Teletherapy in CA and AZ. Are you struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss or postpartum adjustment? Is your motherhood journey not what you expected? Do you feel stressed, inadequate, depressed or anxious? I can help. I am a San Francisco based licensed clinical psychologist and Perinatal Mental Health Certified specialist (PMH-C) with over 20 years experience providing psychotherapy to women, moms, and moms-to-be. As a married mother of 2 teens and a psychologist, I understand the issues women face in their relationships, identity, hormonal changes, parenting, expectations, relationships, work/life balance and time.

I trust that people come to therapy seeking a more authentic happiness; and I work as best as I can to help clients let go of concepts and mistaken views of themselves that have led to more pain and confusion. I work with individuals, couples, children and families, bringing warmth and understanding to the relationships and life problems that surround us. Sometimes the first call is the most difficult. I am often available to speak briefly or will return your call as soon as possible, making the next steps and new perspectives possible.

My name is Anna Chau and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am one of the few sex-positive, BDSM, kink-friendly Asian therapists in the Bay Area. Throughout my career as a therapist, I have been working with various communities throughout the Bay Area delivering an array of mental health services and workshops. I believe that everyone has the capacity to experience pleasure, joy, and an overall sense of freedom throughout their lives. My practice allows me to provide a safe space for individuals and couples to talk about family systems, attachment styles, intimacy, identity, and sexuality in a supportive space.

These are really tough times, aren't they? Existing issues feel bigger and it can be that much harder to cope. Therapy can heIp. I approach therapy in a warm and collaborative manner to help teens, adults, couples, and families identify new and adaptive ways to deal with life's challenges. In couples therapy, I use Emotion-Focused and Gottman approaches to help partners learn to manage and repair conflict, rebuild trust and intimacy, and build emotional connections. In family treatment, I'll work with your family to develop adaptive and healthy communication patterns, as well as address parenting concerns and behavioral issues.

** Currently only accepting clients to the "Resilience for the Fertility Journey" group. ** Bloom Therapy specializes in women's mental health across the lifespan (ages 18-65+). Women face unique stressors in their relationships and career, and experience anxiety, depression, and traumatic stress at twice the rate of men. I offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach to address these challenges and help you reach your goals. My work focuses on building strengths, enhancing self-confidence, and empowering you with knowledge and tools so that you can thrive in your relationships, work, and life.

I am a culturally sensitive psychologist in San Francisco, who will create a safe space that distinctively fits your needs to help on your journey toward healing and growth. I understand we often find ourselves feeling lost, overwhelmed, abandoned, or may be at a loss of how we feel, because we’ve arrived at that familiar place of despair and ruminating self doubt. My hope is to provide an opportunity to disentangle from suffering, which may lead to improved quality of life, greater satisfaction within relationships, increased productivity, and enhanced self-worth and compassion.

Depressed? Anxious? Feeling stuck or unhappy? Effective therapy can be a powerful catalyst for developing a pathway through your present difficulties and offer you an opportunity for a better life. In my work, I had the privilege of assisting diverse individuals, including professionals, artists and creatives, and those facing life transitions or coping with medical illness. I treat a variety of issues, including protracted diagnosable conditions. I work with individuals and couples in brief or in longer-term treatment. I also teach graduate students and offer consultation and supervision.

Is motherhood not what you thought it would be? Are you struggling with balancing your career with being a parent? Surprised at how hard this new role is? I'm here to help. Together, we'll find new ways for you to cope, stress less and most of all: find your new self. Parenthood is a wild ride, but with the right support, you can feel better!

Are you deciding to try therapy for the first time, or considering a return to this work in a new phase of life? This leap, whether for you, or for your relationship, can be incredibly vulnerable. Healing + change require personal commitment, and trust in the therapist you choose to guide you through the process of re-patterning. The Individual Therapy, Couples Therapy, and Integrative Coaching I provide is insightful, proactive, and inspirational. I will support you to more fully connect with yourself, and more deeply in your relationships. When you are grounded, and your relationships are solid, your work in the world will be meaningful.

I believe habitual thoughts and feelings that contribute to depression, anxiety and trauma can be changed. I work to understand your experience, it's connection and contribution to where you are now, and then we focus on shifting the emotional clutter that impacts relationships with partners, with friends, and work.

Do you feel like you're not living your life to its fullest? The decision to seek therapy often comes after a painful process of self-evaluation. The realization that your life may be lacking in vitality can be upsetting but may provide the opening for something new and more hopeful to emerge. I believe that when we choose to experience our suffering willingly and openly, we create the opportunity for personal transformation. I can facilitate this process of change to help you find greater meaning in your life.

It can feel intimidating to seek therapy — like embarking on a path into the deepest woods. Psychotherapy can be likened to traveling through these woods alongside someone trained and experienced in navigating the wilderness. Undertaking the path together, it becomes more possible to move bravely into the dark, scale the hills, descend the slopes, become curious about the landscape, and explore uncharted terrain.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, whether they are simply looking to improve a part of themselves or have hit a major "bump" in the road. I actively assist clients who are struggling with relationship-based problems, and I have received advanced training in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) for couples, ETT (Emotional Transformation Therapy), and NET (Neuro Emotional Technique). In addition to my licensure as a Marriage & Family Therapist, I am a Certified Sexual Assault Counselor, Certified Trauma Response Specialist, Board Certified Expert in Traumatic Stress (BCETS), and Board Certified in Bereavement Trauma (BCBT).

I am a non-judgmental compassionate licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience working with children, families, teens, and adults. I am sensitive to cultural, multiethnic, and racial issues. I have experience with conflict resolution, crisis intervention, and crisis de-escalation.

My goal is to create an empowering space to draw from your strengths in overcoming current challenges. I work collaboratively with clients to establish ongoing, flexible goals for therapy to make our sessions most effective. I individualize therapy to each person using a range of techniques and approaches. I am particularly interested in the stories we tell about our lives and the meaning we make of them. My clients describe me as warm, positive, and insightful.

Dear Reader: kudos to you for taking time to see if a new experience in therapy might make a difference in your life and/or the lives of your loved ones. The metaphoric journey you are embarking upon has the potential for facing dark corners in hopes of lasting positive change. I deeply appreciate the opportunity to walk with my clients on their journeys; I've seen great healing and growth amidst the challenges human life brings. I invite you to carry onwards to find a clinician who might help you on your way.

I strive to help people become their own authority, which may have been compromised by unhealthy relationships, substance abuse, depression, and anxiety. I focus on the individual's relationship with themselves, fostering an understanding and compassion towards personal strengths and vulnerabilities. I believe it is imperative to address underlying issues with out judgment or shame, so that we can heal parts of the self that are no longer serving us. My clinical training is in psychodynamic therapy, and I tend to gravitate towards an attachment based and humanistic approach.

You may be feeling stuck, hopeless, defeated. You may be questioning your purpose and the path you've been on. You may be having difficulty with relationships. You may just want to scream because this is hard, this is really hard. While we are all facing a global pandemic, I believe each individual and circumstance is different, and as such, take great care in my assessments to get to know you. Along the journey we will discover marked paths and reveal new insights. My approach is collaborative and dynamic. My approach with children is play-based and interactive, relying heavily on ongoing assessments.

My background is in Health Psychology and I bring a Mind-Body perspective to my work. With any change comes growing pains, which is why I specialize in working with professionals navigating important life transitions including career decisions, romantic relationships, friendships, and adjustment to parenthood. Often individuals present questions on how they can feel more fulfilled or satisfied in life. Or how to grow in confidence, or become more grounded in oneself. Many look to find better ways to find meaning and fulfillment in our Modern, Technology-Focused culture.
