Therapists in Eureka, CA

Seeking therapy is an act of courage and vulnerability. I meet clients where they are and provide warmth, authenticity and safety to obtain their goals. I value active discussion and feedback to help you feel empowered in making decisions and solving problems. I enjoy working with people who are navigating transitions, are seeking support in improving self esteem, experience anxiety and are looking to process family dynamics. I have experience in supporting people with trauma, depression, anxiety, life stressors, gender identity exploration and conflict in relationships. I see teens, adults and couples in my practice at this time.

Hello! My name is Kerry, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, behavior problems, anger management issues, and ADHD.

As a queer transgender, nonbinary individual with a non-traditional spiritual practice and collaborative approach to my therapy, I know that finding the right therapist is important. Whether in rural situations or in a big city—the therapy room is a space where a client doesn't have to explain or educate a therapist about sexuality, open relationships, polyamory, BDSM, body size, disability, chronic health issues, experiences of oppression, or racism. You are valid. I hold that everyone is an expert of their own life. I am not an expert when it comes to your life.

I have been working with people for 40 years and look forward to helping clients create healthy relationships with me, themselves and with those in their lives. I enjoy working with individuals from all racial and cultural backgrounds who are motivated to make changes in their lives; to reduce painful reactions; and increase their understanding of what makes them feel happy, strong and self assured. I encourage clients to do homework assignments in between therapy sessions, in an effort to help clients take ownership of their process, and learn coping skills that will last beyond treatment.

Enhancing your ability to practice self-care and understand your own mental health can lead to positive outcomes across multiple facets of life.

I believe that the therapy process is a practice of paying attention to what is actually happening - it sounds simple, but this is actually a deeply profound and challenging stance to maintain towards life. The work we do in therapy involves bringing elements of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, how we relate to ourselves and to others, and how we move through the world, from the darkness of the unconscious into the light of consciousness where we can take a look at them. We do not have to struggle and toil in order to implement change in our lives.
