Pleasant Hill Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

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.

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?

You worry you aren’t doing things right and you’re burdened with challenges that keep you stuck. As this overwhelm grows bigger it's hard to be your authentic self, act upon your gifts, and form meaningful relationships. You shy away from taking risks and you're nervous to be real with others. Let's discover together how to reconnect with your values and reclaim the life you want to live.

Dr. Jean-Arellia Tolentino

My clients tend to be badass, kind, and maybe not know it! They are, or aspiring to be: generational cycle breakers, healing attachment wounds, or seeking alignment with one's values. Are you curious about building insight or ways to self/collectively care? Perhaps we're a fit if you're seeking a therapist who believes and works from a feminist liberation approach, has experience working towards building healthy familial dynamics, and integrates a whole-person & holistic approach to care.

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.

Holding it together on the outside but feel VERY different inside? Do you feel gripped by anxiety, self-doubt, anger, dread, fear, or numbness? Having thoughts that you are not enough, or too much, or that you have to be perfect? There is a reason this is happening. Getting to know yourself takes time and intention - and often the support of a confident guide. You can love what it feels like to come home to your life.

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?”

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.

Vanessa Tate

My approach anchored in somatic awareness is especially effective for those who are curious and committed to exploring maladaptive patterns in their life choices and their relationships. I assist adults to deepen their coping with overwhelming emotions, complex trauma, anxiety, codependence, abusive family systems and spiritual inquiries. I help couples learn conflict resolution skills, attunement, emotional intimacy and explore commitment agreements including separating respectfully.

Thomas Meade

Often, our past relationships leave us wounded. The story that we tell ourselves becomes permeated with negative thoughts, low self-worth, and shame. As these feelings manifest, we become anxious and depressed. We might experience isolation, loneliness, and a loss of connection to others and to ourselves. Therapy can help us discover perspectives that create a new narrative, one in which we have different ways to manage our emotions and lead a more enjoyable life.

Antje Hofmeister

Your unique perspective, identity, and culture are the basis for our work together. You will find safe and non-judgmental support in coping with symptoms of anxiety and depression and in managing key areas of your life, including relationships with family members and partners, and career.

Emily Pellegrino

Being part of the LGBTQ+ community can be beautiful, exciting, challenging, and heartbreaking which makes finding a LGBTQ+ friendly therapist that much more important. You might be questioning your sexuality. You might wonder where you fit in. You might simultaneously love your queer life, but feel like an outsider from your biological family or the rest of the world. Being part of the LGBTQ+ community might only be one part of who you are and it might not be why you’re coming to therapy at all.

Have you found yourself locked in a pattern of relating that leads again and again to the same negative, frustrating or unsatisfying outcomes? I help couples or individuals identify and alter these patterns, often with insight into how they developed in the first place, leading to happier and more fulfilling relationships and lives.
