If you are a parent struggling with mood or sleep, trying to manage all the changes that come with the postpartum period, I am here for you.

I offer couples and individuals immediate insights, deeper clarity, and long-term improvement in an accepting and collaborative therapy environment. I'm a very experienced, analytical, and highly-trained psychotherapist (educated at UC Berkeley), yet I am practical, warm, and open. I work with people experiencing marital, parenting, career, spiritual, emotional, sexual, infertility, and addiction concerns; I'm expert at addressing those concerns. I enjoy working with couples and individuals who desire the help of a dedicated partner to more effectively navigate their relationships and lives.

My clients tend to be people who want to feel more in control of their emotions, more effective at getting what they want, less stuck, more flexible, more connected and really just more at peace. They seek relief from patterns - sometimes chronic and severe, sometimes only subtly troublesome - of painful emotions, negative self-talk and thoughts, rumination, relationship instability and self sabotaging behaviors. Many of my clients tend to have had very painful formative or recent experiences of invalidation that have been difficult or confusing. https://www.christinayoungtherapy.com/

I help individuals, couples, and families identify their goals, face their fears, and explore old patterns of behavior so they can make the desired changes in their lives that lead to more meaningful, happy futures as well as better relationships with themselves and others. I am interested in why we keep doing things that don't seem to work. My approach is both pragmatic and depth oriented and my style is collaborative.

I am a clinical counselor who focuses on Women’s Health, Substance Abuse, Anxiety, and Depression. I enjoy working with clients to find meaning in their experiences and take control of the narrative of their life, with the goal of minimizing suffering and moving toward greater happiness or contentment. Whether discussing difficult emotions related to women’s experience of pregnancy, relationships, or menopause; identifying possible approaches to achieve freedom from addiction; or relieving the pain of depression or anxiety, I aim to provide a safe and welcoming space for clients to freely express needs and concerns.

I'm Maia Newman, a seasoned licensed therapist working with individuals and couples determined to improve their lives. I can help you with all of your relationship concerns; from being single and seeking a relationship to adjusting from a divorce or the loss of a partner. If you are in a relationship I can assist you with keeping passion alive over time, improving communication, negotiating life transitions and role changes, aligning parenting, healing after an affair, or separating from your partner if that is the healthiest option. I have successfully helped many couples in times of crisis to stay together.

We collaborate together, targeting difficulties and utilizing personal strengths to support your vision and growth. Examples: parenting the child you have, changing repetitive, downward spirals in intimate relationships, taking on anxiety w/new strategies, setting boundaries and making connections, experimenting with new approaches to old problems. My approach is tailored to your needs, guided by my experience. Together we track progress. In practice since 1979, I see all ages and most problems. I enjoy long-term depth psychotherapy as well as short-term problem solving therapy. I work with parents, couples, families and individuals and consult for psychotherapists.

Often times children, adolescents and their family members may not know what they want or need.

Understanding the therapeutic alliance between client and therapist is key to exploring issues, I offer a genuine, empathic and nonjudgemental approach that helps clients feel at ease and safe to explore these issues.
