Therapist Directory

My view is that life’s triumphs and challenges are just too painful and too beautiful to bear alone. I see the role of therapist in our increasingly isolated modern society as that of witness, guide, collaborator and companion along the way. If you're looking for support with trauma, grief & loss, life transitions, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or embodiment, or you just feel drawn to working with me, don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to hear from you.

My role as a psychotherapist is to help clients acknowledge and harness their innate strengths, enabling them to attain and sustain the well-being they are searching for. What holds us back? What keeps us returning to habitual patterns that limit us? How can we heal from past experiences or learn to cope with current life challenges? Together we will examine your life from many vantage points, with compassion and curiosity. By expanding how you view yourself, relate to others, and respond to difficult circumstances, new possibilities will emerge.

My areas of expertise include:
• Cultivating self-compassion to combat shame, self-criticism, and threats to self worth
• Advocating for the unique issues LGBTQ individuals face
• Understanding and coping with depression and anxiety
• Examining the causes and harmful cycles of addiction and codependency
• Exploring intimacy concerns for individuals and couples
• Supporting clients coping with grief and loss
• Building resilience while navigating life transitions
• Embracing cross-cultural differences and attachment patterns in couples
• Working with childhood trauma

Being a human in the state of the world right now feels distinctly impossible. We are living through challenging conditions – to say the least – while being expected to navigate our day-to-day life as though nothing is happening. If this has left you feeling burned out, overwhelmed, angry, or anxious, you are not alone.

The antidote to living in a world that often feels impossible, is connection. That is where I come in. I work relationally with clients to foster self-awareness, engage in self exploration, and cultivate hope – for not just surviving, but thriving.

Hi there, I’m Samantha (she/her). I am a mixed-race, queer social worker and therapist living on Muwekma and Confederated Villages of Lisjan Territory. Currently, I offer individual telehealth to residents of California and Oakland walk-and-talk therapy. I have always held a deep passion for connecting with people through the mess and beauty that is being human. I arrived to therapy work from a lifetime of exploring and witnessing healing in communities, families, individuals, and myself. I show up in the therapy space as an ally in peoples’ journeys, honored to be present with their vulnerability and transformation. I am Bay Area-born and raised, with Japanese and European roots. Walking near bodies of water, knitting, and my cats (who enjoy popping into the telehealth background) fill my cup these days.

You’re not broken, though at times in life we can feel that way. It can be difficult, but reaching out for support is the first step to feeling like life is working again. I work with individuals and couples to help facilitate their process of living a fuller, deeper, more authentic, and balanced life, through Mindfulness Based and Somatic Psychotherapy. It’s an honor to sit with my clients and be a part of their journey.

Everyone encounters feelings of dissatisfaction and confusion in their life, questioning their choices, their direction, or even who they are at the core. I provide a calm, nonjudgmental space for you to share the things that trouble you. Especially the things that are hard to share, or the parts of you that you may not feel good about. I work to help you see how what you feel makes sense, making connections to past experiences, and coming to new self-understanding and acceptance.

Down to earth, big sister type. If you want to go deep to fix the problem at the root, I’m your girl.

Hi, I’m AJ. I’m a white, queer, neurodivergent therapist who works with adults, youth, and people in intimate partnerships. I specialize in supporting people navigating trauma, identity, and relationships. I strive to show up with warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for your lived experience — and with a commitment to care, relational integrity, and mutual accountability.

I hold a personal understanding that healing is not linear — often messy — and can be nurtured not only in therapy, but also through connection and community. I’m especially passionate about working with queer and trans communities, people in recovery, and those living with the impacts of complex trauma, systemic harm, and neurodivergence in a society that often pathologizes difference and prioritizes productivity over care.

My approach is collaborative and relational — rooted in nervous system awareness, emotional insight, self-reflection, and clarity in thought and behavior. I welcome all kinds of relationship structures and family systems, and strive to work at a pace that prioritizes safety and sustainability.

If you’re seeking a therapist who values integrity, compassion, and complexity — I’d be honored to connect.

Sometimes life can leave us feeling uncertain about ourselves, our relationships, or the journey ahead. I hold space for those who are:

‣ Managing anxiety and ongoing stress
‣ Addressing self-esteem & confidence concerns
‣ Navigating challenging life transitions
‣ Exploring personal identity
‣ Seeking to heal from unhealthy generational patterns and attachment wounds
‣ Working through relationship and/or interpersonal challenges
‣ Facing complex family dynamics

Together, we’ll create a space where you can explore the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that shape your life. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, navigating change, seeking deeper self-understanding, or working through complex family and relationship dynamics, therapy offers an opportunity to uncover what truly matters to you. We’ll approach your journey with curiosity and compassion, helping you heal old patterns and pain, strengthen your sense of self, and move toward greater clarity, connection, and balance.

