Pleasanton Therapists specializing in Depression

Rebecca Scott, PsyD

In addition to the many problems that complicate our daily lives such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, patients come to me with complex relationship issues including marital distress, divorce recovery, verbal & emotional abuse, loss of child, parent, or spouse. The holistic approach that I use will address the root problem, not just the symptoms. I offer perspective on your experience, and provide clear, concise directions on meeting your treatment goals.

Walking (or drowning) in grief from any source makes it hard to get anything done let alone enjoy anything. Sometimes we go from feeling way too much pain to feeling nothing and being numb. Grief is a huge transition that no one wants to go through but we all face it. You're in the right spot to get help and start sorting through this complex mess, start finding what works for you and what doesn't and getting some relief from this huge flood of stress & emotions.

Christine Ibarra

I specialize in two main types of clients - those who require a deep understanding of trauma and those with neurodivergent characteristics; think military Veterans and the ASD population. My clients are trying to make sense of their lives through a conversational exploration style that is far from cold or clinical. I am simply here to create a truly safe space for you to explore your thoughts, help you process experiences, and begin to enjoy life again.

Jay Butterfield

My clients are women, teens and families who want to feel less anxious, depressed. They are people interested in understanding what emotional blocks are getting in the way of their happiness. They are people who want to learn personalized emotional communication skills which can lead to reaching personal and professional goals.

I specialize in working with those who identify as neurodivergent, gender nonconforming, LGBTQIA+, sex positive, polyamorous, or within the bdsm and leather communities. Prospective clients may be seeking to understand their gender/sexual identities, how to work with their neurodivergent brains, or desirous of working through complex childhood trauma through inner child healing and exploration.

Alexa Levine

My clients are pregnant, postpartum or parents of young children and toddlers. I especially enjoy supporting clients in navigating changing relationships, lifestyles and other transitions during this time in their lives. I work collaboratively with clients to determine goals for therapy and use a strength based approach to incorporate the client's natural strengths into practical coping skills, as well as strengthen self compassion, self esteem, and confidence.

Liliana Ramos

You might be feeling as if you're drowning, feeling anxious, or sad. Memories haunt you. When those thoughts come, you feel overwhelmed, find yourself with heart palpitations, sweating, headache, and possibly crying. You feel hopeless, exhausted, on edge, overextended, and stressed. You find yourself overthinking and struggling with life. There is no safety in the world. These are affecting your relationships and work.

Shelly Crosby

I have a warm, direct, and genuine style and I primarily use CBT approaches. I believe that we all have the capacity for growth and change, regardless of what we have been through or how long we have struggled. I will strive to understand your life experiences and personal/family/cultural values, so we can work together to reach your goals in therapy.

Ji Eun Ko

I specialize in working with people who hold an intersection of their identity that experiences oppression, racism, erasure, and marginalization. That may be your cultural identity, your sexual identity, or even the ways you are different from the family that raised you. And maybe you're struggling with your sense of self, a traumatic past, or unhealthy relationship patterns. Perhaps you feel out of control with depression and anxiety, and cultural tension. You are looking in the right place.

Christina Vasquez

Ever felt alone in a crowded room? Had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to cry? Have thoughts that keep you up at night? You are not alone, many struggle with depression and anxiety daily. These struggles cause poor performance at work, poor concentration in school and cause us to say things that we don’t mean to the ones that we love. In therapy, I can help you identify ways to improve your quality of life and create a safe space for you to overcome the barriers preventing your success.

Brian La Roy Jones

Don't you agree life should be about more than just feeling *less* anxious, depressed, angry or conflict? I'm not in the “symptom reduction” business – like most therapists. Rather my focus is helping clients like you experience MORE. Picture experiencing not just less of something but more hope, love, connection, self-control, happiness, fulfillment, freedom, confidence, affection, compassion, trust, acceptance, validation, & feeling understood. Can you imagine what that would be like for you?

Online Therapy

Jess Piasecki

I take a strong approach in trauma informed work, and our relationship to intimacy, vulnerability, and conflict in patterns of attachment. Self-regulation skills, re-establishing the relationship with the body, and dissociative experiences are often relevant when reprocessing difficult experiences. Doing this creates agency and builds new neural pathways. Some specialties of focus are grief, post traumatic stress, self-harm, addiction, family stress, dissociative disorders, and codependency.

Laura Khoury

My clients often struggle to cope with stress, depression, and/or anxiety and are ready for a change. They have a hard time managing difficult emotions and interactions with family members. I help youth who: feel irritable, constantly worry, experience school/work stress or decline, have difficulty focusing or completing tasks, have difficulty sleeping, struggle to communicate without escalation or shutting down, and/or drink, use substances, have suicidal thoughts, and/or self-harm.

Lauren Magana

Every person’s behavior is multi-faceted and comes from a variety of sources — it is our unique stories, histories and experiences all mixed together. This combination colors what we learn, the way we learn, and how we grow. I provide therapy to individuals, couples, and children and families, to support understanding of where behaviors come from and how these behaviors impact relationships, with the goal of supporting greater connection and sustainable change.

Amanda Rebel

Maybe you’re tired of feeling isolated, stuck, or in despair. Your mind may be working overtime, leaving you unbalanced, stressed, confused. You may feel burnt out from trying to manage your moods, thoughts or worries--on your own. Despite being sensitive, caring, and hardworking, you still don't feel like you are making lasting life changes. You may grapple with low energy, hard life adjustments, or feelings of guilt, shame or sadness. You are desperate for change, yet are also scared of it.

Online Therapy

Stefanie Rodewald

Have you been experiencing more anxiety lately? Is the negative self-talk getting louder and getting harder to manage?  That inner voice can really put you down and leave you in a state of overwhelm. 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.

Nancy Mullin

You may be the parent of a teen trying to find support for your child, or you may be in your 20's trying to sort out painful experiences you've had and where you hope to go. You may be looking for family therapy with an experienced therapist who can help to sort out difficult dynamics and conflict. You may identify as queer, a person of color, or another marginalized identity. You may work in harm reduction or as a provider in community and non-profit spaces. If so, I hope to provide support.

OSun Yoo

I believe that you are the expert on yourself, and together, we can work on reconnecting with that "you" at your best. At times, we lose sight of ourselves; we take on too much, we skip meals, sacrifice sleep, and simply don't take care of ourselves. We lose our connection to our innate "superpowers" and we need to reset, reboot and restart. We will address self-care, sleep hygiene, mindfulness, boundary setting, and exploring and increasing wellness in your life.
