Stefan Paquet

We encounter challenges not just in our connections but also at work, school, and within our minds, grappling with issues like depression, anxiety, or trauma. The challenge arises when our difficulties overshadow our joyful experiences. I’m committed to helping you find peace and joy in your life and relationships. I hold a firm belief in the capacity of each individual to achieve happiness and fulfillment, and I’m dedicated to guiding you toward realizing that potential.

Tammie Makely

Struggling to connect with your partner or to move past hurt and resentment? You're not alone. Many couples face insurmountable challenges, but there is hope and a way forward. As a specialist in couples therapy, I'm dedicated to helping couples navigate the complexities of their relationships, rebuild trust, and deepen their connection. My expertise lies in guiding couples through the healing process, particularly after the pain of infidelity, using the Gottman Method.

Mandy Greaves

My practice is centered on providing empathic support and effective strategies primarily in Marriage Counseling and Couples Therapy. I specialize in addressing relationship issues, helping partners understand each other better, communicate more effectively, and resolve conflicts to strengthen their bond. My therapeutic approach is tailored to the unique needs of each couple, integrating various methods to foster deeper connections and mutual respect among partners.

Robin Neville

Are you seeking deep, meaningful healing and relief from your suffering? Do you struggle with concerns like anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, depression, relationship dysfunction, addictive behaviors? Have you been feeling like you're just "white-knuckling" your way through life, rather than living fully and authentically?

Zev Zingher

Are you feeling stuck or frustrated by past treatments? Struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or stress? I specialize in helping individuals who haven’t found the right approach to their mental health. Through a compassionate, holistic plan, I’ll work with you to address underlying issues, foster resilience, and create lasting change. Together, we’ll find a path to healing and growth. Let’s take the first step together!

Lilly Servera

I enjoy helping individuals who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, life transitions, as well as those who want to overcome various symptoms of trauma. Often people I work with are seeking more peace, empowerment, and healthier relationships with others and with themselves. In this, my aim is to help individuals feel more confident, attuned to themselves, and kinder to parts of themselves, even those that can be hard to accept.

Anny Papatheodorou

Whether your struggle runs deep or is an interim situation, together we can create possibilities for you to manifest a life you love with the life you have. With support, you can rewrite your story as you embark on your inner quest of becoming more of who you really are. Our purpose together will be to make meaning out of your experiences, as well as highlight opportunities for symptom relief, expansion, and healing.

Kathy Brady

Life in the Bay Area is challenging and the additional stress that sometimes accompanies being LGBTQ+, a parent, or both can push it over the edge. High levels of stress can interfere with relationships, parenting, work, self-care and health. Therapy can support you in cultivating a sense of well-being and balance in your life as well as help you overcome specific mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and addictive behaviors.

John Edwards

Have you been thinking "I should really do something about my current life?" If yes, then let's work together to help you break unhelpful patterns that involve anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictions/substance abuse or marriage/relationship problems. If you're looking to transform your life, that is, accept yourself, achieve those dreams that you've put off, and create an amazing fulfilling life then you've got the right profile. It's never too late to start or start over.

Sheila Addison

Building relationships to last a lifetime!

Amina Elfiki

I am passionate about working with: People of Color; Trans, non-binary, and genderqueer individuals, and their partners and families; Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Queer folks; Polyamorous and non-monogamous individuals, couples, families and other relationship configurations; Activists and organizers involved in social justice movements and struggles for liberation; and especially, people at the intersections of these categories.

Nicole Bermensolo

I have had the privilege of working with children, adults, couples, and families of diverse cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, religions, and gender spectrums. I love the work I do and find it fulfilling, meaningful and beautiful. I feel grateful for the people that trust in me and allow me into their lives. I seek to establish a trusting, accepting, and collaborative relationship with my clients to support them in navigating life's many challenges.

Melanie Ferrari

I'm queer and LGBTQIA+ aligned, and many of my clients tend to be as well. I use attachment and trauma informed psych models, and have treated a lot of high-trauma and late diagnosis clients. I'm authentic and direct, and that works very well with people who prefer direct communication and people on the autism and ADHD spectrums.

Amanda Piasecki

I work primarily with queer people and transfolks--many of whom come from immigrant families and navigate complex identities and experiences as a result. Most of the people I work with are coping with symptoms that have emerged in relationship to trauma. I love working with couples, groups, and families, particularly those with nontraditional configurations, as well as with individuals.

Carly Earnshaw

My clients are usually artists, people in helping professions or people who have a fundamental sense of being “different” from others in some important way. Though my clients sometimes doubt their strengths when they first come to therapy, I generally find that the people I work with are often thoughtful and caring. They usually come to therapy because they are trapped in a painful circumstance such as deep depression, intense anxiety or repeated difficulties in relationships.

Jules Peithman

I work with couples, adults, and teens who are LGBTQIA+ and/or BIPOC folks. Some themes I love working with include grief, relationships, life transitions, boundaries, anxiety, and depression. Integration of altered states of consciousness, exploration of intersectional identities and intergenerational trauma are also common themes in my practice. I have a passion for helping folks get in touch with their inner knowing & becoming their fullest and most authentic selves.

Sarah Jimenez

My clients might suffer from depression and/or anxiety due to trauma they have experienced by being institutionalized (jail, hospital(s), foster care, etc.). My clients will be motivated to make change and may or may not be seeking therapy as part of a mandate and/or court order from criminal court, juvenile dependency, AND/OR Family Court(s) in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am gender and LGBTQA+ affirming AND body-positive leaning.

Carole Goguen, Psy.D.

I know what it's like when your mind constantly wanders, except for those times when you get intensely focused on the wrong things, making it hard to pull away. The anxiety of everything you need to do looms over you. At home, everyone expects you to organize their lives while you struggle to organize your own. You feel frustrated for not meeting their expectations and can't comprehend why you can't accomplish things you know you should be able to do. Life feels chaotic and out of control.

Rawna Romero

I enjoy assisting a wide variety of individuals, couples and families, including those new to the process of therapy. While offering a general practice, I have extensive experience serving adoptees and persons who have experienced early life loss, neglect and abuse as well as persons recovering from adversities in adulthood. I have a special interest in supporting couples with histories of trauma or living with cultural differences and persons with strong creative or spiritual orientations.

Tim Holtzman

Have you previously undergone therapy, but didn’t get the results you wanted? Are you a pragmatic person who values an approach that establishes well-defined objectives and delivers tangible outcomes? Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a potent form of therapy that empowers you the client to directly transform emotions and behaviors. The greatest advantage of IFS therapy is its establishment of clear, measurable goals right from the start. Which allows you to observe the progress you make.