Being raised in an immigrant, working class family taught me the value of respect, humility, and looking out for one another. I carry these values in any space I operate in, whether it’s in my own family, community, and my professional space. I know that it can be a struggle to reach out for help when you might be disconnected from yourself and others, which is why I value any person that reaches out to me.

As a first-generation person of color raised in East Los Angeles and of immigrant parents from Mexico, it has been a healing journey for me to work through my own trauma to be fully present and genuine with any one I am working with. I am here to help you address issues pertaining to your past, present, and future self to heal and begin to take the steps in breaking negative generational cycles.

Hi, I’m Candace (she/her). I offer therapy for individuals and couples who want to deepen self-understanding, heal old wounds, and feel more connected in their relationships. My approach is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that every part of us has wisdom to share.

I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where you can look beneath the surface to uncover the emotions, beliefs, and experiences that shape your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. By gently examining the different parts of ourselves—the hopes, fears, wounds, and strengths—we gain valuable insight and self-awareness. This deeper understanding empowers you to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and resilience.

Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you reconnect with your own strength, your voice, and your ability to create meaningful change. As you build a deeper relationship with yourself, you’ll find more clarity in how you navigate challenges and more closeness in the relationships that matter most.

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed."
— Carl Jung

If you’ve found yourself here, you may be feeling the impact of relating with another. Connection—whether romantic, platonic, or familial—is essential to our well-being, yet it can be deeply challenging. I work with individuals, couples, and families to ease the tension that often arises in relationships.

I work well with people who:
- Want to improve communication during conflict
- Crave more depth, connection, and intimacy
- Feel heavy, anxious, stuck, or burnt out
- Have a creative spirit
- Are navigating polyamory or ethical non-monogamy

By slowing our automatic responses—whether in conflict with ourselves or others—we make space to ask: What’s really happening? What do I need? How can I express that clearly? In couples work: How can I share this in a way my partner can truly hear? When we name and express our needs and emotions, our relationships—with ourselves and others—grow stronger.

I offer trauma-informed psychotherapy to adults across the lifespan. With warmth, curiosity, and practicality, I will collaborate with you in our sessions to discover what healing and change look like for you.

I believe that you're the expert of your own experience and everyone has the capacity to grow, heal, and create meaningful change in their lives. A safe, trusting, and supportive therapeutic relationship allows for a dedicated space to explore, carefully unpack, and gain more tools to navigate whatever it is that brought you to therapy.

Whether it's learning how to better manage anxiety, move through a big transition, recover from a traumatic event, navigate the loss or death of a loved one, or adjust to a new or ongoing disability or medical condition, I will partner with you along your journey. Together, we can figure out the stuck places, help you identify what you want and need, and chart your path forward.

Hello/Bonjour, and bienvenue! I’m Tatiana Ecoiffier Davis (she/her/elle), a French-American registered associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). I offer psychotherapy in Berkeley (in person) and online across California, in both English and French. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, partners, and families.

Life is rich and complex, isn’t it? Some parts we can untangle on our own, and others are easier when shared with someone alongside. In therapy, I aim to be that companion for you. Together, we’ll create space for the full spectrum of human experience—smiles and laughter, as well as tears and quiet reflection.

If you’d like to talk further, I can be reached at 341-202-6464 or tatiana@tedtherapy.com. Congratulations on taking this important step to find a therapist who feels like a good fit—I wish you every success on your journey!

I am a trauma-informed, somatic psychotherapist offering in-person sessions in San Francisco and telehealth sessions to clients throughout California.

I strive to create a space rooted in trust, where you will feel safe to slow down and explore all parts of yourself, your strengths, and your challenges. As you share what troubles you, I will follow your lead with curiosity and compassion. Together, we will seek to understand why things are as they are so that you can know yourself more fully. This understanding is the beginning of acceptance, healing, and change.

As a mental health therapist, it is my desire to help you live your life to the fullest and healthiest potential. There is hope for positive change. You do not have to be stuck in unhealthy patterns or states of mind. I care deeply for each and every one of my clients. I would love to help you in your healing journey.

