My goal is to support each person in gaining insight, developing practical tools, and moving toward meaningful and lasting personal growth.

Hi, I’m Ashley. I’m a therapist who specializes in supporting individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence‑based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET). I work to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move at your own pace. In our work together, we’ll explore the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape how you feel today, and we’ll build practical tools to help you move toward healing, clarity, and a greater sense of control in your life. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and support you in getting where you want to be.

My journey as a counselor began working with the Veterans Hospital in an outpatient clinic working with veterans with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, survivors of sexual assault and educating the family. I also have experience working with those who have experienced Intimate Partner Violence, Post Partum-Depression and family members who are caregivers. I am a mother, a caregiver and grandmother who plays an active role in grandkid’s life.

My goal in my counseling is to help my clients live deeply fulfilling lives. I help clients increase their psychological flexibility through various tools and approaches including evidence-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to change their thought patterns. I use experiential approaches including Hypnotherapy to work with subconscious minds and remove blocks that are deep in their psyche. I also provide mindfulness training, which is one of the key techniques for the clients to be more present and accepting in their lives, rather than react reflexively. Each individual's struggles are complex and tied to many factors including their social environment, their physical health, the phases of their lives, skills they already possess, etc. In other words, change can happen in a variety of ways and that's what counseling can help with, pointing out the direction and even the next steps that can help the client to get to their goals and intentions. I work with clients experiencing sleep disorders, chronic pain, anxiety, mood issues, ADHD, career counseling, and those who simply need a tune-up.

I have been working with and supporting children, teens, and adults for twenty-seven years through various methods, including child therapy and individual therapy. I enjoy helping others conquer anxiety and depressive symptoms, and I focus on coaching them to better understand their choices and behaviors.

Hello, my name is Megan. I appreciate you taking the leap to want to do something different in your life. I know how hard talking about some of these big life issues can be like the death of our person, living through the struggle of infertility and acknowledging the weight of our anxiety is too much.

In the beginning of working together, I want you to feel comfortable sharing your story. Everyone arrives wanting a witness to their grieving at different stages of their process. Your relationship is to different each person had a different relationship to their person. I believe the importance of listening to what is said in the room or what is not said.

Hello, If you’re on this website I want to applaud you for your bravery and courage to seek services. I believe our earliest relationships shape how we understand ourselves, connect with others, and cope with emotional challenges. In therapy, I help clients explore how early relational experiences influence present-day patterns in relationships, self-worth, and emotional regulation. Rather than focusing on “what’s wrong,” we work to understand what once helped you adapt and how those strategies may no longer be serving you. I take a relational, attachment-informed approach, using the therapeutic relationship as a safe, supportive space to build insight, foster emotional growth, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m Andrea Glick, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in psychotherapy, supporting individuals and families through reproductive challenges, life transitions, and uncertainty. I am passionate about the work I do in health care settings, where I advocate for patients navigating complex medical systems—a role that deeply informs my therapy practice. My path into this work is inspired by my personal experience with infertility and reproductive diagnoses, and wading through the challenging and emotional adoption process. I found myself inside a complicated healthcare landscape that required constant advocacy, difficult decisions, and learning to ask for support when I needed it most. Every decision felt heavy and urgent, yet there was no one who understood my situation to help make those choices. Along the way, I had to build my own village—people who could hold space for both the practical realities and the emotional weight of what I was going through. Today, I hope to be part of that village for others walking similar paths.

My name is Tiffany Deneau. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience. I have worked both in the inpatient/outpatient setting and have worked with several populations. My primary focus is improving emotional regulation, improving relationships, increasing self-esteem, and achieving personal growth. I became a therapist because I know what it feels like to no longer want to go on with life. I also know what it feels like to finally be out of the hole l was in and to feel whole again. I know how difficult it is to ask for help, but it's also the best decision one can make.

I am a Bay Area native woman who identifies as a Christian, mother, social worker, and African-American. Growing up, I had a rough childhood in which I stayed with multiple family members and was exposed to the “fast” life and dysfunctional relationships, as well as the “9 to 5 working”, church centered, married life. While both made me into the woman I am, it was really my grandparents taking me in as a teen and showing me unconditional love, that made me able to not become another statistic, and understand what love is. My healing journey was not easy, but it was necessary! It is the people who poured into me and believed in me when I didn’t love or believe in myself that help me transform from broken and angry to the confident woman who loves herself and steps out on faith and gives back to those who have past or current circumstances that are holding them back from being there best version of them. I am not here to judge or tell anyone how to live. I am here to help people release their traumas, hurts, and other obstacles so they can restore to a healthy level of functioning mentally, spiritually, and physically. I focus on the person as a whole as our health mentally, spiritually, and physically, has a direct impact on on well being, and an imbalance in any one can hinder our level of functioning.
