Couples Counseling Therapists in 95030

Life can be challenging sometimes ... especially for those of us in the Bay Area. On the surface, everything seems great. Yet, many of us are stressed, overwhelmed, and irritable. This often comes from a deep sense of feeling unfulfilled, empty, helpless, and unsatisfied. As a result, our relationships may suffer and our jobs as parents can become especially difficult. That's where I come in. -- My passion is helping you understand what's holding you back ... and developing ways to help you live a more fulfilled, balanced, and harmonious life.

Our experiences form an unconscious ‘blueprint’, which shapes our beliefs and aspirations, but also the fears and challenges we face. Gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns that run your life allows you the freedom to make new choices and respond differently, transforming your relationships with yourself and others. In our work together, I will support you on your journey towards self-awareness that can lead to a profound change. My therapeutic approach is warm, direct and authentic. I believe feeling safe, accepted and heard are all critical elements for therapy to succeed.

Frustrated by your relationships or feeling like you live life on everyone else's terms but your own? I am a warm, interactive partner in solution-focused conversation cradled with a sense of deep optimism which comes from both my professional training and from being a fellow traveler in negotiating life's challenges. I quickly assess what my clients needs are and provide concrete understanding, tools, skills, and solutions for their circumstances. I help you build inner resilience and self-esteem in the same way you boost your immune system when you feel worn down.

Challenging situations can be nudges for you to take time and look inside to recognize them as opportunities to heal, grow, and to make changes needed to break free from feeling stuck, lead a more satisfying life, heal relationships, and bring you back to feeling like yourself again. Whether you're having some 'difficult to feel' or painful emotions, childhood trauma, feeling stuck in a relationship, going through a life transition, or just the uncertainty and stress of the world, therapy can be a wonderful place to begin to take time for yourself.

My approach is that I believe that deep down everybody has the answers to their problems. I feel that with unconditional positive regard, non judgment, and a place to be really heard, that most people will speak their truth and find the answers they are looking for. I enjoy working with families, couples, individuals, and teens.

Let's work together to solve the problems impacting your life and create a more balanced lifestyle that will open new opportunities for you to thrive. I am confident that we will make a strong connection and forge a therapeutic relationship that can change your life. Through a collaborative process, we can work the problem together and seek new horizons. Take the next step to make change become a reality by calling me for a free phone consultation. There is nothing standing in your way.

Have you spent time trying to claw your way out of a deep, dark cave of depression? Unhappiness feels scary, unfair and even shameful. We are here to help you identify patterns & behaviors you can change to realize true happiness and make the most of yourself. You will learn to recognize and accept your emotions as separate from who you are. We will identify current and past relationships that may be impacting how you experience life and work to improve your understanding of these relationships and communication to continue developing new and better connections. The most important relationship is your relationship with yourself!

As your therapist, my first offering would be creating a safe environment for you, whereby you know that you are being heard, respected, and validated. I respect and honor your wish to find someone to work with; a traveling companion for the road you are on.  I know this first step is a hard one.  I’ve been in your shoes too. Here is what I have learned: connection matters. Feelings matter. Knowing, that someone sees how hard it can be, matters. And yes, expertise matters. If you’ve gotten this far then you are likely wondering- could this person possibly be my/our therapist? Will she understand me/us? Will she care? Can she help?

If you struggle with low self worth, setting boundaries, losing yourself in your relationships, feeling over stimulated and overwhelmed by life, lack of self and intuitive and body connection, we might be a particularly aligned fit to work together. If you are struggling in your relationship with food and/or body image I can offer you support and hope for healing. I am an attachment-oriented therapist when it comes to supporting the parent/child relationship. I believe that when working with children and youth it is vitally important to work congruently with parents and caregivers as well.

If you are stuck, thinking the same thoughts over and over, lying awake, unable to turn off your brain - we need to talk! I can help you climb out of your rut, and consider the alternatives. Drawing on several therapeutic modalities, I customize a treatment strategy best suited to your problem, temperament, and personal strengths. With a practice in Los Gatos, I have developed a number of specialties, relevant to the Silicon Valley high-tech, high-achievement, high-pressure environment: anxiety; life-work balance; obesity; chronic pain management; mood disorders; workplace conflict; relationship issues; and coping skills.

My name is Dr. Adi. I specialize in helping adults and teens who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, as well as those experiencing grief, existential crises, and relationship issues. I offer a personalized and safe space for individuals and couples to explore these complex emotions and experiences, guiding them towards healing and growth and respecting their identity and experiences. I work with individuals that are motivated to achieve greater well-being and resilience.

Would you like to improve your relationship by strengthening communication, dealing with conflict effectively, reviving intimacy, or balancing family/work demands? Do you want to get beyond feeling stuck in self-sabotaging and self-destructive habits? Are you tired of dealing with the emotional and physical effects of anxiety? As a specialist in couples therapy and anxiety treatment for adults, I work with people to explore unproductive patterns and develop more useful alternatives for healthier relationships and satisfying lives.

My aim is to assist clients in being happier, healthier, and stronger as they encounter the hurdles that the different phases of life can bring. Whether those hurdles are internal, interpersonal or professional, most clients walk out of sessions feeling understood, really seen, smarter about themselves and their situation, and with real tools to positively affect their lives. Often interpersonal relationships prove the most challenging over time, triggering defensive/protective reactions that usually make things worse. Working in these arenas can bring valuable awareness, and offer pathways to challenge and change perspectives.

I believe everyone deserves some time to sit down with a strong listener and/or problem solver about their life. The feedback that I receive is, that I empathize & mirror the key issues quickly and help you brainstorm. I then help you get at "reframing" the negative situations and help you motivate and prioritize what is needed to do to actually change. I can work well with all mood issues, chaos, panic, addictions affairs and all relationship issues. Every session you should walk away with substantial suggestions to help in different areas. I also work with work ADHD, parenting, and women with breast cancer.

Are you having the same painful arguments, again and again? Does it feel like nothing will ever change? I specialize in couples counseling, and in working with trauma. If things have gotten hard I can help. Let's talk.

My aim is to create a welcoming, non-judgmental space while offering evidence-based, short-term therapy for couples and individuals. This method explores root causes and empowers individuals with tangible tools to reach their goals. My approach is client centered, solution focused, and provides a direct, flexible, and practical path to change. I value your individual experience and regard it as a rich source of wisdom and insight, guiding services.

During this time of corona virus and shelter-in-place, it is common for people to struggle emotionally. Many of us feel distress with what is unknown; we are used to staying busy to avoid difficult feelings. Anxiety, depression, isolation, loneliness, relationship challenges, worries, fears, the inner critic, childhood memories, past failures, feeling helpless, among others, can all feel overwhelming. During this time our most vulnerable selves are exposed. What we often miss with a crisis, is the opportunity for growth that is possible. I am here to help you not only survive, but thrive.

My job is to help you address the persistent & difficult issues in your life, work and relationships in order to bring more ease and clarity. I am a strengths-based therapist who works with adults, teens (15+) & couples.

Have you been considering to seek help but you are scared and not sure what to expect from therapy? Are you uncertain how therapy would help you? Are you wondering if you could be in control of what and which direction would be the goal of your appointments? Are you afraid of being aware?
