Chronic Illness Therapists in Daly City, CA

Life with a chronic illness presents unique challenges. Not only do you have your new (and changing) physical reality, but anxiety, depression and overwhelm can show up unannounced. I've been there! The great news is that, with help, we can transform our state of mind and start loving life again. WE can get YOU back on the road to loving your life--let's get to it!

We often find ourselves and bodies, on the path towards health after overwhelming experiences (birth, chronic illness), trauma, grief or loss. Re-igniting our inner-fire and natural emotional balance can understandably be a challenge. Trauma-informed somatic psychotherapy can help! I take my role as a therapist, one who supports the client on their journey, as a facilitator of a sacred collaboration. I conduct therapy with an intention to process and move trauma (anxiety, depression and grief accompanying it) in order to restore balance between the mind, body, and spirit and reignite the internal fire.

I’m Jackie Eppinger and I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist. I approach therapy with an affirming lens that focuses on supporting my clients through challenging periods in their lives. My focused areas of practice include chronic illness, cancer, the LGBTQ community, and relationships/attachment.

I have a passion for helping people find their new normal after traumatic injuries and/or chronic illness and have first-hand experience with the grief, and loss of identity that comes with life after a traumatic injury. I focus on letting my clients know that they are not in this alone, despite what their irrational thoughts tell them.

It's not all in your head! In a culture that marginalizes and dismisses people’s pain, many of us are left needing to feel heard. I specialize in work with individuals and couples navigating pelvic and sexual pain for this reason. Here, your stories will be listened to, your experiences validated, and your pain believed. Whether you’re navigating chronic pelvic pain caused by a condition like endometriosis, or you’re a couple navigating illness, infertility, or painful sex, I’m here to offer you support. This pain is not just a physical experience, it’s emotional and relational.

I believe most underlying diagnosis are a result of traumas that shape who we are & strengthen us as beings.

Hi! My name is Gabrielle Gray and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Sonoma County, California, and working with clients statewide through telehealth. I work with teens and adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am comfortable working with all ages, from teens to the elderly. I have experience working with a wide range of illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I do well working on relationship troubles, life transitions, problem-solving, and more.

The treatment method I use will vary for each person or couple who seek my help. I give you practical advice based on your situation, not generic "deep breath, count to 10 and it will all be "better" advice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of my primary modalities. My hope is that we will build trust after you meet me and decide if I am a good fit for you. Therapists are like pants, I wont be a good fit for everyone and that is ok, come meet me and see!

My priority as a therapist is to create a warm and comfortable environment in which we can work closely together to identify goals and tailor the sessions to best meet your needs. I have an interactive style and I utilize a wide variety of techniques.

It's possible to have a fulfilling, meaningful and joyful life. I create a safe space for you to explore how your life experiences shaped your view of yourself and others. As a result of childhood abuse or neglect, intergenerational transmission of trauma and ongoing injustice, we can develop negative beliefs about our worth and what the world will provide for us. These often unconscious thoughts and behaviors helped you survive and even thrive but may not work well now. As humans, we go through many times of growth where we shed what doesn't fit, so we can become even an better version of ourselves.

Do you feel that your everyday challenges are beginning to overwhelm you? Have you set goals for yourself, but you have not been able to achieve them? The solution is in sight. With skill, professionalism, empathy, and compassion I can help you to achieve your goals and the life that you want. Because you are a unique individual, I will tailor my treatment methods to fit your unique situation and needs. I believe that we all have what it takes to meet and conquer life's many challenges and difficulties.

I'm an integrative psychotherapist working with individuals and couples. My approach is warm and interactive, providing a supportive environment where you can reflect and develop new ways of handling the life challenges you are facing. The focus of my practice is twofold: relationship issues and life transitions (for example: changes in relationships, career changes, relocation, pregnancy, child birth and parenting, facing illness, trauma and loss, as well as seeking more meaning and deeper fulfillment in life). I have extensive experience working with people who immigrated to the US or are of diverse cultural backgrounds.

Longing for a different outcome? Want to write a new story? You are probably hoping to find support with the process of healing something that isn't feeling right. Psychotherapy can help by offering an accepting space to look, non-judgmentally, at whatever feels stuck, painful, or unresolved. Use my support and encouragement to help you approach these challenges in new ways, and find new solutions. My goal is to provide you with acceptance and ways to access your own innate wisdom and energy. I offer individual and relationship psychotherapy. Short and long term therapy options are available, depending on your concerns and goals.

All too often emotional suffering feels familiar, a sense of being stuck in the same frustrating patterns. Talking about your struggles may provide some temporary relief, but may not produce the long-term change wanted. My approach involves a combination of practical techniques to help you alleviate your symptoms and using integrated mind-body modalities that offer the possibility of healing outside of the traditional "talking cure." Working together at the pace that feels right for you, we will help you connect to your core self, provide healing for the hurt parts of you and open new possibilities for your future.

Are you looking to overcome challenging life situations? Would you like to experience relief from stressors, improve your quality of life, and achieve your therapeutic goals? I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, anger management, marital issues, issues related to aging, chemical abuse and dependency, gambling and other addictions, and personality issues. I have been a psychotherapist for over 14 years treating adults and older adults 18 years of age and above. Psychotherapy is individual and personal, and there are multiple approaches to treatment. I also believe that the development of communication skills and coping skills are very important in achieving wellness.

As we embark on this journey together, I aspire to provide you with my full attention and engagement, allowing you to experience the benefits of gentle, generous focus. With nearly a decade of experience working with non-ordinary states of consciousness (e.g. psychotic, manic, dissociative, ecstatic, etc.), I'm confident that I can help you manage most anything you're experiencing. You will find our time together has depth due to my background in Jungian theory; yet the somatic (embodied) and trauma-informed approach underlying everything we focus your curious attention on will remain rooted in your felt-sense of the present moment.

Warm greetings! I appreciate the challenge of finding the "right" therapist for you. If you are concerned about your relationship, I am glad you are here. My approach is interactive with a focus of finding practical solutions for your concerns. I can teach you a variety of evidence-based communication tools. If you are a couple who desires more intimacy and better ways to resolve differences, I can assist you. I have completed Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and provide a comprehensive online assessment for each couple, including a written summary. I offer direct feedback that fits your unique situation.

I'm Dr. Ray Coffin, a Southern California psychologist with over 30 years of experience helping people get their lives back in balance when it's gotten to be too much to handle alone. If that sounds like you and what's worked for you in the past just isn't cutting it anymore, let's talk! I provide a confidential place to sort out what's not working in your life. We'll work together to clarify what you have the power to change, reinforce skills critical to your success, and support you as you build the confidence you need to make those changes.
