I’m dedicated to helping adults and families navigate the complexities of life transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, adjustment challenges, grief and loss, relationship stress, and self-esteem issues. With over 15 years of experience in social services, I bring a compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally aware lens to the therapeutic relationship. My passion lies in helping individuals strengthen communication, set healthy boundaries, express emotions, and reconnect with their sense of self.

I’m Dr. Claudia Nuñez a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. I believe therapy is not about reliving pain for its own sake. It is about understanding what your suffering has been signaling and bringing that understanding into the present so you can live with more clarity, self-compassion, and choice. Many of the people I work with feel caught in anxiety and overthinking, people pleasing, guilt, burnout, or a deep sense that something needs to change but they cannot quite name what. Others are moving through grief or life transitions that have shaken their identity, relationships, or sense of direction. Some are navigating a spiritual calling or values shift, and feeling both pulled toward meaning and exhausted by the weight of it all. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in Internal Family Systems and liberation psychology. Rather than viewing symptoms or recurring patterns as personal flaws, we explore them with curiosity and consider how they may have been shaped by your history, relationships, culture, environment, and ways of adapting. Together, we identify what is no longer serving you, clarify what you need now, and develop responses that feel more intentional, sustainable, and aligned with your values. Alongside talk therapy, I may incorporate mindfulness, somatic awareness, narrative exploration, and evidence-informed cognitive and behavioral strategies. Grounding and breath practices are offered collaboratively and adapted to your comfort—not to bypass pain or minimize the realities around you, but to help you remain present and build greater capacity for choice. My style is warm, honest, and collaborative. We move at a pace that respects your boundaries while supporting meaningful reflection and change.

I'm an Oakland native, a Taurus, and a therapist — which means I take the work seriously without taking myself too seriously. I came to this work the long way. As a children's social worker in LA County, I spent years in the intimate spaces of Black and brown communities — sitting with families in some of their hardest moments and learning, over and over again, that people are not the sum of their impulses, their regretted decisions, or the ways they've learned to cope. We are the result of our communities, our histories, everything we've had to carry — and resist. My own time in therapy taught me something I couldn't have learned any other way: that being truly seen and accepted by another person creates slow, real transformation. That's the kind of work I want to do. Outside of the therapy room, I'm usually at a concert, cooking something, tending my balcony garden, or hunting for records. I take my dining experiences seriously — no green grass walls and vibes.

I'm Casey Binstadt, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of Interwoven Connection. I work with individuals navigating some of life's most disorienting moments — divorce, infertility, relationship shifts, and the transitions that quietly reshape who you are. My approach is warm, honest, and grounded in real connection. If you're ready to stop feeling stuck, I'd love to help.

I am a caring and skilled therapist. I have a great deal of experience and a well of therapeutic techniques to draw from depending on what works best for you.

Hi There! I'm Rachel. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are. My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where we can explore your experiences together with honesty, curiosity, and compassion. I recognize that every person is unique, and I tailor my approach to fit each client's individual needs. Whether you're navigating a difficult season of life, feeling stuck in old patterns, or simply wanting a deeper understanding of yourself, I strive to help you feel supported while working toward meaningful and lasting growth. Outside of the therapy room, I love getting lost in a good book, spending time outdoors with friends, and baking. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to the things that bring joy and balance into my life.

I’m a relational therapist who works with adults and couples seeking a more intentional, connected, and fulfilling way of living. Many of the people I work with feel caught in patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, overfunctioning, or burnout—often finding it difficult to relax, be present, or feel truly connected to themselves or others. I am in-network with Kaiser, Aetna and other insurance. My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally attuned, integrating insight-oriented and experiential work with practical tools. I support clients in understanding the patterns shaping how they think, feel, and relate—including the impact of upbringing, culture, and expectations—so they can reconnect with their internal compass. My goal is to help you align with your values and feel more grounded, authentic, and at ease in your life and relationships.

My focus is on guiding people through depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. If you’re feeling stuck, therapy can offer clarity, support, and a path forward. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and find meaningful ways to move ahead. Expect sessions to be calm, accommodating, and understanding. I want you to feel comfortable talking about anything. I offer a safe space without judgment where you can be yourself.