I am Nita - I have mixed heritage, mixed beliefs, and mixed practices, so I understand the importance of welcoming all parts of our identities to show up in our bodies and in the room. I practice a “both/and” model in my personal life and with my clients. When we welcome all parts of our identities, we promote integration of the whole person. I emphasize safety, authenticity, freedom, and vitality in all aspects of my life

I welcome folks from all walks of life and find that working somatically supports me to work with a variety of clients through their own direct experience of living in their body/bodies.

Hi, thank you for being here. My name is Irazema (ee-dah-seh-mah), and I am a registered associate clinical social worker (ACSW), certified mindfulness facilitator, community advocate, and lifelong learner. In my clinical practice, I support the work of healing generational trauma, grief and loss, honoring intersectional identities, examining the impact of social and political structures on a person’s overall well-being, and exploring individual and collective sources of nourishment and affirmation. I integrate mindfulness practices, Indigenous wisdom, and Earth-based rituals into my therapeutic approach. I encourage you to reach out to me if you are curious about what our work together may be like. También estoy disponible para consultas en español.

I offer somatic therapy for individuals & couples with a focus on attachment repair and trauma healing. I address relationship ambivalence, anxiety, life transition, depression, stuckness, conflict and communication, among other issues.

My style is warm and direct. I foster the development of safety and trust, so that together we can process what may be inaccessible or overwhelming to do alone.

Welcome! I’m Bella. Thank you for finding your way here. I am an integrative psychotherapist offering telehealth therapy throughout California.

I come to this work with a deep reverence for the human experience and the courage it takes to turn inward. I am passionate about supporting highly sensitive souls, and those navigating anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. As someone who is no stranger to the rocky terrain of the psyche, I know what it feels like to feel lost, scared, and longing for relief. And yet, even amidst the chaos, there is wisdom, clarity, and calm that can always be found. This, I hold as a deep truth. If you're carrying more than your heart knows what to do with, you don't have to carry it alone.

Hi there, I’m Sydney. I’m a San Francisco and Marin-based therapist who believes that your healing journey begins with the formation of a trusting therapeutic relationship—one where you feel comfortable exploring your inner world free from judgement.

If we choose to work together, my goal as your therapist is to create a warm and supportive space where you feel heard and deeply understood as you navigate your life’s challenges.

I work with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents seeking support for anxiety, depression, life transitions, PTSD, relationship struggles, attention and focus issues, grief and loss, substance use, parenting concerns, LGBTQ+ identity exploration, and the impacts of traumatic brain injury.

I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation so we can get a sense of one another. I offer in-office sessions in San Francisco, walk-and-talk therapy in San Francisco and Marin, and telehealth throughout California. I look forward to connecting with you.

I provide teens and adults a non-judgmental space to work through challenging and “messy” experiences such as anxiety, panic, depression, relationship issues, and disordered eating. Rather than grabbing the Clorox and trying to “fix” things, I help clients explore how and why their symptoms came to be. As clients better understand themselves, they often feel profoundly relieved and have greater capacity to try out new ways of managing challenges. Ultimately, I hope to help clients make peace with their complexities so they can feel and act more wholly themselves.

I’m a holistic spiritual therapist and practicing astrologer based in Sacramento, offering telehealth throughout California. I specialize in working with individuals who feel out of place in their environments, those experiencing spiritual awakenings, and anyone navigating deep personal transformation. My practice is a haven for empathetic, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent individuals, as well as mothers moving through the underworld of matrescence or on complex parenting journeys.

I work well with people who are healing from childhood trauma, breaking generational cycles, and seeking to reconnect with their authentic selves. Many of my clients are cycle breakers, spiritual seekers, or alternative healers doing the brave work of reclaiming their wholeness.

As a clinician, I bring warmth, intuition, and deep reverence for your story. I approach therapy as a sacred process of remembering, rooted in relational safety, depth, and spiritual curiosity. If you're feeling stuck, unseen, or amid profound change, you don't have to go through it alone. This work is about coming home to yourself.

I am a registered associate marriage and family therapist. Whether you’re navigating life’s transitions, dealing with the everyday challenges of life, or working through deeper emotional wounds, I offer a space for growth, healing, and transformation through telehealth throughout California. I work with individuals, families, and relationships to help you live in ways that reflect your highest potential.

My name is Jemma and I’m a holistic psychotherapist rooted in depth and transpersonal psychologies. I work with expecting, new, and seasoned mothers, individuals who seek deeper connection to spirit, who are struggling to find their passion or purpose, who are navigating a life transition, or who are experiencing anxiety, grief, or are dealing with the ripple effects of trauma. I also work with couples and parents who are needing help tending to their relationship and finding more connection and understanding with each other.

