I have over eight years of experience working within the mental health community and have been providing therapy for over five years for young adults and adolescents. I work with a variety of issues such as day-to-day stressors, depression, anxiety, and life transitions.

Nicholas Seibel

Do you struggle with childhood trauma? Addiction? Lgbtq issues? Living neurodivergent? Does it affect your everyday life? Your workplace? Your relationships? Your family? Your wants and desires? Do you feel overwhelmed? Lost? Exhausted? Not understood? Judged? It makes sense. Overcoming a life of pain and suffering is not easy and I understand this is difficult to do, asking for support. I practice what i preach here and have my own support so I am aware of both sides of this experience.

Connor Tindall

My clients come to therapy for a wide variety of reasons. Many struggle with depression, anxiety, or past trauma. Others require assistance through difficult circumstances, such as relationship issues, life transitions, grief, and work or academic stress. Others feel lost and unsure of where to go next in life. All of them want relief, and all of them wish to be understood. I strive to help them in an understanding and compassionate way.

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.

Catherine Ferreira-Babor

I understand that starting therapy with a total stranger takes a leap of faith. You hope that you will feel better but you can't help but worry that you wont. While I treat a variety of issues, a universal element of my work has to do with helping people see that their "problems" are not insurmountable, nor are they evidence that they are weak, stupid, or damaged. It may not come naturally to you to feel compassion for yourself but I hope that through me you will see that you deserve it.

Kathleen Wonacott

Most of us experience anxiety at some point in our lives. It becomes a problem when we get so stuck in this feeling we have a hard time seeing things for what they really are. Maybe you are feeling anxiety physically, or you are noticing it by where your mind trails off to. On paper, you may look like you are doing well, but underneath it all, things are falling apart. With anxiety and any other emotional concern you may have, I like to look deeper at what’s going on underneath it.

I partner with folks in navigating anxiety, PTSD, substance use harm reduction, gender alignment, and other areas of concern. I tend to connect most effectively with folks who are: queer, trans, questioning, fellow helping professionals, neurodivergent, artists, creatives, highly sensitive, witchy, and/or spiritually inclined. I enjoy working with folks who practice kink, BDSM, nonmonogamy, and/or radical monogamy.

Discover the links between trauma and achievement. Skillfully navigate narcissistic relationships and family estrangement.

Philip Gnilka

My clients are very hard working, have a long track record of success, and care deeply about their work, friends, and family. Even so, life can be challenging. Many of my clients had a bad day and are still emotionally beating themselves up for minor mistakes. They constantly replay what they should have done differently sometimes for days and weeks at a time. They become frustrated they cannot let go of this self-criticalness and even have thoughts they are not good enough or are a fraud.
