Relationship Issues Therapists in Los Altos, CA

Are you a parent of a teen and feeling overwhelmed or unhappy with your parenting? In an intimate relationship that feels like it's going nowhere? I work with parents, couples, and individuals to help them with relational and life issues. My specialties include: - families with "challenging" teens, working directly with parents to support them in shifting their stance to support their teen to be their best. Common issues include feeling overwhelmed, micromanaging and finding that it's just not working, anger, frustration, and loss.

Most of us want to solve our own problems, but at times getting help is the wisest move, speeding progress and often bringing desired changes we didn't realize were possible. I help you connect with your inner wisdom and resolve problems while adding skills that bring resilience and strength. My approach is compassionate, non-judging, supportive, and tailored to your uniqueness. Therapy helps with most life challenges because it's really about personal growth: getting better at handling what life brings, and helping the wise, powerful, authentic you come to the forefront, take charge, find meaning, and engage fully.

Congratulations on making that first step toward getting help! I offer in-person and online psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and teens. My goal is to help you overcome obstacles, navigate stressors and reach your full potential by tapping into your strengths, values and resilience. Some of the issues I work with are anxiety, relationship difficulties, social difficulties, depression, parenting difficulties, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions and career change.

I believe counseling is about finding meaning and purpose in our lives; about experiencing a deep level of self-trust; and about healing broken relationships. I use a solution focused approach inviting you to view your problems from a different angle. We'll focus on what things you can control and how to let go of circumstances beyond your control. I invite you to identify the sources of internal dialogue that generate self-doubt, anxiety and depression. Each week you will leave with small assignments designed to increase your self-awareness and self-confidence.

I believe our thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that sometimes cause stress happen for understandable reasons. My goal is to help clients gain a deeper insight into their current stress and suffering, be more connected to themselves and others, and grow and heal.

You want to reignite connection and passion with your partner. The distance between you seems vast and has been there for so long that you don't know how to bridge it anymore. The love between the two of you used to be strong but you don't know how to bring it back. You know you both played a role in creating the distance. You want to fix it but you aren't sure about your partner. You'd like to try therapy but you need someone sharp enough to keep up with you.

Working with individuals who feel they need some extra support to tackle challenges that life throws at them is my passion. I believe that through the relationship and work between client and therapist, behaviors can be adjusted, relationships can be mended, unhealthy coping skills can be identified and reworked, and healthy change can occur. I create a safe, comfortable therapeutic environment where individuals can succeed in making positive growth in their lives. Taking a straightforward, honest, relaxed and empathetic approach to supporting clients frees clients to open up, discover their strengths and make the most of therapy.

Therapy is an opportunity to address problems we want to change, gain insights into our concerns, and develop new ways of being. My approach to therapy is best described as integrative with a strong grounding in psychodynamic, relational, and multicultural principles. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy to co-construct effective strategies for everyday life beyond the therapy room. I strive to provide clients a safe space to increase awareness, make meaning of the experience, and begin to cope and overcome life's difficulties. I provide individual and couple's therapy. I speak Mandarin and English.

Talk to me. Your experience matters! Are you taking care of everyone else's needs and can't even remember the last time you did something just for you? How did that happen? Are you struggling to resolve a problem with a family member, a friend, your boss, a co-worker and not sure what to do, what to say or how to say it? Do you feel stuck and need help getting unstuck? Are you feeling sad or lonely and don’t understand why? Sometimes life can feel hard. You might feel confused, overwhelmed, alone. Talk to me. I believe I can help.

Are you struggling in your relationships with others, or with how you view yourself? Do you have problems at work, or are you grappling with a loss? Many times we may feel unhappy, or bland but are not clear about the causes and what we can do. Personal growth is a lifelong process, and at times, choosing to embark in a psychotherapeutic relationship can help. We all have the capacity to better understand ourselves and improve our lives. In our work together, you would begin to understand the relationship you have with yourself and how you navigate other relationships.

I am a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford and private practice psychiatrist and therapist. The challenges you are facing now may feel overwhelming, and you may feel stuck in patterns that are no longer serving you. We will work together to understand what is happening in your life right now, while exploring the historical patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be contributing to your current experience. My approach is to be compassionate, inquisitive, and candid. I believe our partnership is foundational to change.

Are you and your partner in a rut when it comes to sex? Or maybe it is not happening at all? I specialize in working with committed couples who have lost their sexy spark and are looking to feel closer, more excited and genuinely passionate again. My work is unique in that it's not about tips and tricks, but rather the deeper psychological blockages that might be holding you back in the bedroom. If you're ready to do the work and transform your relationship, I would be honored to be your guide. I love working with sexually diverse clients including: kinksters, LGBTQIA+ clients, sex workers and non-monogamous folks.

Welcome! I specialize in helping couples and individuals overcome the roadblocks they face in the most intimate aspect of their relationship: the intersection of their humanity and their sexuality. In my years of work as a marriage and family therapist, I have found that sex is often about the full spectrum of life-issues which we encounter as human beings.

For more than a decade, I have successfully helped individuals, couples, and families find greater clarity about what they want their life to stand for and how to pursue that life. Within a supportive therapeutic relationship, I help my clients attain the vibrant and valued life they desire. My approach in therapy is active. I work based on the assumption that clients are able to achieve rapid and significant changes in their behaviors. The interventions used in this approach help clients access alternative ways of "problem solving" that utilize the resources beyond the "common-sense" mind. https://effective-therapy.com/

I specialize in working with a wide range of mental health concerns and emotional difficulties. Common issues I work with in therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship problems, procrastination, self-esteem and self-worth, and stress management. Drawing from my extensive training and experience in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I tailor each session to meet the unique needs and goals of my clients. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where individuals feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

LIfe is filled with challenges, whether it is emotional/mental well being, personal growth, relationships with others, or intricate family dynamics. With the right guidance and support, we can overcome difficulties, grow through the experience and come out stronger.