My approach is warm, nurturing, curious, and engaged. Being human can be hard, and we are not meant to manage everything we are experiencing and feeling on our own. My goal is to co-create a safe space for you to feel heard, seen, and witnessed through your journey of healing. Each person is unique with specific needs, and I am here to help you figure out what meeting those needs could feel like and how to create more balance and calm in your nervous system.

The pace and complexity of life these days can make it really hard to understand how or what we are feeling, and why we're feeling that way. Too often, we are urged to ignore or push away key needs and parts of ourselves in order to be - or do - what seems to be required of us. Somewhere in the midst of this, our relationships to ourselves can get eclipsed, murky, lost.

I offer therapy to re-integrate these key parts of you, so that you can address the challenges that you are up against with more self-understanding and insight; with your whole self.

My main goal as a therapist is to support my clients to become more present (live more consciously) while increasing the quality of their well-being. I believe both walk together.

I am interested in supporting my clients to have clarity around their motivations and longings and move towards what they want in life. Part of this work includes affirming my clients in their strengths, deeper knowing, intelligence and competences. Another part involves supporting my clients to become more aware of their unconscious patterns, conditionings, defense strategies, so they can have more freedom and choice in their lives.

I am a relational therapist with a strong orientation to somatic work. This means that the relationship between therapist and client offers a lot of information for the potential work to be done and opens new possibilities for the client's healing process. The somatic orientation means that attending to the physical and emotional bodies are core gateways to deepen the work and increase awareness.

In my office you will find a safe and comfortable space where I will follow your lead, and guide you to trust yourself. Somatic cues orient me to get behind my words and ground me into the safety of my body so that I can be present with you. My intention is to deeply listen and take in what you share, being present with you from my whole being and sharing what I experience in response. In service of your therapeutic goals, I will welcome all parts of you, making it easier for you to acknowledge them with loving compassion.

Together we will respect your pace, your nervous system and your sense of safety. We will likely use imagination, body-awareness, curiosity, and your self-knowing to navigate this uncharted path. Your therapeutic process, that takes shape as we get to know each other, can lead us to the YOU you want to be. Along the way, there are unknowns and it can feel vulnerable, an experience that may point us toward something new. You’ll likely find ways to celebrate your resilience, to be yourself in relationship, and to allow that which your body wisdom is designed to nurture.

My somatic training, especially in Relational Somatic Healing, teaches me that healing is possible for anyone who gives true connection a try - a try, even a little bit, in trusting a therapeutic relationship that feels congruent, comfortable and supportive. With time, I believe we’ll notice your “mind of aloneness” release its grip, your body/mind/spirit find more ease, and your fears get out of your own way.

You’re someone who’s used to showing up for others — the steady one, the responsible one, the person people rely on without thinking twice. But even the most capable people reach moments where life feels heavier than it looks from the outside. Maybe you’re a new parent trying to stay afloat in a sea of exhaustion and conflicting emotions. Maybe you’re a teen or young adult sorting through pressure, identity, and expectations that seem to shift by the day. Or maybe you’re a lifelong caregiver who suddenly realizes you’ve been running on empty for far too long.

My work is for people who feel caught in these in-between spaces — where you know something needs to change, but you’re unsure how to begin. In therapy, you don’t have to hold it all together. You get room to slow down, to be honest, and to be supported. Together, we’ll explore what’s draining you, what’s changing within you, and what will help you feel more grounded and more like yourself again.

Are you tired of feeling stuck in life, but don’t know how to begin to change? Maybe you become caught up in worry spirals, feel paralyzed by indecision and perfectionism, struggle to create boundaries, constantly second-guess yourself, or worry about what others think of you. Or perhaps you’re experiencing more anxiety, loneliness and disconnect in your relationships.You may even find it hard to remember a time you didn’t feel like this. But life can be different.

You don’t have to continue feeling overwhelmed by worry and self-doubt, and you don’t have to do it alone. It is possible to feel better. It is possible to feel more empowered in your life and more connected in your relationships. It is possible to quiet your inner critic so that you can live the more joyful life you deserve. I can help you get there.

I work with teens, adults, and couples in support of their exploration of a wide range of issues and challenges. Some areas of focus that I work with are:

□ Financial Anxiety
□ Trauma
□ People-pleasers
□ Brainspotting (weekly and Intensives)
□ Relationship anxiety
□ Communication and boundary setting
□ Codependence
□ Identity exploration (sexuality, gender identity, racial identity, etc.)
□ Whiteness / Participation in systems of oppression

I’m an holistic therapist based in Oakland, offering telehealth throughout California.
我是一名身心整合治疗师，提供面向全加州的线上咨询服务。

I specialize in working with busy professionals, creatives, and leaders who find themselves burned out, anxious, or stuck in lives that look fine on the surface but feel empty or soul-numbing on the inside.