As a therapist, I feel tremendous gratitude to be able to support ALL individuals on their journey of healing. I aim to use a compassionate and strength-based approach, which allows me to maintain an open mind and heart throughout our work together while focusing on the strengths and skill you already have. I practice holistically to look at the different aspects of the mind, body, emotions, and spirit to find what is needed to feel more peace and comfort in your life. Throughout our time together, I’m committed to showing up with a positive, kind, respectful, nonjudgmental and caring attitude.

You might feel stuck in patterns like overthinking, anxiety, or relationship stress that are hard to turn off. Even when things look fine on the outside, it can feel exhausting trying to manage everything internally. I work with adults who want to understand these patterns and respond differently, not just cope. Our work focuses on making sense of what is happening beneath the surface while also finding practical ways to feel more clear, grounded, and in control in daily life. I integrate trauma informed care and parts work to help you build self-trust, set boundaries, and move through challenges with more clarity and confidence.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) seeking to offer a safe and welcoming space for individuals to access their own inner abilities to heal. For the past decade I have worked as a therapist for individuals across the life span in outpatient, private practice, and school-based settings.

I welcome members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and individuals of any race, ethnicity, religion, or cultural background. Choosing to begin therapy is a courageous step, and I look forward to embarking on this work with you.

I'm an LCSW specializing in trauma, grief, attachment wounds, and anxiety. I help people understand why they react the way they do, so they can respond with greater clarity, confidence, and self trust. With over eight years of experience working with adults, young adults, and teens, I've helped clients navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, and the patterns that keep showing up no matter how hard they try to outthink them. Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and human. I show up as a real person who is warm, down to earth, and willing to gently challenge the patterns that are keeping you stuck when the time is right. I infuse our sessions with moments of humor when it helps create connection and ease, while also making space for the difficult conversations and emotions that deserve attention. I use evidence based approaches including EMDR, CBT, DBT, trauma informed care, and parts oriented work because they help create lasting change, not just insight. My goal is not for you to depend on therapy forever. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, trust yourself, and leave therapy with the confidence and tools to navigate life long after our work together ends.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming and challenging therefore my goal is to provide a warm, supportive and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, attachment, life transitions and adjustment challenges.

Hi, I'm Lindsay...I'm a therapist who believes in blending practical tools and behaviors for change here and now with the deeper exploration necessary to make that change sustainable. I believe that we all have the natural capacity to heal given the right conditions and relationships. I believe in helping you reconnect to your intuition and your own inner healing energy.

I have more than two decades of intensive training in mindfulness and meditation, and I believe that is the reason for my ability to be very present.

Therapy is my passion! I absolutely love to watch my clients grow and change before my eyes. Hi, I’m Lois, Mother of 3 amazing boys, business owner and lover of life. I have learned so much through my years of working with clients individually, in groups and with families and couples. What I have learned is that as humans we are resilient! We have been given this life to have joy and life lessons. I have been honored to guide and encourage many clients over the last 20 years. It is my life purpose to help others especially when they cannot see the abundance and joy that is around us. I use many different modalities to guide clients on their journey. One of my main modalities is EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) which are both very effective healing modalities. I'm always excited to learn new techniques and offer a variety of modalities to assist my clients in their healing journey. I also use short-term solution-focused therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness among others to bring about change. I truly believe as a therapist I must do my own work, for I cannot take you to a place that I have not visited. I have done many years of my own therapy, attended healing retreats, participated in group therapy and attended 12 step meetings, writing and lots of self care!

Hi, I’m Dr. Tiona Sykes (Dr. T), a Black woman therapist, LMFT, and PsyD‑trained clinician. I specialize in supporting high‑functioning women, men, and gender‑expansive individuals who are navigating anxiety, identity confusion, faith‑based challenges, relational stress, and major life transitions. My clients are thoughtful, capable people who carry a lot internally while still showing up for everyone else — and they’re ready for therapy that helps them feel more grounded, clear, and connected to themselves. I work especially well with faith‑centered adults (Christian men and women navigating the nuances of spirituality, sex, trauma, and family expectations) and therapists/clinicians (graduate students, associates, and licensed providers seeking emotionally attuned, identity‑focused support). These clients often need a therapist who understands both the emotional load they carry and the complexity of their internal world. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply attuned. I blend evidence‑based tools with identity‑centered work, helping you understand what’s happening beneath the surface so you can make meaningful shifts in your relationships, boundaries, and emotional world. Many clients begin feeling relief within 6–10 sessions, and others choose to continue longer depending on their goals. If you’re looking for therapy that is supportive, clarifying, and designed to help you feel better sooner rather than later, you’re in the right place.

