Exhausted by the way you think about yourself? We are often (if not always) our own worst enemies. Whether this pattern has caused you problems with guilt, shame, anxiety, depression, addiction or you name it - the starting point is generally the same. When we embark on the project of therapy you will be asked to put your painful thoughts and feelings into words. As the process unfolds, the strength and fervor used to overthink and condemn yourself will become accessible to use productively in reaching your goals.

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.

Hello! I'm Chris Brown, Marriage and Family Therapist. My initial training and experience as a counselor were in college, where I was both a Residence Assistant and Hall Coordinator. While I enjoyed and felt gratified from that work, I graduated to embark on a 25 year career in software development. Throughout that time, I volunteered as both a suicide and crisis counselor, and a domestic violence educator and counselor. I realized that my most fulfilling work was when I was coaching and managing my teams and that, over time, I had increased the time I spent as a counselor and teacher. I finally decided to change my career to the one I had been incrementally working toward, one where the focus and the goal are to connect with, support and help other people. As a therapist, I worked in Fremont, Berkeley and Contra Costa mental health systems as well as for a non-profit organization devoted to treating and helping victims of domestic violence. I've also been a therapist for, and managed therapists in, a large health care provider. I have experience with patients with severe mental illness, with survivors of abuse, and with people who realize that they simply can't continue to live like they've been living. My practice emphasizes patients learning and using cognitive behavioral, brief therapy, mindfulness, acceptance and somatic skills. While I might initially help my patients get through crisis and stabilization, I like to expand treatment to include helping my patients build increased resiliency through using solid coping skills. Along the way, I help my patients envision their preferred self and way of living. which they start to realize using their new skills.
