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.

Krista Niles

I work with busy couples who are stuck in a cycle of miscommunication and disconnection that they don't know how to get out of. Many of my clients come to therapy at a time when career and family needs are pulling them away from being able to focus on their relationship. We start from the position that keeping a relationship strong requires work -- but the RIGHT kind of work. Week by week, topic by topic, we talk through stuckness and get to resolution.

Micah Rea

I am passionate about providing a space for people to be celebrated for being their authentic selves. I honor and respect the strategies clients have learned that support them in coping and surviving. Together, we can develop more awareness of how these coping strategies and patterns serve you, and when it is supportive, work to find new ways of relating with yourself and others.

Mary Beth Schuler

I work with adults, teens, couples, and polycules. I have in-depth knowledge of the LGBTQIA2-S+ communities, neurodiversion, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, trauma, life transitions, grief, gender exploration/affirmation, health at every size, kink, and relationship anarchy/polyamory/open relationships.

Hannah Brumbaum

Often, we're taught to shy away from the uncomfortable: the wounds, the hurt places. We label them as “bad” or “problems”, and do whatever we can to cope, instead of healing that pain. I specialize in working with folks who have experienced trauma, feel they don’t fit into society’s boxes, or seek deeper self-exploration. Together, we reconnect to your body and emotions, break out of old patterns that aren’t serving you, and move into the life you want.

Dr. Caroline Stone

My clients are looking to make specific changes and want an interactive clinician to provide perspective, as well as tools and strategies for coping with challenging emotions and life stressors. I specialize in relationship concerns, break-ups, and major life, academic, and career transitions. I also help clients with OCD, complex physical health conditions, parenting, and anxiety disorders. In addition, I offer performance and executive coaching services throughout Silicon Valley.

Even the most successful people could use a little help sometimes. You can wrestle with self-doubt, push yourself to figure it out, and still not feel good enough. What’s holding you back? What are you keeping inside? Burning out, frustrated with your family, or disappointed with your friends? Hate your job, have a mean boss, or feeling lost? Discover the links between trauma and achievement. Skillfully navigate narcissistic relationships and family estrangement.

Amy Borlina

Are you always a little bit afraid that an anxiety attack is waiting around the corner? Have you been hit with surprise anxiety more times than you can count? I know exactly what you're feeling: the pounding chest, the shortness of breath, the feeling that the walls are closing in and you need out NOW. Attacks can be terrifying, and I don't want you to have to suffer them anymore. Holistic practices can reduce anxiety tremendously, and I look forward to teaching you tools to take your life back.

Ashley Grant

My clients tend to be individuals who struggle to advocate for themselves in relationships- whether they be work, romantic, familial or friendly. They tend to put other people's feelings before their own. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, or both. I work with a lot of people who experienced emotional neglect in childhood, and/or self centered parents, and/or very oppressive home environments.

Sara Fischer Sanford

Perhaps you're here because something feels off, difficult, or just… heavy. You might be actively searching for support, or maybe you're just tentatively exploring the idea of therapy. You know you need a space where you won't just be accepted, but truly understood – a place where your identity as isn't just a footnote, but a central, respected part of your story. I heal both mind and body from abuse, attachment wounds, isolation, and self-doubt or hatred.

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.

Catherine Ferreira-Babor

I understand that starting therapy with a total stranger takes a leap of faith. You hope that you will feel better but you can't help but worry that you wont. While I treat a variety of issues, a universal element of my work has to do with helping people see that their "problems" are not insurmountable, nor are they evidence that they are weak, stupid, or damaged. It may not come naturally to you to feel compassion for yourself but I hope that through me you will see that you deserve it.

Rebecca Scott, PsyD

In addition to the many problems that complicate our daily lives such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, patients come to me with complex relationship issues including marital distress, divorce recovery, verbal & emotional abuse, loss of child, parent, or spouse. The holistic approach that I use will address the root problem, not just the symptoms. I offer perspective on your experience, and provide clear, concise directions on meeting your treatment goals.
