Eclectic Therapists in Haywood Park, San Mateo, CA

Hello and welcome! I primarily work with adults and teenagers struggling with trauma, depression, and anxiety. Often our inner beliefs have a huge impact on our lives, our sense of self, and our relationships. As your therapist, my main focus is to provide you a safe space that is free-from judgment and offers you a process-oriented approach to identify unconscious feelings and beliefs. I offer a genuine and understanding therapeutic relationship for you to feel held and seen, as we reflect together.

Are you or your teenager in need of support, understanding and new tools to facilitate life's demands and stress? My approach is to provide a supportive, encouraging and positive environment to offer alternative ways of coping. I work with clients using CBT and problem-solving techniques to reduce depression, anxiety, and relationship issues in a supportive and positive environment. My goal is to encourage personal growth by strengthening ones' ability to resolve problems, increase communication, manage mood and anxiety as well as increase self-esteem. My style is active, supportive, collaborative and compassionate.

Do you want to learn to live in the present with a sense of peace? I want to support you in developing more balance and insight in your life. My holistic approach to therapy will strive to bring you closer to the person you want to be. My mission is to support the well-being of the whole person, thoughts, feelings, behavior, body and spirit. My practice is created out of the desire to provide the highest quality behavioral health care, which promotes wellness and prevention along with treatment.

Therapy shouldn't have to be complicated or intimidating. What is most crucial-perhaps even more important than credentials or education-is that you feel comfortable with your therapist. I'm a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and have over 20 years experience working with individuals, couples, and adolescents.

As a licensed therapist in San Francisco Bay Area, I have 10+ years of experience helping professional women with chronic anxiety heal and transform their relationships with significant others & themselves. Helping females in modern society heal from the past, boost self-confidence & achieve healthy relationships is what I do best. If any of the following ever happened to you, chances are you might have suffered from troubled relationship(s): Confused about what healthy relationships look like; feeling insecure; losing sense of self; putting others before yourself and your self-care sucks; worried sick about what others think of you

The change process varies, based on every individual, as does our treatment. I use Psychodynamic techniques (how we’ve been raised to interact with the world and people around us, and which parts of that experience still help us and which parts do not), Behavioral techniques (finding new ways in our lives to incentivize us to move us in more positive directions), Relational approaches (helping us re-define who we want to be with the people in our lives most important to us), and Systems theory (understanding how our race, gender, culture and background have impacted our journey and will play a role moving forward as well).

Do you find yourself repeating unhealthy patterns? Or overwhelmed or immobilized by fears, despair, or changes beyond your control? excessively worried, irritable or on edge? spiraling downwards? feeling helpless and alone? You may have symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stress. They can impact your overall quality of life and your day-to-day functioning. They can also lead to misunderstandings in your relationships with loved ones at home, friends, or co-workers on the job. Fortunately, through psychotherapy, you can regain a sense of personal direction over your life, find new solutions, and feel good about your decisions.

I find joy in helping my clients gain self-acceptance, inner-strength, self-forgiveness, and a sense of hope. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children who are struggling with depression, anxiety, anger management, substance abuse, and life threatening illnesses as well as survivors of sexual assault. I have a special passion for working with survivors of trauma.

I believe that each client deserves to be respected and valued. I create a warm and caring environment where clients feel empowered to uncover old patterns, make changes when needed, and learn new coping skills to successfully meet the challenges of life's transitions. My aim is to increase self awareness and insight while offering support. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families, and I see adolescents and adults. I offer online services using a HIPPA compliant video platform. For more information, visit my website www.pamelalevymft.com.
