My name is Marco Pantoja I am a LMFT, I provide a faith-based practice where science and religion do not contradict each other but run parallel with one another. My practice is aimed at simplifying mental health by identifying underlying reasons why the mental health symptoms are present. From substance abuse and depression to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, I have over 12 years of experience working in the mental health field. I am comfortable with working with various types of diagnosis.

Accepting New Patients. When we feel stuck in our situation, it can create feelings of hopelessness. 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. I approach therapy from a holistic perspective, to address the root problem, not just the symptoms. Like physical therapy, the goal is to get well and end treatment. I offer perspective on your experience, and provide clear, concise directions on meeting your goals.

Hello, my name is Tanya Frausto. I proudly identify as a bilingual, first-generation Latina college graduate, daughter of immigrants, who comes from a low-income background. I earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of San Diego, a master’s degree in social work from San Diego State University, and am licensed in the state of California. I have 13 years in the helping profession serving clients in all stages of life from school-aged children to the elderly. For the past eight years, I have served veterans in a skilled nursing facility, supporting them through end-of-life issues, adjustment, depression, anxiety, and grief.

Hope. Everybody needs it, especially when dealing with relationship problems, anxiety, depression & stress. Over the last 37 years as a Marriage & Family Therapist I have helped couples, families & individuals heal their relationships, learn great communication skills, grieve old wounds & receive tools to reduce anxiety, depression & stress. My style of therapy is to offer wisdom, kindness & practical solutions. Therapy is hard work. Sometimes healing comes from laughter. My clients tell me a peaceful, non-judgmental atmosphere helps them feel comfortable and open up. It's time to find joy & fulfillment with the ones you love!

I understand the importance of building a trusting relationship with my clients. My approach is genuine and nonjudgmental. Psychotherapy is a process, a journey as we work together to explore your thoughts and feelings, and to gain new insights towards a better understanding of yourself and your relationships with others. We will work together to find hope and solutions to your problems. I understand that each client is unique, so I tailor my approach based on individual needs.

You appear to have everything together, but they have no idea what you’re carrying on the inside. There is a constant voice in your head telling you that you’re not good enough, and if people really knew you, they’d reject you. You struggle with your mood and don’t know if you’ll ever feel better. The way you react to others is confusing and you wish you had more control. You hide everything from the world because it’s too overwhelming to admit what’s really going on. It often feels like if you can’t get it together, you’re never going to make it. I want you to know it does not always have to be this way.

At times we can feel overwhelmed with fear and anxiety or stuck in life patterns that do not allow us to access the life we had hoped for.  Part of the "stuckness" can come from past experiences and perspectives we learned from an early age.  Part of it can come from current experiences that leave us feeling lost, afraid, or like we have no control.

Are you a teen, parent or adult who struggles with anxiety, depression, substance use affect your relationships and day-to day life? Do you feel overwhelmed and frustrated about your current stage in life and unclear about how to get yourself feeling better? If you find yourself saying "yes," to any of these challenges, I would love to work with you. I am passionate about supporting individuals and families who would like to learn ways to manage their emotions by creating boundaries, routines or learning ways to change the behavior that leads you feeling stuck and frustrated.

Hello, my name is Jennifer Escalera, LCSW! I have been working in the mental health field since 1998 and I've been a licensed clinical social worker since 2008. My approach to therapy is psychospiritual and holistic. I help clients explore the root causes of their struggles by helping you access insight through a mind-body, and spirit approach so that you can improve your self-care, relationships, work-life balance, and heal from past traumas.

Hello and welcome. I have been a dedicated psychotherapist for the past 14 years. I am originally from the Central Valley of California and have worked with severely mentally ill and dual-diagnosed clients in mental health agencies. Through my experience, I gained various therapeutic insights and applied different therapeutic approaches (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focus Therapy, Play Therapy, and Rogerian Therapy). I have experience working with adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families.

My goal is for us to work together short-term based on needs and goals we identify at our first session. My clients learn skills immediately and reduce their symptoms quickly. I have 26 years of experience using Biofeedback and teaching a variety of coping skills that can be used for life. I have experience with many different disorders, cultures, and individuals (adults/kids) & families. I believe and have seen people improve the quality of their life and reduce conflict and suffering. My office is located within a center that uses a variety of holistic solutions so you can move forward and improve your mind and body.

I've been providing professional counseling services to adolescents and adults for over a decade (15 years old and up). Individual therapy is currently offered, and family if needed. I've always been able to connect with clients, and have built long term therapeutic relationships them. I conduct online therapy only. I am an "out of network" provider. I will give you a billing statement that you will submit to your insurance company for reimbursement at their rate. Please visit onlinetherapynetwork.com for more information.

Have you ever wished you could get in-person therapy without having to sit in an office with the therapist? Do you feel too busy to schedule both therapy and exercise into one day and wish the two could be combined? If so, then "walk and talk" could be a good fit for you. I offer the opportunity to receive counseling or coaching while outside in nature moving your body. Research demonstrates that both exercise and spending time outdoors in sunlight and green spaces provides a reduction in symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and stress while improving mood overall. I also offer zoom or in person sessions.

My greatest desire is for you to flourish and be free. Change is always difficult - even good change. If you need support during any transitional phase of life, I am happy to help. I have specific training and experience in many realms, including: young adult transitions & adjustment, depression & anxiety, mothering & post-partum, parenting children with disabilities, trauma & abuse, gender identity, sexual orientation, spiritual growth, religious harm, & anti-racism. I work with young adults, adults, committed partners, gender non-conforming, intersex, & trans individuals, families, caregivers, empaths & highly sensitive people.

I am passionate about helping people make positive changes in their lives. I will listen to you in a supportive manner and seek insight when you are challenged. I offer counseling services for individuals, couples, families, and teens. At times it can be hard to focus on daily living when we are challenged by emotional issues such as depression, grief, family matters, or personal troubles. I will help you work through your challenges by incorporating mindfulness and coping strategies to help deal with triggers.

As of July 2024, I am accepting new in-person clients at my downtown Oakland office and new teletherapy clients as well. I find the greatest satisfaction and success working with clients who have been managing their problems well enough to get by, but without clear, fundamental, long-term progress. Many have done conventional talk therapy for years, covering the same ground over and over with no clear benefit. These clients often have anxiety over issues that in calmer moments seem trivial, or depression for reasons they can't exactly name.

I consider it a great privilege to walk alongside my clients through challenges in interpersonal relationships, phases of life transitions, cultural and generational conflicts, and other roadblocks that hinder acceptance, restoration, joy, and peace. I also facilitate healthy alliance and positive connection in the family system experiencing disruption and distress through our Wholehearted Family Program.

Do you find there are patterns in your relationships leading to a sense of loneliness and disappointment? Does fear, anxiety or depression get in the way of you experiencing peace? Do you feel disconnected from others and maybe even wonder where God is in your journey in life? You do not have to remain stuck in patterns which you feel powerless to change. Healing is not meant to happen in isolation and I can partner with you to discover what is getting in the way of you attaining a life with more vitality, connection and contentment. We can work together to help you feel more empowered to make the changes within your control.
