Therapists in San Rafael, CA

With a firm belief in the transformative power of self-discovery, I specialize in working with emerging adults/college age individuals as well as women and their unique challenges and opportunities faced at different stages of life. My focus is helping my younger clients build inner strength, explore their identities, establish independence, and navigate important life decisions. I also support women related to their career, relationships, health, and personal fulfillment, while also empowering them to embrace their wisdom and strengths.

Are you rocking that 'got-it-together' facade, but deep down you're really falling apart? You're not alone. Life's throwing punches, and the struggle is real. You're seeking direction and clarity, but you feel stuck, caught in self-doubt, and trapped in "stay or leave" dilemmas. The uncertainty is unsettling and you start questioning everything about your relationship…and yourself. Whether it's your marriage, career, or the sheer weight of everything around you—I get it. It's like having a hundred tabs open in your mind at once, making it hard to think straight and perform as you envision. You're exhausted. It's time for a change.

Two Chairs was founded in 2017 with a mission to build a world where everyone has access to exceptional mental healthcare. We're creating a better experience for both patients and clinicians by starting with an in-depth, research-backed matching process to ensure the ideal patient-therapist fit, offering hybrid care that gives patients and clinicians flexibility between in-person and virtual sessions, and measuring outcomes to ensure patients get better faster.

I will challenge you with questions and give you homework to help you succeed. I work in the present and do not believe it is productive to spend years talking about the past. You will sense my passion for my work and will feel seen and heard.

If you are reading this, then chances are you are looking to give either yourself and/or a loved one the opportunity to make important life changes. Everyone experiences situations that they need support with. Often, the most beneficial choice one can make is to seek objective guidance. You are the expert of your own life experience. My role is to help you explore this knowledge in a way that brings clarity and fulfillment. My name is Megan Rose and a particular area of specialty and interest is working with adults, couples and families who are wrestling with life transitions and relationship challenges.

Many relationships have faced challenges over the past few years. You might be feeling stuck, or struggling to resolve differences with your partner. As a certified AASECT sex therapist & long time couples counselor, I help identify& understand what lies beneath these stuck places, building true relational safety. Using easy to implement tools for healthy communication, I help couples negotiate desire discrepancy, find creative solutions for low-sexual marriages, and navigate the impact of extra-marital relationships: including infidelity repair, polyamory, & consensual non-monogamy. I am kink aware & LGBTQ+ friendly.

My approach is to provide empathic, warm, and collaborative care. My goal is to meet you where you are. I want to understand your struggles as best I can, so we can start to navigate the path forward. I will listen openly and without judgment. I will provide a safe space for holding wherever you may be at this time. For some I may mostly be listening, for others I may offer creative problem solving approaches. We will work together to create a balance that is right for you. This is your journey. I am here to help.

I primarily work from a client-centered approach and, when appropriate, will utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy perspectives and tools to assist and re-direct patients towards their goals.

My name is Lynne Joachim and I'm a licensed Psychotherapist and have been seeing people of all ages for 30 years.

I was trained in Psychodynamic, insight-oriented therapy and am well versed in many different approaches to understanding the life span: adult development, the psychology of women, adolescents, couples therapy, and group therapy/support groups.
