Rachel Coen

My clients come to therapy because they want to make changes but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsupported. They often identify as women, LGBTQIA+, and/or neurodivergent, and may be navigating issues like: disabilities; chronic health conditions; life transitions; career changes; seeking work-life balance in demanding careers; and exploring identity and meaning. If you often feel like an outsider, struggle to accept yourself, or are just plain struggling, let's connect - you deserve support.

Laura Vidal

Anxiety can present itself in many ways—from persistent worry and uncontrollable fear to physical symptoms like a racing heart, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. When anxiety becomes disordered, it can make daily responsibilities and social interactions incredibly challenging. When trapped in cycles of doubt and uncertainty, it is difficult to see a way forward. I provide a judgment-free environment where you'll receive support through compassionate insight and thoughtful guidance.

Hayley Schmidt

I guide individuals through difficult transitions toward living without limiting beliefs, doubts, and insecurities. We often mistake our limiting beliefs as truths about ourselves. Once we learn to meet ourselves with love and kindness, we start to heal. I'm here to guide you through your obstacles to clarity and inner freedom. In our work together, I will help you to create balance, overcome suffering and find a deeper sense of meaning in your life.

Juan Carlos Zepeda

You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, disconnected from yourself or others, or weighed down by past experiences. You seek deeper awareness, relief from emotional burdens, and a greater sense of connection and ease. Whether you're navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, or identity exploration, therapy can be a space to process, integrate, and reclaim what has felt lost or out of reach.

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.

Eliza Liittschwager

Starting therapy can be a daunting process. It’s hard to be vulnerable and to give voice to the feelings and experiences that bring us discomfort, pain or shame. And, therapy can be incredibly rewarding. Creating meaning out of our dark and painful experiences is a transformative process. That’s why I got into this work.

Brooke Van Oosbree

Many of my clients are facing a crossroads when they begin therapy - embarking on parenthood, rethinking career choices; both craving and dreading a change. They are often struggling with anxiety in its many forms - panic, OCD, perfectionism, phobias, avoidance, etc. I also offer neurodiversity-affirming psychological assessments for adults exploring possible diagnoses or seeking better understanding of their emotional functioning and neurotype strengths and challenges.

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.

Jennifer Jackson

We’ll work together to process trauma, soothe anxiety, lift depression, and improve relationships, allowing you to reconnect with yourself and those who matter most.

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.

Jonathan Lee

You’ve survived a complicated childhood or past with minimal or inconsistent support, and remnants of your past influence or take over the present. It’s rare to feel safe / settled enough with others / out in the world. Cycles of heightened stress and shutting down keep you feeling stuck. You’re self-aware (perhaps even knowledgeable about your struggles), but need support taking actionable steps towards deep / lasting transformation and healing. Sound familiar? Specialized help is available!

Micah Rea

I am passionate about providing a space for people to be celebrated for being their authentic selves. I honor and respect the strategies clients have learned that support them in coping and surviving. Together, we can develop more awareness of how these coping strategies and patterns serve you, and when it is supportive, work to find new ways of relating with yourself and others.

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.
