Grief Therapists in Alameda County, CA

I am a psychologist and a certified Jungian analyst. I have been in private practice since 1979, initially as an MFT, then as a psychologist starting in 1989. I became certified as a Jungian analyst in 2010 after seven years of training at the C.G. Jung Institute in San Francisco. It is my privilege to work with many different people, those coping with uncertainties and ambiguities of life transitions, those who suffer a range of painful symptoms such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma, divorce, identity issues, spiritual crisis. I value depth, difference and relationship.

Hi there, I'm Marie, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I help people with issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, codependency, job stress, grief, coping skills, life transitions, and more. I favor using a family system and Rogerian approach along with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing. These focus on awareness of the whole - how everything connects within oneself, their family, community, and society in general. I focus on working with people who are ready to make positive changes, is open to introspection, and is motivated to risk healthier ways of being.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with an emphasis in Depth Psychology, and also a Core Faculty Professor in a PsyD Program, where I teach courses in the theory and practice of psychotherapy. As a depth psychologist, my focus is psychodynamic with a strong Psychoanalytic and Jungian influence. Depth Psychology takes special account of the way we relate to self and other and how certain relational patterns, put into place from childhood, impact our day-to-day experiences.

I specialize in supporting adolescents and adults facing Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Attachment Disorder, Life transitions, and Grief. I enjoy working with clients who are honest and open to being vulnerable and are motivated to make positive changes in their lives and I seek to support my clients in learning coping skills and setting goals to address the challenges they are facing in their lives.

Do you feel trapped by your past and anxious about your future, unable to live in the present? This malaise of modern living is often a sign of past trauma. I can help you uncover and release the experiences that keep you from living a full and zestful life. My primary focus is women and parents, particularly those with a history of trauma. We’ll explore the feelings that arise in your body, and notice their links to your thoughts and behaviors. I’ll empower you to choose a more positive narrative, to look at your life through a different lens.

Welcome! The focus of my practice is to work in partnership with my clients to help build resilience and facilitate positive change. Fostering kindness and compassion with a mindfulness based approach is at the heart of my work. I provide a safe and nurturing environment in which to explore options, and also offer the respect, understanding and empathy that encourages exploration and growth. As an experienced therapist, therapy can assist with clarifying, setting and maintaining your specific goals, as well as provide a space for self-exploration.I will be there to accompany and collaborate with you on your unique journey.

Do you feel depressed, anxious or emotionally stuck? Feeling lost or overwhelmed? Life is full of up and down, and a lot of us chose to hide true feeling and try to move on. However, like physical injury, emotional wound needs appropriate attention & treatment too. If you let me, I would appreciate this great opportunity to join you on your journey of feeling, healing and growing. As a licensed clinical social worker with 6 years’ experience in the field, I have worked passionately with individuals, families, adults, hospital patients and children to learn positive ways and skills to cope with many stressors in life.

A guiding theme for my work is meeting individuals where they are in life in order to understand the dynamics of their current situation or circumstance. Many of the people that I work with have been involved in the child welfare and or court systems, have experienced tragedy, trauma and experiencing grief, anxiety, or struggling with life stressors. I strive to support clients as they develop creative solutions and tools to improve their quality of life. I use a strengths-based and solution focused approach in working with clients, to identify their strengths, who they are and strategies they can use to be their best self.

I have worked both personally and professionally, with children, teens, families, adults, and those with terminal illnesses. I have facilitated group work focused around Dreams and community-integration, and have a specialization in Ketamine-Assisted Therapy as an adjunct to psychotherapy. While I work with a variety of demographics and backgrounds, I’ve found my work most focused around those suffering from eating disorders, addictions, women’s issues, terminal illness, grief and spiritual emergence. Those whose realities feel tenuous, who want to take back control of their life. Who they are, and who they hope to be.

We bring the entirety of ourselves everyday into the world not in separate parts. Some of these parts may include our past: traumas, conditioning, modeling, grief, anxiety, and maladaptive coping. These parts can show up in our personal, professional and romantic spaces inhibiting us actualizing our most authentic self. We can feel arrested by cycles, patterns or reactions to our past which can continue to resurface and wonder, “Why does this continue to happen to me?” If this sounds familiar and you would like to begin shifting these parts of yourself towards a more whole and authentic self - In.Sight is here to partner with you.

Are you struggling with behaviors that you know are not good for you? Are you worried and depressed about your life and your relationships? Let me help you sort out your thoughts and feelings and help you get back on track. I also love seeing couples and families. You may bring significant others to your therapy if you wish, to help focus you in your relationship goals.

As a developmental psychologist and depth counselor, I am best suited to working with people experiencing the trials and tribulations that accompany the major passages experienced throughout life. I am a warm and experienced counselor who works with people representing all ages and social identities. I work with individuals, couples and families, and have much experience working with addiction, depression, anxiety, anger, grief and forgiveness.

I work with people going through big changes who need support. Perhaps your relationship ended, you lost a loved one recently, or you feel very stuck in work or your relationship pattern. I have lived and worked in the East Bay since 2010. I have two children and I enjoy helping individuals who are navigating challenging stages of life with their family. Let's talk!

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you navigating increased stress or a new medical diagnosis? We will look to discover your strengths and make a personalized approach to facing life’s changes and challenges. My experience with adolescents, LGBTQ+ youth, and adults have supported coping with the impact of grief, loss, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My eight years of music therapy work includes facilitating group music making, listening to preferred or meaningful songs, music-assisted relaxation, and songwriting for families coping with chronic and terminal illness, children’s bereavement groups, and intergenerational support.

During challenging times, people often feel defeated and focus on what is wrong. I want to shift the focus from what is "not working" to identifying what is "working." We will work to uncover patterns (behavioral, thought beliefs, relationship), that will lead you to making better decisions. I want to offer a safe place to process thoughts and feelings around issues that can be challenging. I am interested in helping people who experience stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss and challenges with relationships (social or romantic). Many conversations are around “adulting” and how to manage life, career, relationships, etc.
