You are grieving, heartbroken, or lost. You didn’t get the job, you broke up with your partner, someone important has died. Grief is normal and exquisite and painful. You want to talk about it, but you don’t want to burden anyone. Here you have permission to be a burden. To be messy, seen, repetitive, and stuck. I’ll meet you there, but won’t leave you there. We work towards managing the unimaginable. Reckoning with the stories we tell and the paths lost, in order to reconcile with where we truly are. There you will find possibility. New stories, new love, new hope. There you will find the courage to start again.

Therapy is a journey and as your therapist I occupy the role of being your journeyman. As a journeyman I walk alongside you and together we explore how you’ve experienced your life, and the stressors that may be bringing you into a therapeutic space like this. I want to learn your language, understand your experience from your perspective. This is all done in our safe collaborative environment that is free from judgment and bias. Ultimately i'd like an opportunity help you gain the kind of skills that can help you manage your stressors in healthy ways.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou- Sometimes to heal you need someone to listen to you. We can work together to create healthy boundaries, find a better balance, establish more effective coping skills, and develop more meaningful relationships.
As an LMFT, my mission is to be able to help you maximize personal wellness. My approach is empathetic, personalized, and evidence-based. I provide psychotherapy to individuals with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and interpersonal relationship issues. I understand that people are dynamic and multi-faceted so interventions should be as equally diverse. I am dedicated to building on your strengths to encourage personal growth and development, increase positive coping strategies, and promote self-efficacy and resilience.
I have worked in various settings where I have developed my eclectic philosophy in working with clients. I empower clients to achieve their goals in their counseling journey. I aim to help you find happiness, reach your potential, and create a bright future. I look forward to working with you to make the life and relationships you desire.

Hey! My name is Alyssa Thompson Tolosa, you can call me Alyssa.
Is it just me, or does this online search for a therapist thing kinda feel a bit like online dating?
You scroll through profiles, a picture catches your eye, and then you read all the best parts of them and wonder, "Will we be a match?"
It's a highly vulnerable and uncertain experience. There are so many possible matches and way too many people to choose from.
It's overwhelming, but I might just be the right therapist for you.
I'm a licensed therapist in California with 10 years of experience. I am also a certified yoga and barre instructor and have been teaching for 8 years. I believe in your ability to manifest greatness, that you are worthy of all good things no matter what mistakes you've made in the past, and that you have a natural ability to heal any emotional wound. I believe that I am here to be your guide.
I help people fully enjoy life by giving them the tools to confidently navigate life's low points and be more present during life's high points.
I help people...
- get out of their heads and into the present moment so they can experience joy and connection, instead of constantly worrying and being self-critical
- learn how to say "NO" and stop allowing people to take advantage of them
- identify and communicate their needs instead of keeping them bottled up and resenting people for not reading their mind
- break the cycle of generational trauma so they can pass down ways of thinking, being, feeling, and behaving that lead to greater prosperity, joy, and fulfillment
- learn practices that will give them greater control over their emotions so they feel less bothered.

It never ceases to amaze me just how often I have to try to convince others that they are worthy SIMPLY because they exist. This includes you! I want to know who communicated to you that you are not enough and why you value the opinion of said person(s); these types of harmful beliefs are learned, not innate. Let's unlearn them together.
Most of my early clinical work has been with children and adolescents with focus on Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, trauma and various behavioral and emotional issues. I have worked in high-intensity and high-crisis environments from school to hospital settings.
I am passionate about working with and creating a safe space for folks who belong to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. I understand that belonging to a marginalized/oppressed group can result in barriers to achieving and maintaining optimal mental health. I am a cis/het woman doing my best to provide care that is equitable and gender-affirming. I'm always learning and growing as an ally; you will always be safe here. I am also always looking at things through a trauma-informed lens.
I'm a busy working parent who understands how hard it can be to do it all. I am currently pursuing a certification in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders to be able to better support soon-to-be and new parents; this particular journey is no joke!

