Therapists in Corte Madera, CA

Are you coming to therapy because you're feeling upset with an important person in your life? I love to work with individuals and couples who want to learn how to make their relationships work at the happiest and highest level. Many people have never had any training in communication, couples values clarification, listening, conflict resolution, parenting, negotiation, family finances or designing their relationship. The most emotionally and fear producing issues which bring people to a therapist are infidelity, substance abuse, violence, burnout, grief and loss, an illness or death in the family and major life transitions.

I am a Licensed Marriage and family therapist who is committed to helping my clients navigate the issues arising in their lives through the use of therapy. I have nearly 20 years of experience and in my career, I have treated many types of disorders and about 60% of my career has been working with families and children. I feel comfortable treating most challenges from depression, anxiety, depression, bipolar, to psychotic disorders.

I believe everything has meaning, even pain. Oftentimes, the function of such suffering feels unclear or arbitrary. My approach to the work seeks to understand the motives and desires (both conscious and unconscious) that are maintaining painful patterns that feel hard to break. Through embarking on this journey together, it becomes easier to face uncomfortable truths that have stifled your growth in some way while gaining new tools for deeper fulfillment. I hope to provide an opportunity to increase insight while relating to yourself and others in a new way that allows for more authenticity, playfulness and connection in your life.

My name is Sandra Block, Ph.D. and I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Southern California providing in-office and online psychotherapy for children, adolescents, families, couples, and individuals (18-99 years of age) for over 30 years. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues at home and at work, gambling addiction, parenting issues, family/generational conflicts, grief, aging issues, and ongoing stresses of chronic illness.

I'm Dr. Kym Codallos, a licensed clinical social worker in California, Arizona, Wyoming, and Colorado. I believe in treating the whole individual or family system. My approaches are eclectic and uniquely tailored to the needs of the individual or family system. I believe that we all have strengths that we are able to use to get us through the most difficult of situations. I come from a strengths-based perspective and approach to working with clients. I am kind, and compassionate but won't be afraid, to be honest with you. My clients find me to be warm and friendly.

I treat adults as well as adolescents and children, most frequently through individual therapy. I also work with couples. I work with people with a wide range of problems and especially enjoy working with people experiencing anxiety in relationships or at work . I also enjoy working with people who are unhappy and don't know why, and people who are repeating self-defeating patterns they feel unable to change. Meeting with a well-trained and experienced therapist can be a powerful and effective way of strengthening one's confidence and developing a personal sense of control over one's life.

I love doing therapy and have been in private practice over 30 years around the Bay Area. I work mostly with adolescents, adults, couples and families. Helping people take the reins of their lives, speak up, and break out of limiting frameworks is tremendously fulfilling. I tell clients, "my job is to work myself out of a job" by teaching them necessary tools that will serve them after graduating from therapy.