My clients are often immigrants, driven professionals, cycle breakers, and seekers—people who long for freedom, meaning, and a deeper connection to themselves. Many come to me in times of transition, questioning old ways of living, and craving a path that feels more authentic and aligned.

In my work, I weave together neuroscience, somatic awareness, and spiritual depth. I hold a compassionate, grounded space where you can slow down, reconnect with your body and emotions, and uncover what truly matters to you. If you’re ready to move beyond survival mode and begin shaping a life that feels alive and true, I’d be honored to walk with you.

Life is beautiful…but it also sucks. I help people navigate the moments when life feels like it’s come undone. Whether its grief after a loss, the unraveling of a marriage, the exhaustion of burnout, or the uncanny sense of not feeling at home in your own life. These are painful moments, but I see them as invitations: places where something new is struggling to be born.

As a clinician, I work best with clients who are willing to be curious about their inner world, even when it’s uncomfortable. My style blends depth-oriented exploration with practical tools that help translate insight into real action and change. If you’re in a season of transition and searching for meaning, stability, or a clearer sense of self, let’s work together to see you through to the other side.

Hi, I’m Jessica Cruz (she/her), an associate therapist passionate about supporting individuals and couples navigating life’s complexities. I specialize in helping people explore identity, heal relational and developmental trauma, and reconnect with their sense of self in a way that feels authentic and empowering. My practice is rooted in curiosity, care, and a deep belief that healing happens in safe, connected relationships. Whether you’re moving through anxiety, grief, family dynamics, or a desire to feel more grounded in who you are, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and clarity.

Welcome! My name is Emily/Em (they/she). I am an associate marriage and family therapist (AMFT) in the Bay Area. I specialize in helping people heal their attachments with themselves and others. I do this with individuals and dyads/groups in relationships (couples, families, polycules, systems/system members, etc.).

The three pillars of my work are liberation-focused, attachment-based, and trauma-responsive approaches. To learn more about what this means please read my bio or visit my website.

Hi there, I’m Mirisen (she/her). I offer online therapy for adults, teens, and relationships (couples and polycules) across California. I'm warm and interactive in sessions. I strive to practice from an anti-oppressive lens, attending to how systems of power shape our lives and wounds. My approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, and client-centered therapy, with tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when helpful.

I work with people who want to:
- reconnect with their true selves and inner wisdom
- live with greater intention and self-trust
- feel alive in their connection to themselves and others
- follow what brings them meaning and nourishment

I create an experience tailored to your individualized needs and goals. Instead of sticking to a template, we’ll identify how to ensure you feel most comfortable expressing yourself. Therapy can deepen your awareness—which could mean welcoming back parts that you feel disconnected from, discovering new thoughts or ideas, or working with feelings that don’t seem to fit easily in your day-to-day life. As a result, you’ll start to better understand the unique factors that influence your relationships and behaviors: your strengths, values, intuition, and emotions. With new perspectives, you can prepare to live with greater authenticity.

I offer support that is consistent, genuine, collaborative, and direct. My approach integrates the empathetic and existential roots of humanistic therapy, relational work grounded in attachment, present-focused mindfulness tools, and somatic awareness of sensations and feelings within the body. Let's discuss how to tailor these approaches to your needs.
People benefit most when they feel connected to their therapist. I’m open to sharing about myself. When working together, we'll regularly discuss the dynamic between us to ensure therapy is addressing your goals. I encourage you to call for a free 15-minute consultation or learn more about me at my website.

Hi there. I’m glad you’re looking into getting support. I specialize in somatic, creatively-focused, and inner child work psychotherapy. With me as your therapist, we will ground and regulate the body, as we invite different parts of you to be heard and to integrate. I utilize somatic touch work to help my clients move through stuckness and into healing.

As many people are especially overwhelmed right now, trauma-informed techniques are even more important. I am holistic and integrative, which means that I believe there is potential for healing in each one of us. I am here to facilitate what the body knows how to do best, which is to heal.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, ethnicities, abilities, gender identities, sexualities, and other intersectional identities. I meet with clients via Telehealth, In-Office in Pleasant Hill, and for Outdoor Therapy sessions. Please feel free to read more about what our work together will entail, and contact me to book a consultation. I look forward to meeting you.