Families often come to seek more information on how to establish and produce healthier habits that benefit their well-being and self-esteem. They learn that the healthier they are, it increases their happiness and in turn benefits relationships.
Kendall helps families and individuals explore and identify who they are, their communication style and how to protect these realizations with healthy boundaries. After learning more about themselves, families often feel much more equipped to decrease or rid themselves of symptoms that prompt them to seek therapy initially.
It's always an honor, privilege and a wonderful opportunity to process with families in their sacred spaces.

Hi there.
My name is Alexis Morris and my preferred name is Lexi. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of California, my primary goal is to provide compassionate and effective therapy to individuals seeking support and guidance. With a foundation in evidence-based practices, I specialize in helping clients navigate through life's challenges and achieve their personal goals.
Drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches, I tailor my interventions to meet the unique needs and preferences of each client. My approach is collaborative, focusing on building a trusting therapeutic relationship that fosters openness and growth.
I believe in the importance of creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of criticism. Through exploration and self-discovery, my aim is to empower clients to cultivate resilience, enhance self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies.
As a counselor committed to ethical standards and ongoing professional development, I strive to stay informed about the latest research and best practices in the field. My dedication to the well-being of my clients is reflected in my advocacy for their mental health and personal growth throughout the therapeutic process.

How have you been doing lately...really? I often find that we ask this question a lot to one another and often respond with a surface "fine". But we aren't always fine and this is why therapeutic support is so essential to all of us at various times in our life like any other essential personal maintenance that we receive on a regular basis.
In my practice I enjoy helping people find their voice to speak to whatever obstacles are in their life with truth and personal power. Accessing this voice can transform lives and help people who feel alone, sad, anxious more connected as they are first connecting with themselves.
I enjoy working with various modalities in my practice and operate from the belief that spirit in conjunction with physical and mental well being is a more holistic course of action to help people on their healing journeys!

My name is Michelle and I welcome all. Although I have been working in this field for 30 years, I have been licensed for 8 years. I have worked and lived in the Bay area and surrounding areas all my life . I am passionate about "helping" others. Not only is it my work but I also have my own lived experiences and family members who don't want to receive services because of the "judgement" of receiving help. I want to alleviate the stigma of mental health and inspire and empower individuals to seek out support if they struggling with anything that is getting in the way of reaching your dreams. I am an genuine, transparent and honest communicator. Although I have been trained any many modalities, I want to work on any obstacles so that you can move forward in life. You have made the first step, and it doesn't matter if this is your first or third time making this step. What matters is that you are here NOW. let's do this!!

Hi, I'm Dr. Kisha Bashkiharatee. My background includes a Masters in Clinical and School counseling, and my PhD is in Family Studies. I have loved being a part of the mental health field since I took my first psychology class in high school, but since it was really hard to find counseling jobs in high school, I decided to continue my education. At each level, I have been able to learn more about myself and become more grounded in my field. Sometimes in life, it feels like we are heading to a destination, but we don’t have the whole road map. It can be scary, confusing, and lonely. I want to support individuals in finding the tools to help navigate, redirect, and reorient their lives, and I would be greatly honored to be a part of your journey.

Hi there, I’m Michelle,
Have you not felt like yourself lately? Are you struggling to find that happy, healthy, hopeful place in life? Whether it be from relationships, personal, or just life, sometimes we can just feel overwhelmed and out of sync with who we were or who we would like to become.
I am here to help facilitate that change. Together we can target the obstacles in your life and make a plan of action to put you on the right path. By using an integrative approach with effective therapeutic modalities we focus on the whole being to get you in balance.
My style is eclectic utilizing an empathetic position to build rapport while empowering you to become the stronger happier version of self. I combine affirmations and metaphoric narrative to separate you from the problem, allowing you to externalize the issues rather than internalize them.
I will meet you right where you are and provide a safe place for you to thrive and move forward.
“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.
