Ella Mamanta Davidson

I especially enjoy working with people who identify as: BIPOC &/or mixed-race; queer &/or of marginalized genders; highly sensitive, introverts, deep feelers; creatives & artists. I find my style is well suited to support clients with: anxiety, codependency, relationship dynamics, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, identity exploration, strong inner critics, perfectionism, burnout & sustainability, building connection to authentic self.

Relevant Steps

We specialize in addressing the issues of men, women, and teens who have experienced trauma and give very careful consideration to the differences in the therapeutic needs of men and women. We help you develop the skills you need to start down a new path, with particular emphasis on building resilience, teaching individuals how to establish networks of social support, and assisting you with learning strategies to regulate anger and other unwanted emotions.

Elese Lorentzen

Does everyday life feel burdensome? Are you feeling stuck but ready to work towards meaningful change in your life? I’m ready to help you. I’m a psychotherapist who works with adults who have experienced trauma, depression, & anxiety. To address these issues, I recommend using EMDR, somatic practices & psychodynamic (inner child work) interventions. I have deep knowledge of dynamics that you may be facing, including narcissistic abuse, complex trauma (CPTSD), emotional incest, codependency, etc.

Courtland McPherson

You are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled. Maybe your relationship feels like it is crashing and burning. Or maybe you feel like you friend circle has shrunk or that you are the last person standing with no romantic prospects. Maybe you are a parent just trying to get through the day. You have lost motivation, direction, and a sense of purpose. You are not sure when it started but you do not feel the same. Maybe you just feel alone and the voice in your head is saying “what is wrong?”

Abby Weintraub

I work primarily with folks who are: neurodivergent (e.g. autistic, ADHD, or other), chronically ill/disabled (particularly with autoimmune illnesses), queer/LGBTQIAA2S, sexual/gender outsiders, fat-identified and/or hoping to develop a more loving relationship with their body, sex workers, poly folks, and those in non-traditional relationship and family structures. If you've ever been told that you're too much, too negative, or too "in your head," let's talk. I welcome you exactly as you are.

Jennie Beuhler

Do the “shoulds” dictate your every move? Are you a “people pleaser” putting the needs and wants of others in front of yours? Do you constantly take care of others at the expense of yourself? Do you frequently second guess or doubt yourself? Doing these things means we ignore our own wants, needs and values. Living out of alignment with yourself leads to feeling lost, discontent, anxious, low self-esteem, disconnected, unfulfilled, regret, resentment, or grief.

Heather Buchheim

I work with individual adults, teens, and partners across monogamous and non-monogamous relationship configurations and within the BDSM spectrum. I specialize in working with fellow activists, therapists and healers, misfits, creatives, doers, and more. I’m committed to serving individuals across racial backgrounds, abilities, genders, and sexual orientations who may have been underserved or harmed by the field of psychotherapy.

Theo Kuczek

You're looking for someone who will be straight with you. You like to be educated about psychological concepts to understand and support your growth and healing inside and outside of sessions. You want someone who sees your uniqueness and helps you dissipate the shame with ways you may feel insecure or inadequate. You want your therapist to be a real person with you in session, someone who shares stories about their own experience in life if it helps you grow.

Kathy Brady

Life in the Bay Area is challenging and the additional stress associated with being LGBTQ+, a woman, pregnancy, parenting or all of the above can push it over the edge. High levels of stress can interfere with relationships, parenting, work, self-care and health. Therapy can support you in cultivating a sense of well-being and balance in your life as well as help you overcome specific mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and addictive behaviors.

Jamie Kellenberger

I work best with clients who want to go deep to address: • Depression, isolation, or overwhelm • Grief and loss • Anxiety • Perfectionism & inner critic • Finding new ways to cope • Difficulty in intimate relationships • Trauma • Burnout

Tim Holtzman

Have you previously undergone therapy, but didn’t get the results you wanted? Are you a pragmatic person who values an approach that establishes well-defined objectives and delivers tangible outcomes? Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a potent form of therapy that empowers you the client to directly transform emotions and behaviors. The greatest advantage of IFS therapy is its establishment of clear, measurable goals right from the start. Which allows you to observe the progress you make.

Phoenix Song

I love working with Queer and Trans folks who feel things deeply and intuitively, are curious about spirituality, who are social justice oriented, and who feel a calling to bring their gifts and offerings into this world! I also specialize in supporting folx who are seeking deeper healing of trauma and oppression. I offer limited sliding scale spots for LGBTTSQIA activists, chronically ill/disabled folx, and BIPOC.

Stefanie Rodewald

Are you finding yourself overwhelmed most days? Do you tend to put others needs before your own? Maybe you feel the weight of the negative self-talk getting louder and harder to manage. That inner voice can really put you down and leave you in a state of constant stress. Speaking from experience, the internal battle can feel quite isolating. If this resonates, my hope is to guide you through the messy world of emotions and help give you an experience of what it means to hold yourself in love.
