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.

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.

Vanessa Tate

My approach anchored in somatic awareness is especially effective for those who are curious and committed to exploring maladaptive patterns in their life choices and their relationships. I assist adults to deepen their coping with overwhelming emotions, complex trauma, anxiety, codependence, abusive family systems and spiritual inquiries. I help couples learn conflict resolution skills, attunement, emotional intimacy and explore commitment agreements including separating respectfully.

Diana Teich

I work with couples who avoid conflict and feel lonely in their partnership, and those who fight frequently and find conflict escalates quickly. I also work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, have a hard time asking for their needs to be met and often don't understand their emotional reactions. Many experienced childhood trauma that has hurt their sense of self. Others come for support during life transitions or because they are grieving.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Online Therapy

Isobel Heath

Therapy improves relationships. The individuals I work with are often tired of repeating the same patterns again and again, whether it's dating abuse, codependency, or chronic relationship conflict, anxiety, avoidance or indecision. They're ready to get to the root causes and finally make real change. Of course, all relationships start with and reflect your relationship to yourself. If you're dealing with a harsh inner critic or low self-worth, this internal relationship needs attention first.

Online Therapy

Patricia Korijn

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating trauma, transitions, and identity exploration with gentle compassion. My practice is built on the foundation that every person's story and identity deserves to be honored and celebrated. Whether you're a working professional seeking balance, someone struggling with past experiences, or feeling stuck in patterns, I provide a safe space where you can feel truly seen. Together, we'll work towards feeling lighter and more connected in your daily life

Taylor Simon

You have the map, I'll hold the flashlight - together we will gain a holistic understanding of how your life experiences have impeded you - so far - from self-actualizing. Clients who resonate with me are often neurdivergent, traumatized, kinky or queer, maybe Jewish individuals who are proficient survivors who aren't sure how to take the next step and thrive. If you were a black sheep, parentified child, or just want to heal your nervous system I'm here for you. You deserve to flourish!

Natalia El-Sheikh

You are probably sick and tired of hearing the critical voice inside your head telling you that you are not good enough, that nothing will ever change, and that you are the problem. This constant self-criticism is exhausting, and it's hard to believe that things could be different... I am here to tell you that they can, life as you know it can be different. You deserve to set yourself free from feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness. You deserve to enjoy all of what life has to offer.

Ann Marie Dobosz

Yes, the state of the world right now is overwhelming. But to be honest, you've felt this way a long time: anxious, uncertain, despairing. Do you respond by trying to do everything perfectly, plan five steps ahead, never make any mistakes? Do you have a persistent feeling of "not good enough" that follows you from work to relationships to family? Is your mind often racing with thoughts about what you could have done better or how you disappointed someone?

Online Therapy

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.

Online Therapy

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.

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.
