Internet Addiction Therapists in Burlingame, CA

I specialize in serving GIFTED PROFESSIONAL AND CREATIVE ADULTS AND COUPLES. Being gifted is a minority experience, which is hard to own or talk about due to cultural (mis)attributions of elitism and arrogance, so many gifted people have not explored this aspect of their identity and how this may be related to difficulties in their life. You may feel out of step with the world or misunderstood, and not know why, or that you have to hide aspects of yourself. Or have trouble making friends, be told you’re "too intense", feel socially awkward, not understand why others seem to respond negatively to your ideas, or feel deeply disappointed with the world’s imperfections. IN MY OFFICE, YOU CAN BE UNRESERVEDLY YOURSELF. Talking frankly about being gifted can improve your self-esteem and offer relief from self-doubt, loneliness, anxiety, or depression, as you develop strategies to meet the majority culture more effectively. Before becoming a psychologist, I worked for 25 years in startups, nonprofits, academia, and F500 companies. I hold a Stanford MBA and Berkeley MSEE, and have special training in assisting gifted clients. I've also published research on the creative process.

Greetings! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive professional experience across diverse settings. I am the Founder and CEO of WARM Education, Training & Consulting, a company dedicated to providing programs that educate youth, families, survivors, clinicians, coaches, and businesses on the impacts of trauma and ADHD on health, wellness, and functioning. I have worked with a broad spectrum of clients, including youth and adults in the business, art, and entertainment industries.

I am a licensed bilingual, bicultural therapist who has been working in the mental health field for over 16 years. I enjoy working with the person who is ready to take that first step to make change. I support them by promoting a safe space in order to begin the therapeutic work. I normally work with individuals and families with multiple siblings. Recently I have been working with couples coming to address relationship challenges: intimacy and infidelity, finances, gambling and addictions, co-parenting and blended families, domestic violence and child abuse, as well as other relationship challenges.

"Ease" is not a keyword for our "Bay Area"! My practice is a resource library for real lives. Whether you're highly visible, invisible, or both--you want some life change. You want a hands-on, motivated professional. Stress shouts out. Anxiety, Depression, Panic, Confusion, Conflict, Addictions/Compulsions come forth. You want strategies for sustained change. Or, you want short-term problem-solving for yourself, marriage, family, workteam. My approaches are eclectic, as we define your needs, goals, and choices. You're motivated to start; and I'm honored to be on your whole-person team!

Does your primary relationship feel stuck? Are you tired of coming up against the same issues and not able to move past them? Has your life (job, children) come between you and your partner? My approach is to be empathic and engaging. I work to provide an environment that will help you to learn and practice emotional skills, improve communication, and develop a keener awareness and understanding of yourself and others. I want you to leave knowing you have several tools in your toolbox to use in daily practice.

Psychotherapy is a sacred process where you trust the therapist and make a pact to enter a private world of pain. You're visiting this site and seeking help: I admire that you're acknowledging your needs-this reflects your strength and commitment to yourself. Rather than avoiding, you're confronting stuff--it takes extraordinary courage. We are born resilient, and though we might feel deflated, life cannot knock this resilience out of us. With your resourcefulness, you're looking for a therapist . . . you're reading this sentence, and you're taking the first step . . . congratulations!

Do you or someone you know worry way too much, feel tired all the time, or feel overwhelmed? Are you having difficulties with social situations or communication in your relationships? Not getting enough sleep, losing focus, or tend to procrastinate? If so, I can help! For over 15 years I have worked with individuals and families to connect, heal, and thrive. Hi, I'm David Arbulú, your friendly neighborhood therapist.

Stressed at your job? Anxious? Depressed? I utilize coaching techniques along with psycho-therapeutic approaches to understand the impact of your stress on your significant relationships. We work collaboratively to achieve therapy goals. I have over 15 years of experience in Business Operations, Human Resources and Project Management and combine my work experience along with therapy skills to work effectively with Project Managers, Human Resource Executives, Software engineers and management executives in their work and home life challenges.

Making the decision to see a therapist is not an easy one, and it often takes a fair amount of courage to do so. For those who decide that therapy is appropriate, the outcome can be positive, bringing them more intimacy and fulfillment. Therapy provides the opportunity to improve communication, reduce stress, anxiety and anger, and improve the most important relationship we have....the one we have with ourselves.

Hello, my name is Kevin Kuhlow. I am a licensed drug and alcohol counselor and executive coach. I work with a broad range of elite performers who have allowed alcohol and other negative behaviors to impact their relationships, their health and their overall happiness. My clients include business executives, law enforcement and military professionals, elite athletes, entrepreneurs and other professionals. By researching the habits of top performers and integrating them with evidence-based treatment practices I help clients achieve optimal conditioning of the mind, body and spirit.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, a complicated relationship, and loss of self-esteem that affects your daily life, your relationships, your ability to function, your work, and your career? Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost? Do you wish this aspect of your life could be better? Have you experienced immigration or war? We live in complicated times where people have significant problems in their lives. We have different problems at present. I am sure everyone can find new solutions to their problems. I only use evidence-based techniques because I believe that is the best way to help people.

My background is in Health Psychology and I bring a Mind-Body perspective to my work. With any change comes growing pains, which is why I specialize in working with professionals navigating important life transitions including career decisions, romantic relationships, friendships, and adjustment to parenthood. Often individuals present questions on how they can feel more fulfilled or satisfied in life. Or how to grow in confidence, or become more grounded in oneself. Many look to find better ways to find meaning and fulfillment in our Modern, Technology-Focused culture.

My main goal in the therapeutic relationship is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, trusting environment where individuals can explore their feelings in their search for a more fulfilling life. I provide therapy personalized to your unique situation and needs, treating each person’s problems within the context of each circumstance. I will work towards developing a relationship with you where you can feel safe to express your thoughts and feelings and what is holding you back from living life more fully. I am not just a passive listener, I will give you feedback in a direct and honest way.

I share your hope that, with skillful support, you can work through difficulties in your personal life, or with your spouse or partner. I bring a warm, caring and interactive style to our meetings and offer sensitive, skilled and compassionate guidance. I find that putting clients at ease and making a positive connection is the first step to working as a powerful client-therapist team to achieve the gains you seek. Together, we can view problems not as failings but as opportunities for personal growth and learning.

I bring into my practice over 30 years of experience and extensive training in couple's dynamics, attachment style, and sexuality.

In a warm and interactive manner I will help you transform obstacles into the relationship you want.

I am passionate about helping through assessment. Assessments are designed to understand learning profiles, as well as to differentiate between issues (such as anxiety and inattention) and document eligibility to accommodations on standardized testing and in school. I can help with full assessments for attention, learning differences, autism, and psychological concerns. Boutique and a-la-carte testing is also available and often indicated for giftedness or as a screening to determine whether further assessment is needed. I have over 25 years of experience and can apply that expertise to devising a battery tailored to your needs.

Are you deciding to try therapy for the first time, or considering a return to this work in a new phase of life? This leap, whether for you, or for your relationship, can be incredibly vulnerable. Healing + change require personal commitment, and trust in the therapist you choose to guide you through the process of re-patterning. The Individual Therapy, Couples Therapy, and Integrative Coaching I provide is insightful, proactive, and inspirational. I will support you to more fully connect with yourself, and more deeply in your relationships. When you are grounded, and your relationships are solid, your work in the world will be meaningful.
