Therapists in Alameda County, CA

I am the daughter of Mexican/Salvadoran parents who raised me with the core values of faith, family and community service. I possess several years of experience working with emotionally distressed youth and their families and can provide various treatment approaches. I can provide trauma-informed treatment and utilize various mediums to engage clients such as; Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), play therapy, expressive arts and mindfulness. I have witnessed individuals struggle with anxiety, worry and sadness and feel disconnected from the world.

Do you feel stuck in the same loops, repeating old patterns, and self-defeating behaviors? Through a mindfulness-based, somatic, and trauma-sensitive approach, I support you to break these cycles, let go of limiting beliefs and be free to live the life you want. I specialize in supporting individuals who struggle with issues related to anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem and depression. My style is warm, authentic and direct - I'm here to help you feel more grounded and self-assured so that you can better navigate relationships, life transitions, and daily stressors.

My name is Anthony Williams, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) serving clients statewide in California via telehealth. I use a person-centered, solution-focused approach to help clients progress toward their personal goals and recognize their full potential. I am comfortable working with a wide range of clients and will see individuals, couples, and families, with ages ranging from child to elder adult. I have had success in supporting clients to challenge negative thinking and unhealthy behaviors that contribute to feelings of depression, anger, anxiety, and overall stress.

Hello and welcome! It is not easy taking that first step to get help. However, the effort and time you put into working towards bettering yourself can be life changing! Whether it is anxiety, life challenges, and/or stress I would love to work with you, support you and be there during your journey.

Our mission is to provide quality online mental health and substance abuse services while breaking down the barriers of traditional, office based therapy. Traditional mental health and substance abuse treatment tends to focus on what makes you sick, what you are lacking but at The Mindful Lemon, our clinicians let you sit in the driver’s seat, focusing on your strengths and assets to help you become the best version of you! This can be via traditional talk therapy, medication management, mindfulness techniques, an emphasis on health, wellness and fitness or any combination of the above.

Everyday I meet with individuals and couples who are in the process of confronting worry, depression, conflict and dissatisfaction to find greater joy, peace and meaning in their lives. If and when you decide to take a first step into therapy, I think you will find me to be an insightful, responsive and non-judgmental individual with an extensive therapeutic "tool kit." My approach is interactive and person-centered. Together we will engage in a process of deepening your understanding of the feelings and views motivating your actions, which can then lead to more effective and skillful ways of living.

I recognize that making a decision to come to counseling is not always easy, and will partner with you at your own pace to engage your natural capacity for healing and change. My style is warm, collaborative and non-judgmental. The way our time is spent together will be unique to your interests & needs. My practice is eclectic and may include mindfulness, expressive arts, nature, as well as traditional talk therapy, which we will discuss in our first meeting together. I'm passionate about providing therapeutic services to youth and young adults; and also work with adult clients & parents.

It can be exhausting and isolating to feel trapped in our own thoughts and emotions, and more often than not, the result is blaming, shaming and judging ourselves. You deserve to have a safe enough space to let it all out and explore what core experience(s) have made it feel like this is what you deserve. Whether your goals in therapy are to start exploring your intergenerational family history, talking about what you've been through in your own life, or learning new ways to cope and grow, you deserve a therapist that is going to meet you where you're at - without judgment or expectation.

The combination of strong anxiety and strong intellect poses special challenges for those caught in the crosshairs. I help individuals with active, analytical minds to work through anxiety-related problems such as panic, worry, avoidance, and compulsive thoughts or habits. My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based, grounded in both mindfulness and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

As a psychologist with over 25 years of experience, I invite you to explore the transformative power of mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy. I've seen firsthand how this approach helps my clients rewire old patterns of thinking/behavior, and learn to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience. In addition, over 31,000 people worldwide follow my blog to learn my approach to healing and recovery. Visit christinedickson.com for more information.

My framework as a psychotherapist is inspired by black feminist sci-fi writer, Octavia E. Butler who saw the possibility of many more worlds than just our own. I believe that transformative internal healing is critical to envisioning and building these worlds without the presence of imperialism, white supremacy, capitalism and cishet-patriarchy. The tools I use to support the exploration of individual, interpersonal and intergenerational trauma are shaped by abolition that rejects punitive and scarcity mindsets and disability justice which strives to value every body.

Everyone deserves the freedom to define themselves and access services that genuinely meet their needs. I am here to support you process through past experiences that are keeping you stuck and build your confidence to create the life you want. As a Black, Queer, and Genderqueer therapist, I offer individual and group therapy services that honor and center Black and other POC communities. I am currently offering bi-weekly, in-person appointments.

My approach to therapy emphasizes self knowledge, empowerment and insight helping move towards a more integral, meaningful and gratifying life. It is with passion and kindness that I witness the healing transformation a person goes through in the therapeutic relationship. Originally from Brazil, I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese working with clients who speak these languages. Three theories permeate my work: the Integral theory of Ken Wilber, Psychodynamic theory, and Hakomi. I integrate into the analysis the physical, mental, emotional, and social parts of the self (Integral) in a mindfulness-based, body inclusive, and experiential perspective (Hakomi).

I am a change oriented therapist and would like to support you in finding new solutions to old problems. I am part of a group practice that provides individual and group DBT, and I have experience working with addiction/alcoholism, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and psychosis. My other passion is parenting and pregnancy as I ran a parenting program for 12 years. I understand the stresses facing parents with young children, and will provide a trusting relationship where you can develop skills and experience more joy in parenting.

As a Licensed Psychotherapist I help people with feelings of anxiety, stress, panic, depression and disconnection. You might be struggling with low self worth or a relentless inner critic that affects your relationships, work or school performance. By using a trauma informed approach we uncover what lies underneath allowing for understanding, access to compassion and the easing of overwhelming emotions.

At times we may find we are struggling to cope with our problems or effectively manage feelings. Maybe you are feeling anxious, stressed, depressed or you could be finding yourself constantly worried, tired, having trouble sleeping or struggling to connect in your relationships. Perhaps it is just harder to get out of bed and do things, leaving you to feel unmotivated. You may be searching for solutions so you can start feeling better and doing the things you want.

Welcome! It is so nice to meet you. I work best with clients who are motivated to change and looking for a short-term and skills-based approach. You can expect sharp clinical precision, collaboration, deep human kindness, realness, and radical open-mindedness. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and professor at USC Keck School of Medicine. I am also a certified Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher with 15+ years of formal mindfulness training. I specialize in research-supported Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness-Based therapies.
