Therapy services in Santa Clara and online in California

We work with adults, couples, families, and children. If you’re not sure which kind of therapy fits, start with what’s happening in your life. This page can help you find a place to begin.

What brings you here?

Most people come to therapy with something specific on their mind, even if it’s hard to name. These are some of the concerns we help with. Many overlap, and a few can be approached in more than one way.

  • Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
  • Trauma and difficult past experiences
  • Low mood, grief, and life transitions
  • Relationship conflict and disconnection
  • Family tension, parenting, and boundaries
  • Identity, belonging, and cultural expectations
  • Depression and low self-esteem
  • Phobias and persistent fears
  • Codependency in relationships
  • Compulsive pornography, smartphone, or video game use

Choosing the right kind of therapy

The main difference is who is in the room. Relationship difficulties can be explored on your own or together, and family work can involve different combinations of family members over time. If you’re unsure, we’ll help you decide during your consultation.
