Male Therapists in Menlo Park, CA

Are you struggling with how crazy the world has become? Do you feel lost, scared or confused? Are you looking for answers during a time when no one seems to have them? I might be able to help you. Before I was a therapist I was a client myself, struggling with addiction, PTSD and other issues as well. My journey of healing led me to becoming a therapist to help others heal. My clients find me to be compassionate, non-judgmental and informative. I tend to work intuitively, while using my training and experience as a guide. I am focused on helping my clients navigate their own healing journey as quickly and as painlessly as possible.

I'm Chris Hoover. LMFT. I believe therapy should be relaxed, open, and honest, and a learning experience where a client develops skills that will help them for the rest of their life. I've worked with at-risk youth, the seriously and persistently mentally ill, the LGBTQIA community, and people with substance abuse issues, as well as many people dealing with issues adjusting to common life changes and stressors. I work with all types of people. I enjoy helping people work through depression and anxiety, helping clients manage their school or job stress, and helping new parents or married couples adapt to the changes in their lives.

Being raised in an immigrant, working-class family taught me the value of respect, humility, and looking out for one another. I carry these values in any space I operate in, whether it's in my own family or professional space. It can be a struggle to reach out for help when you might be disconnected from yourself and others, which is why I value you reaching out to me. I help address issues regarding your past, present, and future self. To heal, I help you take steps to break negative generational cycles. I incorporate a social justice lens to analyze how our identities, cultural, and social forces impact our mental health.

Hola, my name is Jesus Mendoza, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with clients statewide via Telehealth. My goal is to provide a safe space to aid in one’s journey toward healing by learning safe coping skills, emotion regulation, and communication techniques. I emphasize finding one’s true authentic self. I have found that my style works well with teens and adults with past trauma, current stressors, or difficulty with certain life transitions.

Pornography addiction can significantly impact your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal struggles in your life and committed relationships that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfan or Social Media is hard to quit even with all your willpower and promise to quit for the sake of your relationship

I often work with clients who struggle with never feeling good enough. This would surprise people around you as there's a good chance you've found success in life. You excelled academically, have advanced your career, and appear confident to others, but internally you feel different. The drive to perform has been an attempt to finally feel like you are enough. I can help you begin to look at how these patterns were at one time protective, but may no longer fit in your life. We will work together to heal the underlying wounds these patterns are protecting.

The therapeutic process is unique and I aim to build my therapy style around the needs of each client. With over 10 years of experience, I have a passion for working with many populations including veterans, adults with autism, parents of children with autism, working with families in the PHP/IOP setting, students transitioning out of college, and survivors of trauma. I am a level 2 Certified Trauma Specialist with a background in Somatic Reprocessing and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy. No matter the challenges you are facing, I am here to provide you with the skills, support, and environment needed to succeed.

My name is Wes Hamper, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Northern California. I work with adults throughout California via Telehealth and specialize in anxiety and stress management, assertiveness, and self-actualization. My primary modalities of treatment include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Therapy to help my clients manage life's ups and downs, find their voice, and reach their full potential. I have always had a keen interest in the workings of the mind and how our individual experiences color our perception of life experiences.

Are you feeling stuck and overwhelmed by emotions like sadness, anger, and anxiety? If so, you are in good company because many people carry deep wounds from painful experiences where they learned beliefs about themselves or the world that limit their potential. The good news is we are capable of healing these wounds. I am a Level 1 Trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist who guides clients through a transformative journey of exploring the complexities of their emotions, behaviors, and underlying beliefs. Through this healing process, we will uncover self-compassion, resilience, and a deep sense of wholeness.

What do you want of this life? Are you living in alignment? What is being called to change? I'm here to help you heal, transform, and connect with your life force. This includes navigating difficult emotions, relationships, life transitions, and illuminating the most important things in your life; to free yourself from outdated patterns and become an active creator of your narrative.

Are you feeling down? Not getting as much enjoyment from life as you want? Do you feel tired and worn out all the time? You know things aren't right, but don't know how to fix them. I help people make sense of confusing emotions. Imagine what it would feel like to put these difficult emotions behind you and to be living a life filled with purpose and meaning. I've created a revolutionary depth-oriented therapy program called "The BETR" method, which helps people find long-term relief from challenging emotions. I care deeply about the people I work with, and I look forward to helping you begin living the life you want and deserve.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive training and experience helping people confronting challenges including anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families. As an integrative therapist, I draw on techniques from cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal therapies to help people lead more fulfilling, meaningful lives, sharpening coping skills and facilitating improved self-understanding. My style is relational, and I find that working collaboratively with my patients to identify treatment priorities and course helps make the experience most beneficial and rewarding. I believe that a strong therapeutic fit is paramount.

For me, the focus of therapy is not primarily to fix disorders or cure diseases; I seek to increase your positive life skills rather than address negative patterns. What happens in the therapy hour is a microcosm of life at large. How you do anything is how you do everything. And so, I give special attention to the actual, to the present moment, in particular your immediate subjective experience. Ultimately, when you become aware of your resistance(s) to pain and return to wholeness and authenticity, my work is done.