Kelli is a trauma informed yoga teacher, writer, Land protector, Kundalini and Vishoka meditation practitioner, and mother of 4. Trained by Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur in the Compassionate Inquiry process, Kelli's intention as a psychotherapist is to bring awareness to all facets of ourselves. When we witness these parts with compassion, we become whole, liberated, and restored to our True Nature. As we become more present and connected with ourselves, there is safety and space for authentic expression through our body, psyche, life, and community. Kelli specializes in Complex Trauma; "a psychic wound that hardens you psychologically and then interferes with your ability to grow and develop. It pains you and now you're acting out of pain. It induces fear and now you're acting out of fear. Trauma is not what happens to you, it's what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you." This is often revealed through symptoms of depression, anxiety, and addiction. Our emotions are not tangential to our health. They are a signaling intelligence that can alert us to all sorts of phenomenon in our experience.

Hi there, I'm Joshua! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with a master’s degree in social work, I specialize in providing compassionate, client-centered therapy using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

I currently only have space for in person client on Tuesday at my office located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset, I'm am full for telehealth. My approach to therapy is to help each client or couple adapt and grow from life's circumstances. I help my clients thrive within their community and experience a grounded and vital sense of connectedness to self and all others. I am a firm believer that there are not bad parts / people, only bad roles, patterns and wounds. There is always hope for growth, healing and reclaiming vitality and connection. I utilize a holistic approach that embraces one's intersections and addresses mental, emotional, and somatic (bodily) experiences.

Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions. When we strengthen the relationship with ourselves, the outer world becomes much more balanced and fulfilling. Through slowing down and reconnecting with our mind, body and spirit we can feel more confident to face life events with a more stable and hopeful core sense of self. I specialize in treating relationship issues, addiction/substance abuse, depression, anxiety, job related issues, couples treatment and divorce recovery

Hello and Welcome! I’m grateful you’re here and choosing to prioritize yourself, even if it didn’t feel easy to take this step. A little bit about me: I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 16 years of clinical experience working with people across a wide range of life challenges from anxiety, depression, and chronic stress to relationship struggles, health issues, chronic illness or pain, life transitions, parenting pressures, and trauma recovery. I’ve supported clients in individual, couples, family, and group settings. Many of the clients I work with are used to being the strong one, the one that holds everything together for everyone else... but who don’t often have space to tend to their own needs. In our work together, we’ll slow things down enough to understand what’s been weighing on you and why sometimes it feels so hard to move forward. Therapy with me is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you feel more grounded, steady, and confident in your day-to-day life. We’ll work on quieting the critical inner voice, easing anxiety and stress, and creating space for choices that feel more aligned with who you are and what you need right now. If you’re ready for support that feels warm, thoughtful, and real... and a place where you don’t have to hold everything together... I’d be honored to walk alongside you :)

Tired of being at war with your own mind? If anxiety, self-criticism, or feeling "stuck" has you trapped in cycles of rumination, you're in the right place. I specialize in helping people make peace with inner chaos, not just manage symptoms, but transform your relationship with them so you can build a life of purpose from the inside out. Imagine noticing your inner critic without being controlled by it, or feeling anxiety rise and being able to get curious instead of consumed. I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work from San Diego State University and have been practicing for over five years. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist who believes healing happens in connection. My own lived experience with trauma and the transformative support I received inspired me to become the therapist I needed. This personal journey fuels a deep, empathetic commitment to walking alongside my clients with genuine understanding.

