MHNet Behavioral Health Therapists in 94566

Greetings. My name's Paul Surace, and I'd been working as a full-time Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with Kaiser Permanente's Behavioral Health program for the past 15 years. I tend to be a "straight shooter" -who is both goal oriented and solution focused with my patients, but very much collaborative in helping patients to decide what is their priority goals and discovering how my patients would like to accomplish these goals.

Are you overwhelmed, anxious, sad, or feel like you're not sure how to navigate a new territory of your life? Do you need help setting healthy boundaries or coping with stress and anxiety? Or perhaps a past trauma is beginning to surface? I genuinely believe our darkest wounds lose power, and we begin to heal when we shed light on them. My goal is to provide support and insight to help you identify your strengths and get your life back on track with appropriate coping strategies and perhaps new boundaries.
