Therapists in Danville, CA

From time to time, life stressors negatively impact our physical and mental well-being. You may find yourself dealing with complex challenges such as feeling stuck in unproductive patterns, grappling with inner conflicts, or facing barriers that hinder your personal and emotional development in life. Seeking help from a psychotherapist can profoundly contribute to better mental health and achieving a sense of balance, increased self-confidence, and a deeper connection with yourself and others.

Most people go through times in life of feeling emotional pain and wishing they could feel better. They may also want to have more control over their emotions, function at a higher level, and have more satisfying relationships. I work with people who are feeling this way, applying the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) model which entails teaching clients skills for managing painful emotions. DBT is effective for treating anxiety, depression, anger, relationship problems, trauma, and substance abuse. I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents, and I co-facilitate DBT groups.

At Blackhawk Family Development Center we strive to provide treatment that goes beyond symptom relief.

Whether we are working with a child, adolescent or adult our therapy and assessment services offer the opportunity to develop the positive self concept that promotes interactions fueled through resilience, innovation and positive intention.

I appreciate helping individuals and couples that just want to live better lives, have deeper relationships, and find more joy in day to day living. Life can be tough. Good therapy offers support, a place to be heard, guidance, and sometimes a place to hear truths that you may not want to hear, but need to hear. I offer a supportive and direct approach to those needing help with sex and relationship issues, anxiety, depression, anger management, trauma, and addictions. I also have a special spot in my heart to support those who have dealt with loss, whether recently or many years ago. Therapy is a space to adapt, stretch, and grow.

Hi, I'm Kaitlin! Are you exhausted from trying to "do it all" and struggle to keep up with your relationships, work, and health? Do you feel stuck and disconnected from purpose in your life?

It takes a lot of strength and courage to journey toward a more fulfilling and happy life. If you’re ready to take the next step, I am here to support and empower you

My perspective embraces self-awareness as one of the main instruments in helping free up trauma. Fuller awareness removes the fear of the unknown, gives us distance from distress and the ability to disconnect from automatic behaviors that perpetuate negative reactions and feelings. In the words of international trauma experts “its teaching our clients how to focus on new stimuli they normally might not have noticed...” with “conscious inhibition of old responses”(Jana Fisher and Pat Ogden, March 2011). The intricacies of our humanness prevents freedom from all depression, anxiety, neurosis and traumatic bodily sensations. Yet.....

Do you find yourself repeatedly reacting to recurring emotional triggers; trapped in repetitive negative cycles in your relationships, or unable to figure out how to move forward to a more positive, secure bond with your partner? My warmth, humor and interactive style creates trust and safety to encourage and support you. Clients express that they feel relief from symptoms of stress, such a anxiety or depression, and experience feeling more emotional flexibility and balance.