You might feel like you’ve been carrying too much for too long—trying to keep it together while life feels heavier than it should. Maybe anxiety keeps running the show. Maybe you’ve been stuck in habits or patterns that don’t serve you anymore. Maybe you’ve gone through heartbreak, loss, or betrayal and can’t quite find your footing again. Or maybe you just know something’s off, and you’re tired of pretending everything’s fine. Here’s how I can help. Together, we’ll slow things down and get to the root of what’s really driving your emotions and behaviors—not just the surface stress, but the deeper patterns that keep showing up. I’ll help you develop tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings in real time so you can start responding differently instead of reacting automatically. We’ll also focus on rebuilding your confidence and connection—with yourself and the people who matter most. That means learning how to trust your own instincts again, set boundaries without guilt, and create habits that actually last. Therapy with me isn’t about endlessly talking through problems—it’s about real movement. My goal is to help you feel lighter, more grounded, and genuinely hopeful about where you’re headed.

With over 17 years of experience in the mental health field, I offer a grounded, relational, and thoughtful approach to therapy. I have worked across diverse clinical settings and with individuals from a wide range of cultural, social, and life backgrounds. This breadth of experience allows me to adapt my work to the unique needs, values, and goals of each client rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model. I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in curiosity, respect, and emotional safety. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or unsure where to begin. My role is to create a space where you feel supported enough to explore what is happening beneath the surface, while also developing clarity and direction. Rather than focusing on “fixing” problems, I help clients build insight, emotional capacity, and practical tools that support lasting change. My work is informed by evidence-based practices and shaped by a deep appreciation for the human and relational aspects of healing. I value authenticity, trust, and attunement in the therapeutic relationship, and I believe meaningful change occurs when clients feel genuinely understood.

Welcome! My name is Cynthia Guz and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have been licensed with the state of California since 2014 and use evidence-based interventions in the therapy setting to assist individuals in reaching their unique goals. Along with providing individual therapy, I have also developed and facilitated clinical training and provided clinical supervision to unlicensed therapists in a county mental health system. I believe each individual has the innate ability to manage life stressors and heal from past emotional wounds, when given a safe space to reflect and learn adaptive skills. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental as we work at your own pace and tailor treatment to meet your unique needs.

Let me introduce myself, My name is Crystal and I am a first generation bilingual Latinx therapist. I currently hold a license in Clinical Social Work. I have a B.A in Biological Psychology with a Minor in Communications (Cal State San Bernardino), and a Master's degree in Social Work (USC). I have worked in various mental health settings, from working in a mental health urgent care where I worked with many who were in crisis, to working at a residential treatment center where individuals had severe mental illness, worked in a substance abuse clinic running groups, worked for a crisis hotline, and in private practice as a therapist. I feel that my experience in mental health has helped me to become a well-rounded and compassionate therapist overall. I am a trauma informed therapist who allows openness, and a safe space for my clients to heal. My purpose is to help my clients identify and work through their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to uncover their true authentic selves. I am always keeping up with the latest mental health research to educate my client's because I have their best interest at heart.

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with a deep passion for human stories — stories of courage, resilience, healing, and change. I bring warmth, curiosity, and humor into the therapy space, and I aim to create a relationship that feels welcoming, attuned, and supportive. I work with thoughtful, motivated, and often creative adults who may appear to have it all together on the outside, but carry a lot beneath the surface. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, or burnout, while others come feeling creatively blocked, disconnected from purpose, or unsure of what wants to come next. Some arrive with a quieter sense that something meaningful wants attention — a desire to understand themselves more deeply and feel more present and alive. Over time, you may begin to notice familiar patterns in how you relate to yourself and the world. These patterns may show up as perfectionism, constant striving, intellectualizing, or people-pleasing — ways of coping that once made sense in earlier family, cultural, or relational environments, but over time can lead to exhaustion, disconnection, or a sense of not fully being yourself. In therapy, I offer a space to slow down and listen inward. We work at a pace that honors the wisdom of your nervous system, gently exploring patterns while also strengthening your capacity for grounding, connection, and self-trust. Alongside the deeper work, there is room for play, creativity, and moments of wonder — for reconnecting with what brings meaning, pleasure, and aliveness. My hope is to support and empower you in moving toward a more meaningful, authentic, and joyful life.

Hello and welcome! I am a doctor of Psychology, a licensed marriage and family therapist and a licensed professional clinical counselor.

I’m Jaime Reeves, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, author, and healing practitioner who blends clinical expertise with spiritual depth. I help individuals, couples, and families break free from emotional patterns, build stronger boundaries, and reconnect with their authentic selves. My work is rooted in Gestalt, trauma-informed care, ancestral healing, and integrative mind-body practices—offering you a space to grow, heal, and transform from the inside out.

