***I am unable to take new clients at this time.*** I serve parents and clients ages 0-26 (infants through young adulthood). I'm a human, imperfect parent myself, and I know just how hard the work of parenting is! I teach families to see and bring out the best in their children, and I teach children and young adults to find success even in the presence of difficulty and hardship.

I specialize in working with clients who want to resolve emotional, relational, or other phase of life changes. The way I do this is sharing therapeutic practices that serve to overcome emotional distress which, in turn, leads to unhealthy behaviors that interfere with current life goals and values. As we work together in a safe, non judgmental therapeutic relationship, negative thoughts and behaviors can be changed and replaced allowing clients to free themselves from discouragement, harmful attachments, fearful thoughts, excessive worry or feeling like they are losing control of their emotions and their lives.

Whether you are looking for a therapist because of recent difficulties or challenges that started years ago, you will find that I offer a rare combination of rigorous training with a down-to-earth style to help you achieve your goals.

If you have had difficulty connecting with past therapists or are concerned that I might act like therapists in the movies, I believe you will find my style refreshingly more relatable.

To put it simply, I love people. I work from a direct approach so my Ideal client includes those who are willing to do the work by actively participating in their personal growth as we combat the current challenges they may face. I believe in the mantra, "Two minds are greater than one." As a result, I advocate innovative ways starting where you are at for change in mind, body and spirit. I offer tools and modalities together with you toward gaining the necessary insight and increase awareness for change for health, well-being and happiness.

We can put an end to self-sabotaging behaviors such as drinking, drugs, overspending, or any other risky behaviors.

Damon Holzum, LCSW. I bring a fresh, passionate and compassionate approach to your concerns and engage with you as someone desiring a powerful, nurturing, and solutions focused experience. My focus is an integrative approach blending CBT, experiential, Gestalt, and narrative therapies to assist you and your significant other or family to thrive within your environment and understand your thoughts and feelings to be the best you.

I help people lead an examined life. Our difficulties come and go, but there's wisdom in using them to learn about ourselves more deeply. This allows us to navigate life's challenges with more grace, and less pain and a lot more humor. Therapy is a funny thing. It's two people, in a room, agreeing to focus on improving one of their lives. Sounds astoundingly simple. When it works, it can offer profound, lasting, and substantial changes in one's life and, in the best case, allow you to develop depth, wisdom, and clarity. I work with people in tech, and leaders, artists and seekers who are looking to lead a vital and integrated life.

I am a clinical psychologist who provides individual and family therapy for youth and adults, and parenting support. I have experience with mood disorders (depression, anxiety), trauma, managing learning challenges, adoption, grief, and loss. My approach varies, drawing from one’s strengths in helping address their unique struggles. I integrate socioeconomic, cultural, gender, and sexual identity issues into therapeutic work.

A person’s family history can shape our relationships with others in both resilient and challenging ways.

Once-upon-a-time none of us were parents and we didn't think much about how difficult that role could be. Fast forward to today and here you are searching for help with your child. Addictive technologies, teaching self-discipline, developing strategies for coping with change are challenging. Teaching life skills, and helping parents be more effective is what I've been doing since 1991. I'm what you might call a generalist in that I work with boys and girls of all ages and relate as easily to a six-year-old as to a sixteen-year-old.

I enjoy partnering with all ages, but especially with adolescents, young adults, adults and seniors going through significant life transitions and crises or who just generally feel stuck. Together, we’ll find clues in childhood, family patterns, memories, dreams and nightmares, negative thoughts, and hurtful relationships to alleviate anxiety, fear, depression, grief, and hopelessness. I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds and really resonate with artist, musicians, and other creative types.

The ideal client is one who is ready for change and open to healing. I work with individuals with a variety of mental health issues and help coach and guide utilizing Mindfulness-based practices to help decrease stress and promote happiness.

I am interested in knowing who you are, the parts of you that you like and know a lot about as well as the parts of you who you keep hidden and may know less about. I am interested in all of the experiences that have shaped and continue to shape you, including your many socio-cultural identities that surround and intersect with all of your life experiences. I am interested in thinking and feeling together with you in order to find new ways of being that lead to more ease and satisfaction in your relationships with yourself and others.

I believe the biggest set backs are the platform for your biggest come backs!

As a bilingual, first generation Mexican American therapist and Bay Area native, I am passionate about promoting exploration and connection to self identity, healthy relationships, and a growth mindset in times of transition. I work with children and families, particularly I specialize in providing a supportive and nonjudgmental space for teens struggling with the chaos of adolescence and becoming a young adult in this generation. I am here to process these anxious feelings and help teens develop the skills to better recognize, understand, and tolerate their feelings, so they can learn to “grow through what they go through”.

Anxiety and depression can feel powerful and overwhelming at times. These issues can stem from a number of things including unresolved childhood trauma, stressors or circumstances, and life transitions. My approach is goal-oriented and highly collaborative, as I will work alongside you to help you develop coping skills and experience improvements in your mood. We will start by discussing your goals and will work together to help you meet them. I strive to provide a safe, open, and warm environment to support you on your journey for treatment, healing, and growth.
