion for yourself and others.