I am a first‑generation, bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 15 years of experience providing trauma‑informed, culturally responsive mental health care. I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also work closely with first‑generation individuals, parents, caregivers, and people balancing multiple roles, responsibilities, and cultural expectations. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence‑based therapy. I integrate Brainspotting for trauma processing and nervous system regulation, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution‑Focused Therapy to help clients reduce anxiety, build coping skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change. As a culturally attuned therapist, I believe therapy should honor your lived experience—not a one‑size‑fits‑all model. My goal is to create a supportive, affirming space where you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges with resilience, clarity, and confidence.

My journey to becoming a therapist was deeply personal. For a long time, I struggled to find my true meaning and purpose on this earth. That changed entirely when I began working with individuals with cognitive disabilities. Witnessing their resilience and realizing that I could make a tangible, positive impact in someone’s life gave me a profound motivation to live and thrive. It sparked a passion for human connection that shapes everything I do today. I believe that the most impactful therapy starts with a genuine, down-to-earth connection. As a LMFT, my approach is less about being a rigid mentor and more about being a trusted, supportive collaborator. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and truly comfortable—much like talking with a close friend who has the professional tools to help you navigate life's challenges. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and individuals in their 20s and 30s who are navigating life transitions, relationship dynamics, and identity development. Additionally, I bring a unique and deeply patient perspective to my practice as the founder of a company that specializes in relationship training for individuals with cognitive disabilities. This background has honed my ability to meet clients exactly where they are, offering exceptional patience, tailored communication, and practical tools for building healthy connections. Whether you are working through personal growth, relationship hurdles, or everyday stress, we will work together at a pace that feels right for you.

I've been a licensed psychotherapist for 14 years, and I love this work. I am grateful to be able to assist people in becoming their best selves and recreating their lives. Though a client may share a diagnosis with millions, each person has their own unique source and very individual path to wellness. It's an honor to assist clients on this journey. I focus on therapies that will help you gain knowledge and agency within your self. I offer in person counseling in the East Bay area of San Francisco, as well as therapy while walking.

Sometimes understanding our struggles isn't enough to create lasting change. I help clients slow down, recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and develop a deeper connection with themselves. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years' experience supporting clients through anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions and relationship struggles. I believe therapy is a space to slow down, feel understood, and explore what's happening beneath the surface through holistic approaches.

I am a board-certified Music Therapist and licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 14 years of experience, serving clients across California and Colorado. My own journey informs my work: I grew up in California and built a successful business before transitioning my life to Colorado. I then spent two years as a digital nomad—traveling by car across the US and living abroad for 1.5 years—all while managing and growing my business. I understand how to maintain excellence while in motion, and I use an IFS-informed somatic and creative approach to help you find that same internal groundedness and freedom.

My style is warm, thoughtful, and grounded in the belief that healing begins with being truly seen and heard.

I’m a therapist who primarily works with men dealing with relationship struggles, trauma, and anxiety that’s started to affect work, family, and daily life. I’ve worked in a men’s trauma center as well as in private practice, so I’m very comfortable sitting with the heavier stuff that most guys have learned to keep to themselves. My style is direct, non‑judgmental, and very relational, think real conversation, honest feedback, and a focus on what actually helps you feel and live better, not just “talking about your feelings” for an hour.

Hi there! Welcome to my practice! Being a therapist is not just a job for me, it is a calling. I discovered that I wanted to become a therapist later in life and so bring a wealth of my own lived experience and knowledge to my practice. My curiosity and thirst for knowledge in this field seems to be unending. I have worked in a community clinic, at Kaiser Permanente, and a private practice for over 16 years. I have also had the pleasure of supervising associate therapists and taught at the University of San Francisco for six years in their Master’s level Counseling Psychology Program. I hope you will inquire and book an intake appointment with me!

I have always had a passion for the human experience. This and the experience of a colorful life have inspired me to commit my life to helping others. I believe myself to be a warm, authentic, empathetic and nonjudgemental human. This helps me to show up for you in the ways you need. I have found my life has prepared me to helping individuals and couples with symptoms like anxiety, depression, trauma and stage of life transitions. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults, men and women.
