Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Danville, CA

I work with a wide range of clients, each facing their own set of challenges. Whether it's dealing with issues related to eating or embracing neurodiversity like autism and ADHD, I strive to create a warm and inviting environment for self-discovery. I have a wealth of experience working with kids, teens, and the LGBTQ+ community. As someone who identifies as queer, my goal is to create a supportive and empowering space for fellow LGBTQ+ individuals.

I have been in private practice over 28 years in the San Ramon Valley. I feel we are go through difficult times in our life and its helpful to reflect and learn from our experiences, even our painful ones. I consider it an honor to have worked with so many people over the years and helped then deal with life difficulties. We live in very stressful times and it's helpful to have someone to talk with and guide us.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth longstanding behavioral patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Authentic change happens from the inside out. It can't be veneered onto one's surface. Painful life experiences create a complex web inside that shapes a person's world. This web can limit one's ability to find joy and meaning in life. Psychotherapy offers a way to access deep emotional experience. As therapy proceeds connections will start to appear between past & current life experience. Problematic internal patterns will become visible and open to reevaluation and change. As internal stress decreases, clarity, joy and meaning will have the chance to emerge.

I do this while creating a compassionate, positive environment. I am passionate about helping my clients and specialize in sensitive clients of all ages and circumstances.

People often come to psychotherapy in search of more peace; to work through personal challenges and/or relieve pain from sources such as anxiety, depression, feelings of inadequacy, loss, or addiction. They may be struggling in their relationships or moving through a profound life transition. For some, their faith has been shaken in some significant way. Whatever the motivation might be for seeking professional help, I care deeply about assisting clients in gaining insight, education, self-awareness, and strength. Everyone has challenges. Working collaboratively, we can achieve the goals most desired for a healthier life.

My name is Jackie Holmes. I am a licensed therapist at Hope Works in Bakersfield, CA. I have 13 years of experience working with individuals with mental health concerns.

I have experience working with individuals who have concerns with anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, relationship concerns, and trauma.

Who doesn't need therapy? Therapy is unique. It is a safe space where you can be completely who you are. Within the therapy relationship, you are able to say things that you have bottled up, you are given opportunity to identify your blind spots without judgment or shame, and you are able to attune to what you really want in life. I am a big believer in hearing your own voice, getting in touch with your values, and making decisions that align with what is important to you.

Finding a therapist who is the "right fit" for you can be a challenging process; however, it is key to the success of therapy. Starting with a complementary phone consultation can be the first step where we can discuss your needs and desired outcomes. In my work with clients, I focus on creating a safe, supportive and collaborative space where you can have a positive therapeutic experience. I like to partner with clients in creating meaningful goals that will guide our work together. My goal is to help you gain insight into current challenges and develop effective strategies for managing them.

Are you finding yourself caught in self defeating patterns? Are you anxious or depressed and don't know why? Maybe you are hard on yourself in ways you aren't to others. Or, do you find yourself overly critical of others? Do you wish you were happier, more at peace? We all try and want to live at our best, but many of us find ourselves pulled back into old patterns before we recognize our actions. We cope in many different ways or develop symptoms that are often self destructive. Why do we do this?
