Hello, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the Bay Area in California. I received my MA in counseling psychology in 2018 and have been providing therapy since 2017. I am holistically trained and have an orientation towards alternative medicine, mind/body and natural/traditional healing. I focus primarily on adults dealing with a variety of issues: men's
(I have done additional research on men's issues) and women's issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress management, interpersonal skills/relationships, healing unresolved trauma and others. I also enjoy supporting people in discovering their life purpose, connecting with their passions and creating lives of meaning and fulfillment. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, elders and couples.

Many have spent a long time adapting, performing, or taking care of others, while feeling unsure how to care for themselves in a deep and lasting way. They need a therapist who can offer both warmth and structure: someone who helps them feel emotionally safe while also giving them practical tools. and meaningful insight.
Hello! I am Dr. Efrain Zepeda. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Social Worker. In the past 23 years of working as a mental health professional, one important lesson I have learned is that the most powerful therapeutic intervention is found in the interpersonal experience that occurs in the client-therapist relationship. Together we can analyze the past to co-create a new meaning to achieve healing. I strongly believe that therapy is not about labeling or judging, but rather about personal discovery.
