Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Alameda, CA

What's Love Got to Do With It??. . . . Alot!. . You're having trouble in relationships, friendships or at work. You're finding it hard to know how to fix things, and you wonder if the problem is you, your past, or the people around you. You're seeking out support because life has gotten overwhelming or you've shut down. Anxiety or depression maybe peek in here or there and you want real tools to use. You want to feel more confident & fulfilled in relationships, but no one ever taught you that part. You want self-love but don't have a clear vision of who you are.

I love working with motivated clients who want to build healthy habits, make lasting changes, and improve their quality of life. Not sure if you need therapy? Some of the most common issues I treat include: overthinking, difficulties managing time or focusing, work/life balance, interpersonal struggles, and managing frustrating family dynamics. Feeling stuck? Is Perfectionism, People-Pleasing, or Procrastination holding you back at work or in your personal life? I can help you build your confidence, recognize your potential, and kick your self-doubt to the curb.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California who is experienced in working with adolescents, young adults, and individuals with trauma histories. I believe clients can overcome any problem or challenge in life by experiencing the benefits of a genuine connection with a non-judgmental, supportive person. The experience of having our personal stories truly witnessed by another human being can be incredibly powerful and can often lead to healing and growth.

I am an experienced children's psychotherapist, with a private practice in Alameda and have provided therapeutic services for children, teens and families for 20+ years. I have been able to help families deal with a variety of issues including trauma, loss, family-conflict, children/teens with learning disabilities and a variety of behavioral issues, as well as familial substance use issues, post-divorce issues, severe anxiety and depression.

Have you been feeling lost, isolated, anxious, and overwhelmed? Have you been concerned about your relationships? Or perhaps your teen is struggling with anxiety, emotion regulation, school and peer difficulties. Creatives and neurodivergent clients are some of my favorite to work with, from teens struggling with changes at home or school, to adults dealing with internal blocks and recognizing their need to heal and learn new coping tools to navigate life. My clients learn new healthy coping skills, gain greater self-acceptance and self-trust and improve their sense of connection with themselves, their loved ones, and their world.

I founded Be Love Community Counseling to provide safe, healing space for people that have been oppressed, marginalized or have an identity outside of the "dominant culture." Historic trauma and past hurts may show up as depression, anxiety, anger management issues, low self-esteem, underachievement, oppositional behaviors etc. You may think that something is wrong with you while what you're experiencing may actually be a result of something that has happened to you or your ancestors. Therapy is empowering as you may increase awareness about what is keeping you from freedom to live the life you desire.

Thank you for visiting my page. Choosing to embark on the path of healing can be difficult, and I applaud you for taking the first step. I work with adults (both women and men) seeking to address concerns related to relationships, infidelity, self-worth, and commitment issues. I offer a safe and supportive space for exploring these complex issues. My goal is to support you in having a clearer understanding of the barriers you face while navigating life's challenges. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, grief, depression, or relationship issues, I am here to help you create a more fulfilling life. I invite you to reach out.

I enjoy using different evidence-based models. However, I am aware of the importance of tailoring my treatment modalities to meet the specific needs of each individual. Together we will focus on breaking unhelpful patterns that hinder growth and quality of life. In unity, I will teach you how to cope, regulate and develop healthier ways to manage problems and add more meaning to your life.

Your time is precious. Life can be overwhelming at times. Let's find a way to make small changes that have big impacts on your life. I have over a decade of experience in the field of mental health, with multiple certifications and continuing education courses completed to prove I'm ready and able to help. I am passionate about supporting new parents, couples, and neurodivergent-identifying folks to feel better about themselves, their relationships, and where their lives are going.

Feeling overwhelmed? Corporate culture and your perfectionist inner critic can wear you down. As a former tech worker turned therapist,I get it. Everyone sees you as super successful, but you feel like you're barely keeping up, constantly falling short of your own high standards. The endless to-do list keeps you up at night, leaving you exhausted by your own anxious thoughts. Yet you fear these traits are why you've been successful. It feels like you must choose between success and self-compassion.

Anxiety sucks. I get it. It can keep you stuck in an exhausting inner battle of fear and panic. Perhaps you have had a panic attack and worry about having another one. Or maybe you find yourself frequently worrying about your relationship with your partner. Obsessive thoughts might be keeping you up at night and disrupting your ability to focus at work. And you might feel frustrated or embarrassment that you can't get your anxiety under control. You might be trying to cope with your anxiety by staying busy, distracting yourself with technology, or turning to drugs or drinking. The good news is, it does not have to be this way.

I believe that each of us is a unique expression of Love and that we are at our happiest and most content when we feel in touch with ourselves and our loved ones. I also know that life can be challenging and seem overwhelming at times. Experiences of trauma, relationship problems, transitions, illness/death, and even the world around us can leave us feeling anxious, depressed or alone. My focus is on helping my clients learn the tools that they need to discover or return to the self they desire to be.

My approach is psychodynamic, relational, and insight-oriented with a holistic focus on the mind-body continuum.

Do you feel lost, questioning who you are or where you're going with no easy answers? Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn, we hit a bottom, or we just realize that something in us is different...or something must change. Such times of confusion and crisis are often the meeting point for our work together. They are also openings to self-discovery and real change. I listen deeply for what you want, develop a relationship of trust, and work WITH you to establish the clarity and direction you need.

Services are provided in both Spanish and English. My therapeutic approach used in treatment varies depending on the individual's needs and recommended treatment modalities for the individual's presenting issue. I've spent the last 8.5 years working in community mental health, focal population includes young adults, adults, older adults, and their families who have moderate to severe mental health illnesses. During my career in community mental health, I provided treatment for various mental health disorders.

Hi, my name is James "Jim" Husen. I am a Psychologist. My approach to therapy is to first do no harm, then help the client with his/her symptoms and figure out the root or source of those problems and help the client with that too- give a person a fish, the family eats for a day, teach a person to fish, the family eats for a lifetime and beyond when the children are taught to fish as well.

For therapy to be effective, it is important that you feel safe to express your most vulnerable thoughts and feelings as well as be committed to putting in the work. As a therapist, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel seen and heard. From that place, and employing the most effective evidence-based therapies along with integrative and holistic modalities, we work together to uncover and shift negative subconscious beliefs and blocks to create lasting change. I love helping my clients live more fulfilled and meaningful lives in alignment with their values and purpose.

I am an experienced therapist with a compassionate and nonjudgmental approach. I have extensive experience using evidence-based practices. I use these techniques to help you evaluate and work through difficult issues and behaviors that may be keeping you from moving forward. I work collaboratively with you to create a treatment plan that is uniquely tailored to your therapy goals. I believe that the most effective therapy combines nurturing support, concrete tools, and a results-oriented approach. I specialize in helping individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship issues.
