Hi, I'm Cinthya Islas and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My main focus over the last 10 years has been working with individuals who have experienced different types of traumas in their lives. I understand how difficult it may be to talk about the things that impact life in more ways than one, my goal is to create a space where you can explore your feelings and gain insight into how these wounds have impacted your life and hopefully identify the coping skills that work for you to continue on this healing journey.

My name is Theresa Rodriguez, CADC, LMFT. I have been in the helping field for over 14 years. My experience and background are with individuals who need further assistance with mental health, substance use, trauma, LGBTQ+. Using Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Relapse Prevention techniques to help clients make progress and start feeling better about where they are and where they have yet to go. I have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, individuals struggling with co-occurring disorders, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, and trauma.

My therapeutic style is somatic, empathetic and appropriately humorous. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, incorporating and joining mind, body and soul. I use breath work to focus on expanding your capacity to feel emotions; use awareness of tension to identify behaviors; and manage physiological sensations that overwhelm you. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families struggling with trust, communication and trauma issues. I believe somatic therapy is helpful in relieving anxiety and depression by becoming aware of what overwhelms you and leaves you feeling stuck in a cycle that you can't stop.

Carol Bernstein, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) My therapeutic approach is infused with a passion for creating and providing open and interactive dialogue, empowering adults of all ages to meet life's problems, transitions, and tough decisions with greater confidence and awareness. Utilizing techniques from evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral, short-term problem-solving therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices.

The most significant predictor of a successful therapy experience is the quality of the relationship between therapist and client. Building a safe, nurturing relationship is where I excel. My style is warm and highly interactive, best suited for clients who prefer a therapist who feels very "human." I assist clients to explore their thought patterns and corresponding emotional responses, and to identify unconscious assumptions they hold about themselves and the world, which inform behavior patterns. I also provide practical tools for regulating anxiety, managing depression, and processing grief.

Thank you for reading this. Having a background in grassroots and non-profit work as well as teaching, I am fiercely passionate about equity, social justice and liberation for all people. The therapeutic relationship is unique and radical --- your words have exquisite power and we get to think together about what they mean.

As a therapist, my goal is to empower you to ultimately become your “own” therapist once our work together is completed. To do this, I assist my clients in first gaining an understanding of what has—and what has not—been going well for them. I then work actively to assist my clients develop and strengthen skills to use in their daily lives that will help them not only feel better in the short term, but feel more able to take on life’s many challenges. Throughout this process, I seek to create a warm, safe, and enjoyable space where clients feel free to laugh, cry, learn, and ultimately grow.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed and paralyzed with anxiety as you navigate life? Are you tired of feeling exhausted from constant worry, feeling isolated in grief, or feeling lost. You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way, and you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to experience calm and explore making some changes in your life. You’re ready to find acceptance, discover resilience, and embody confidence in your choices. Most of all you are ready to gain deeper insight into yourself as you cultivate your healing and growth while discovering purpose and meaning in your life.

After working at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, I started my private practice in 2015.

This include female-identified and non-binary individuals, as well as couples/partners (of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures) who identify as non-traditional, including Queer, CNM/Poly, Kinky, and/or subcultural communities (e.g. Burners).
