Meet Jane T. Bond, LMFT, a licensed psychotherapist of African and Asian descent. With a private practice located in the beautiful Bay Area, Jane brings a socio-cultural-historical dimension to her approach to therapy. Her heritage, coupled with her life experience navigating the complexities of larger systemic issues of racism, sexism, and xenophobia, has been a necessary part of her education and growth. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery, with Jane, takes a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths, possibly about oneself, family and society, requiring one to be courageous, while working on building an internal sense of security and resilience. Talking with Jane can help empower you to expand your awareness and understanding of your problems, allowing for new insights and possibilities.
