Pleasanton Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Sasha Reiisieh

Do you ever feel like you’re overreacting—but deep down, you know it’s something old that just got stirred up again? Maybe you’re the one who always keeps it together, but inside you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or carrying pain no one sees. You grew up being the strong one, the responsible one, the peacemaker. Now you’re realizing that the past is still quietly shaping your relationships, your parenting, your self-worth. You’re ready to heal—and I’m here for that work.

Michael Larson

Many people I work with are drawn to this process because it makes space for what doesn’t fit neatly into words or expectations. Often neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, creative, spiritually curious, or in roles of holding space for others, they feel deeply, think expansively, and carry questions of identity, grief, or meaning. Many have learned to navigate life by masking, accommodating, or holding too much alone. We make space for what’s layered, unclear, or tender—without needing to explain or fix.

Taryn Weinkam

I'm here for those who are ready to work on increasing awareness, processing relevant past events, and building a life that is aligned with their values. I guide people to tune into their bodies, regulate their breathing, and strengthen intuition. I have an open, curious, and nonjudgmental approach as it is important that you feel safe and seen. Let's talk about culture, traditions, and ancestral lineage. Let's gieve and heal from all the ways in which this world has broken your heart.

Alisia Murphy

You’re a woman (cis, trans, gender-fluid) who shows up for others in work, family, and community. You’re deeply attuned to those around you, yet long for a space where your own needs are held with the same care you give so freely. You may be a therapist, teacher, artist, auntie, or quiet caregiver. You might long to reconnect with yourself, to unravel, and be met with deep compassion. I see you. You don’t have to be the strong one here.

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, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, or identity exploration, therapy can be a space for you to process, integrate, and reclaim what has felt lost or out of reach.

Chelsie Crilly

My clients typically feel like they are “too much”, their emotions are “too big”, and they are “too sensitive”. I invite clients to shift their thinking, and believe they are “enough” through a variety of approaches (see “my approach”). My clients are usually seeking treatment in order to increase their ability to “swim in the sea of emotions”, improve relationships with loved ones, and improve executive functioning skills (such as time management, accomplishing their to-do-list, ect).

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!

Less self-editing and more sharing of your inner world. You’re feeling brave. It’s time to explore uncharted waters - even if it feels scary. You want to be compassionate toward yourself, even the parts of you that feel hard to love. You’re open to change.

Yelena Blank

Are you very good at "holding it together" but never giving yourself space to just be? Have you learned to avoid challenging emotions as a way of coping with them, but not to actually process? Do you find yourself tossing and turning at night as all those thoughts you've been holding at bay come flooding in? We can work on that. Anxiety, insomnia, trauma -- all of these have effective treatments that can help you take the space you need to actually heal.

I enjoy helping individuals who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, life transitions, as well as those who want to overcome various symptoms of trauma. Often people I work with are seeking more peace, empowerment, and healthier relationships with others and with themselves. In this, my aim is to help individuals feel more confident, attuned to themselves, and kinder to parts of themselves, even those that can be hard to accept.
