Sage Leitson

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, trauma, and relational struggles. Specializing in working with those navigating active substance use, gender identity questions and those healing from primary or family of origin relationships that were exploitive, invalidating, dysregulating, and have created a daily reality where you do not trust yourself. I hold space for the complexity, fear, and hope that come with releasing old habits and creating new ones.

Kathleen Wonacott

I've worked in the mental health field for over 15 years. I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression and parenting/postpartum.

Dr. Rona PsyD

Many of my clients see me for support with managing their chronic pain or illness. Others are looking to heal from trauma, anxiety, or burnout. I’m deeply committed to working with diverse & marginalized communities. I often meet with women of color, professionals from immigrant families, and trans and gender expansive folks. I'm also passionate about helping fellow AAPI folks navigate difficult family and cultural dynamics, or challenge the inner critic & imposter syndrome at work.

Vera Fleischer

One thing that a lot of my clients have in common is a harsh inner critic. This critic can affect your self-esteem, cause anxiety or depression or both, or hold you back from pursuing your dreams. I look at the inner critic is as a part of you. I want to make space for other parts of you that aren't as dominant so that you can thrive. I also connect well with people who have experienced childhood emotional neglect, meaning that it was difficult to form a solid trusting bond with your caregivers.

Rori Sante

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore your goals and rediscover your power. I work with individuals navigating concerns like queer and trans issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, PnP/chemsex, relationships, attachment, disability, and neurodivergence. I take an intersectional approach, recognizing how oppression and stigma shape mental health and fostering resilience to drive meaningful change.

Taylor Simon

You have the map, I'll hold the flashlight - together we will gain a holistic understanding of how your life experiences have impeded you - so far - from self-actualizing. Clients who resonate with me are often neurdivergent, traumatized, kinky or queer, maybe Jewish individuals who are proficient survivors who aren't sure how to take the next step and thrive. If you were a black sheep, parentified child, or just want to heal your nervous system I'm here for you. You deserve to flourish!

Shianling Weeks

You're deeply caring, creative, and curious. And you feel stuck, not good enough, overwhelmed, hurting. Disconnected from the life you want. You may be in numbness and slowly suffocating in a deep hole. You may find yourself shutting down and avoiding things that are usually important to you. You may be facing a big life change that throws your sense of who you are. You could be struggling to start a family, or dealing with scary thoughts and emotional pain in pregnancy, postpartum, or beyond.

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.

Abby Weintraub

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.

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?”

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.

Rebekah Smith

There comes a point for many of us when we realize that we don’t want to face our problems alone. We are human after all, and a part of what defines that humanity is our need for each other. I understand how frightening it can be to let people in and get close. You may tend to give more than you get back. You might feel self-critical. You might not know what it is you're needing. I'm here to join you and to help you find the connection and purpose you may be seeking.
