Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Bay Point, CA

My niche is with adults who particularly hard on themselves, especially parents and people experiencing chronic pain. Do you often feel like you "should" be doing more or better? Do you feel guilty taking time for yourself? Do you have mixed feelings about parenthood or your relationship? Learning how to treat ourselves with compassion, accepting our negative feelings as well as the positive ones, and balancing caretaking for others with caring for ourselves is something many of us have to learn as adults. These are areas I help my clients with daily. You don't need to struggle with these issues alone.

Hi there. My name is Rachel Kane-Cooley and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I love connecting with and supporting others on their therapeutic journey. I consider this work a delight and a privilege. Over the years, I have met so many wonderful people looking to heal, grow, and evolve. It's a beautiful process and I feel blessed to be a part of it.

Did everyone tell you how wonderful pregnancy would be? Or how beautiful childbirth is? And now you feel like they all lied to your face. Or worse, maybe it was amazing for them but it’s terrible for you. You don’t get it and you’re wondering, Did I do something wrong? You’re feeling alone and misunderstood. Or maybe you’re struggling with life transitions such as parenting, a job change, or recovering from a scary event. I’m here to tell you that you can feel better, moving forward in your season of life with feelings of being in control, hopeful, and confident.

If you've ever felt like you should be happier, doing more or coping better, I can help. I work with adults and teens who are feeling stuck in depression and anxiety, but are ready to move forward and make sustainable changes. I have specialized training in perinatal mental health, including postpartum depression and anxiety, and practice trauma-informed treatment, including EMDR. We'll work together to rediscover your authentic sense of self, learn tools that help you navigate challenges, and live your life more fully. You don’t have to face hard things alone.

Hello There! Thank you for joining me in this space. I understand how difficult it can be to initiate first contact when seeking therapy. I believe that the first step is often the most challenging but your decision to show up today is half the battle. Whether you are struggling to adjust to life transitions, experiencing depression, anxiety, grief & loss, relationship conflict, or trauma, there is hope and things can improve. I aim to help you discover your true self and your strengths while adjusting to life’s challenges. Allow me to guide you as we undertake this process together.

As a compassionate therapist certified in perinatal care (PMH-C), I understand the unique challenges and emotions that accompany the journey to parenthood. From the anticipation of pregnancy to the joys and uncertainties of childbirth and postpartum adjustment, I provide a safe and nurturing space for individuals to explore their feelings, fears, and hopes. My approach is holistic, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and relational health during the perinatal period. Through a collaborative and nonjudgmental therapeutic process, I empower clients to cultivate self-awareness and strengthen coping skills.

Hello, I am Patricia Alice, LCSW and I have provided outpatient psychotherapy services for over 42 years. I am a generalist and now work exclusively with tele-health. Therefore, my experience is a unique blend of breadth and depth. I have worked with a very wide range of issues. Most seek help for depression, anxiety, panic attacks, past/current trauma, family issues, bipolar diagnosis, relationship problems, work and career issues, postpartum depression, parenting and grief/loss as well as life transition issues like retirement and/or aging.

My name is Maria. I am a bilingual Spanish and English Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been practicing for over 8 years in a County outpatient mental health clinic that services a multicultural and diverse population. y experience includes but is not limited to conducting therapy for Pregnant and postpartum women, adults, older/mature adults, client’s suffering from emotional and crisis situations, mood conditions, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, psychosis, substance abuse, domestic violence, trauma’s, post-traumatic stress disorder, fear, tragedy, paranoia, adoption, grief, and loss.

Motherhood can bring levels of joy you never thought possible. It can also be overwhelming, lonely, or overstimulating. Living in the ups and downs seems to be a daily, even momentary, experience. Some of the emotions and thoughts you are navigating during pregnancy and postpartum were not in the books or articles about what to expect during this time. Your identity is shifting from who you once were to who you are now becoming. Every mama could use support while navigating this transformative and transitional season.

I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in the East Bay for over 30 years, providing psychotherapy for adults, couples, families, adolescents, and groups. I work from a holistic perspective, creating a safe environment to encourage the therapeutic process. I specialize in working with: relationship issues, recovery from sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and other childhood traumas; depression; anxiety, low self esteem; codependency issues; parenting concerns; compulsive eating patterns; body image dissatisfaction, chronic illness, and perinatal loss. I integrate in-depth psychotherapy with EMDR, Expressive Arts Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Jungian Sand Tray, and Dream Work.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee under the clinical supervision of Melinda Haynes, MA, LMFT-S 102308. I work with couples primarily, as well as children & teens, and adult individuals. I am particularly passionate about working with first-time couples therapy-goers, including those who are proactively investing in their relationships. I also enjoy collaborating with couples who are becoming new parents or deciding whether to have children. I am an advocate of maternal mental health and am completing my Postpartum Doula certification.

Our earliest experiences of life form the foundation for the rest of our life. I work with adults struggling to heal old wounds and reduce anxiety and conflict in their lives. Whether you're finding your own childhood experiences being triggered by your child's or partner's behavior today; a working parent attempting to balance competing needs of your workplace, partner, or child; feeling overwhelmed by life transitions (ie. divorce, loss of a loved one, new job, etc), suffering from perinatal anxiety or depression, or someone who has experienced a trauma or distressing memory and wants to be free of its grip, I welcome you.

My hope is to help individuals (teens and adults) and families navigate the emotions that can impact their sense of self, their relationships, and their overall lives. With a compassionate and collaborative approach, we will work together to explore your unique strengths and empower you to take control of your own healing. I support individuals, couples, and families with an emphasis on caregivers in overcoming presenting challenges such as anxiety, depression, pregnancy/prenatal/postpartum, parenting, school/work difficulties, life transitions, and relationship conflicts.

It's all about relationships, starting with your relationship to yourself, your family of origin, your partner, children, friends. And then there's the relationship to your problems: things like depression, anxiety, ADHD, post-partum and parenting stress, body-image problems. How do you work with the set of challenges that life hands you? I work with clients to understand themselves and their own story, and then apply that understanding, in the form of coping and problem-solving skills, to their relationships, to get through life's pain and into a life worth living.

My hope is to create a supportive space for my clients to heal and grow. As a South Asian American, with extensive experience in compassionate care for diverse populations, I aim to foster an environment where you can explore both strengths and challenges. My ultimate objective is to empower you to navigate life's stress and complexities, facilitating lasting positive changes.
