I am passionate about working with individuals who are looking for both solutions and insight into their conflicts and struggles to help them achieve understanding and balance in their lives.

Hi, my name is Barbara Bachmeier-Levy and I am a seasoned licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health across all levels of care. My areas of focus include anxiety, chronic pain, grief, stress, and life-coaching for individuals. My clients have more often than not been motivated to engage in self-discovery, and often have some specific ideas about what they want to change, accomplish, or process. They enjoy a two-way engagement and quickly learn that I am a person that they can trust to share their personal journey with.

How would your life be different if you were more compassionate and accepting of yourself? Research shows a friendlier relationship with yourself is transformational. I specialize in all types of grief and loss as well as the symptoms that can continue after chronic stress in childhood. Sometimes therapy just needs to be simply a safe, private place to sort things out, talk through life decisions, and maybe learn new emotional or social skills to adjust your trajectory.

Have you lost someone you love? Maybe they passed away, or maybe they are still around, but the situation has changed. You might feel lost and confused, as though you are a stranger in your own life. Standing in the sun, you feel chilled and alone. Or you may feel relatively well, but deep down you know there is "a lot to process". You can stuff your feelings, but it won't be so simple to move on. You want to feel healthy, comfortable, to UNDERSTAND, and know that you can not only survive this experience but also transform it, transcend it, and make peace with your demons.

Hello All Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Karolin, but I’m known to many as “Kay” I am a Licensed clinical social worker With over 15 years of experience working with children, families, and adults.

My therapeutic approach supports a centering of the individual to draw upon their foundational ideas of self. We all experience times when we struggle to make sense of, cope with, and bring forward our best selves. I love helping clients unpack what is most challenging in their lives. Through our past exploration of built-upon themes and skills, a different sense of presence can feel more capable with additional ways of interacting to support your goals. My clients are high-functioning individuals and families who are dealing with grief, value/identity, trauma, challenging circumstances, relationship issues, and addiction.

People come to therapy for a wide range of issues that can result in feeling stuck, overwhelmed or dejected. I aim to create a safe and respectful environment so each of my clients feel well-supported during vulnerable times. My style is collaborative and active, fostering a connection to client's unique skills and purposes that might appear out of reach. My process encourages the discovery of practices that promote self-awareness, confidence and better relationships. Addressing the dynamics of power, privilege and injustice are an integral part of the healing process, and I am committed to being an ally to those I serve.

I'm a Licensed Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my Master's from the University of Southern California. I have provided mental health services for 16 years, helping clients with a wild range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, psychosis, grief/loss, chronic illness, postpartum, problematic relationships, behavioral issues, personality traits and life/career transitions in diverse populations of adults.

We all desire belonging and connection, but relationships can be hard! Many of us grow up without role models for the type of intimacy we desire. Whether working individually or with relationships, I hope to work as a guide and collaborator, assisting you in building stronger connections with yourself and those around you. Many of us move through life feeling stuck in roles we’ve been assigned and in stories that we’ve long outgrown. Our work in therapy is to shift your perspective, allowing for a much more nuanced, self-compassionate and true view of who you are and who you’d like to be.

Problems are problems, people are not problems. Thru 28 years of clinical practice, I've been privileged to companion many individuals & families facing cancer, chronic illness & distress (depression/anxiety). I provide empathy, compassion, insight & support. We stand up to problems together focusing on resilience, wellness, enhanced coping, reduced distress, and adjustment to loss & life transitions.

I offer companionship on one's quest for personal insight & renewal.

Many clients come to me depressed, grief stricken, or at a loss for where to proceed in their lives. Faulty thinking can block the ability to realize new options for thoughts and behaviors. Training, wisdom, and life experiences allow me to help guide my clients to their best therapeutic path, to personalize treatment, and to help them find their purpose. I work with trauma survivors, people with disabilities, life transitions, crises, hospice care, death, and chronic anxiety. I'm also trained to support artists through their creative struggles. That process provides them the foundation to strengthen them for any future challenges.
