Therapists in Los Altos, CA

Are you struggling emotionally during the process of trying to build your family? Has the experience of trying to get pregnant, stay pregnant, and become a parent been much harder or more complicated than you expected? This is so common, and so difficult to talk about. The grief, loss, frustration, anger, and deep sadness can be hard to navigate. I can help. Sometimes life is hard for reasons we can't identify, or we can identify but don't know how to change. If you are feeling anxious, depressed, or struggling to adjust to changes in your life, let's work together to find a way back to balance and peace.

Do you want to be happier and feel less anxiety and have more clarity. We all get challenged by accepting where we are with our problems. It's hard to be mindful about facing our issues. I can help you embrace that part that you are running from & if you can practice tools--you can start living the Way of Positive Psychology and you will heal & start to feel better. You really can do this. You really can heal. I haven't always felt as Anchored & Happy as I am now--for 25 years-I studied practiced & would be honored to teach you.

Becoming a mother, whether for the first time or again, can be a difficult change that can often lead to unwanted anxious thoughts, depression, and self-doubt. You may worry about getting it “right” or feel overwhelmed. Before you were a mother, you had another identity and may be trying to get back to yourself. Some moms struggle to bond with baby, but you can learn to nurture a trusting attachment. Becoming pregnant and giving birth can be a powerful experience and you may want to feel more prepared or process a traumatic birth. You deserve support and skills to ease the unique challenges and vulnerable moments in this journey.

Most people who reach out to me feel like there's some sort of a gap between what they want and what they have. This gap is uncomfortable, upsetting, or might be painful. And often it's unclear why this gap exists or what can be done to close it or at least narrow it down a bit. Each one of us has a set of life circumstances that need to be taken into account when attempting to improve on our lived-experience. Psychotherapy is the arena in which those personal circumstances, individual preferences, needs, wants, and struggles can be explored.

Has talk therapy not helped you achieve the results you’re wanting? Are you tired of feeling anxious, inadequate, or stuck? Do you tend to beat yourself up with self-criticism? I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in the treatment of various anxiety problems (including perfectionism, shyness/social anxiety, panic, imposter syndrome, health anxiety), relationship issues, depression, low self-esteem, insomnia, anxiety during pregnancy, & more. I help you get fast results by learning practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, overcome your fears, gain acceptance, and feel more authentically connected to others.

Hi there! My name is Shari Balbien, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with children as young as five years of age, adolescents, families, and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, as well as issues related to trauma, self-esteem, and grief. I have found that my style and approach are a good match for young children, families, and couples, who may be dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and communication issues.

You are highly anxious and confused as to how you got here. Although you're highly motivated and seem to have it together, inside, you're just falling apart. Whether it be life transitions, unresolved trauma, struggling post narcissistic abuse or you just need something different, you know it's time to get better.

Difficult feelings can be a gateway for personal growth. I work with many individuals struggling with depression and anxiety, trauma, problems in relationships, stress management, and life transitions. My approach is to help you explore those difficult thoughts, feelings, and past experiences which prevent you from being comfortable with who you would like to be, what you want in your life, and the kinds of relationships that you want to have with others.

Just like life, therapy is both an adventure and a risk. As a therapist, I encourage you to focus on the concept of choice. Our lives are constantly filled with the need to make choices. Should you be in a relationship or leave one? Is your current job the right one for you? Can you learn how to accept and express your needs? Choosing a therapist can be very confusing, but choosing the right therapist can be crucial to living a happy and fulfilling life. I specialize in helping you develop tools for managing depression and anxiety as well strengthen your ability to communicate and experience a more fulfilling life.

I am an associate marriage and family therapist working with kids, teens, and adults. I help clients with trauma and complex trauma, ADHD, anxiety, identity issues, emotional instability and eating disorders. Additionally, I enjoy working with highly sensitive and neurodivergent kids and teens going through relational, personal and academic challenges.

I believe in the innate power of human beings to heal & grow. You don't have to live with the pain of old experiences weighing you down or keeping you stuck; healing is possible & within reach. Are you struggling in relationships or at work? Are you trying to be the person, parent, or partner you want to be, but missing the mark?

Counseling can help you find freedom & clarity and let go of what's holding you back. I'm certified in EMDR & can offer this modality for healing in addition to traditional talk therapy.
