Teletherapy for Mountain View, CA

Hi! My name is Virginia and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 6 years of experience in providing mental health and case management services to adults, adolescents, and the elderly. I have provided individual and group therapy to patients within the community mental health agencies, hospitals, and prisons. I have a passion for working with diverse and multicultural populations. I believe everyone has a unique story, journey, and life experience that needs to be shared and I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment to explore and express that story.

With over 10 years of clinical work experience in the mental health field, my work is grounded in the belief that we are all capable of having meaningful and satisfying lives. Whether you are struggling with a relationship conflict, grieving a significant loss, experiencing a lack of joy, or perhaps a career change, I offer support and guidance to work through feelings of confusion, self-doubt, or fear that often accompany these challenges. I look forward to the possibility of working with you and learning more about your needs and collaborating with you on your journey of discovery and growth.

Therapy can feel daunting. What should I talk about? What if I’m not sure where to start? What if nothing big happened this week? In the space we create together, you get to be exactly who you are, where you are, and with whatever you bring to the table. As human beings, we all have basic needs that include safety, belonging, and connection. When our needs aren’t being met, it can feel difficult to break unhelpful patterns or make positive change. You might be experiencing negative self talk, unhelpful patterns of thought or behavior, symptoms of depression or anxiety, or problems in your relationships.

"Are you in a major life transition? I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are interested in examining those aspects of your life that are not working and have you stressed out. I help my clients uncover their core issues rapidly, generate breakthroughs and offer you tools to achieve sustainable results.

Do you sometimes ask yourself: I feel angry, disappointed, or depressed. What can I do? I tried everything, nothing works in the long term. Why are my relationships so unfulfilling? During sessions, you are guided to discover the parts of your Self that are in conflict. They have conflicting goals, perspectives, and beliefs. Those "parts" often pull you in opposite directions - "I want to eat, but I also want to lose weight" for example. Then you criticize yourself for not being more responsible, productive, etc... Get to understand why they pull you in opposite directions and how to negotiate with them.

I am an LPCC, who works with adolescents (age 14+), young adults, and adults. I am committed to helping individuals realize their full potential by assisting them in identifying problems in their lives, and how these problems are keeping them from attaining their goals. I work in a collaborative, solution-focused manner, using CBT and other empirically sound techniques, for dealing with life stressors. My techniques are based upon the needs of each individual. In addition to being a psychotherapist, I am a certified yoga and meditation instructor, and I find that this discipline enhances my psychotherapy practice.

I have been fortunate enough to work with people of all ages, and it has taught me that when given the opportunity, each person is able to step into the best version of themselves even when their circumstances are difficult. At the core of our being, we all long to be connected, whether that is with others in relationships or with ourselves. My experience has allowed me to work predominantly with adults who have experienced depression, self-harm, anxiety, postpartum depression, relationship issues, work/life balance, adjustment disorders, and trauma (including various forms of abuse and violence).

Navigating life stressors can be overwhelming and difficult for children, adolescents and parents. Watching a child struggle with mental health concerns can be difficult to know where to get additional help, and know how to approach behaviors at home. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe place that will allow children and adolescents to feel comfortable to talk about what is bothering them and learn how to cope with their stressors, as well as help parents feel like they can understand their child in their individual needs.

Hello! My name is Lindsay. I love to talk about your childhood! I work with your identity (how you see yourself) and where events happen in your development. I enjoy helping you find the real you and having better relationships with those around you. I especially love working with anger. Let's process your life events together.

Welcome! It's easy to feel like there's a magic formula for parenting, and sadly, there isn't. I have spent the past 12 years working with teens and their families and appreciate the tremendous time and effort that comes with raising teens, especially teens who may require mental health support or higher levels of care.

Do you feel misunderstood and confused about who you are? Or is your child struggling but you're uncertain of how to support them through their various life transitions? Unspoken, unprocessed, and negative thoughts can become heavy to carry. We live in a busy, noisy, and messy world and it can feel overwhelming to sort through and untangle the unwanted thoughts in our minds.

Are you seeking clarity, connection, and confidence in your life and relationships? With over 15 years of experience as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am here to guide you through the complexities and challenges you may be facing. Life can be overwhelming, and it's natural to encounter difficulties along the way. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, communication problems within the family, families of divorce, academic stress, body image issues, or social anxiety, you are not alone. These challenges can significantly impact your well-being and relationships, but they are also opportunities for growth.

I am comfortable working with a diverse population and a diversity of presenting problems. I have an extensive background working with anxiety-related disorders and can offer several techniques to reduce anxiety. I also specialize in women’s issues and I offer interventions to help navigate some of the mental health concerns women face as related to gender. Helping others through tough transitions and mental health difficulties is my passion. It is the evolution of the client-therapist relationship that drives me to do this work.

The challenges you face day-to-day can feel overwhelming. Equally challenging is finding someone who is willing to listen and help you overcome the thoughts that occupy your mind longer than they should. As a licensed mental health clinician trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, I offer my clients the attention, skill, and planning to develop strategies to improve their lives. As a potential client, I welcome you to reach out and allow me to work collaboratively with you.

Are you tired of feeling stuck in the same old patterns and behaviors? Longing for a change but struggling to find the motivation and guidance to make it happen? Struggling to make changes on your own? Using drugs, alcohol, eating, or scrolling (any unhelpful/unhealthy habits) to escape the day-to-day? Making a shift in our lives can be challenging, but with the right motivation and help, it is possible. Do something about behavior and patterns standing in your way. It’s time to move toward what you value with action to live the life you want.

Hi there, I'm Deanna, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. As an Asian American woman of immigrant parents, I am passionate about helping diverse marginalized populations, young adults, and teens because I believe these populations are often unseen and struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Asian Americans from immigrant families hit close to home! I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am solution-focused and may address intergenerational/historical trauma if needed. I also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques.

Hi, my name is JoAnn Scott. My mission as a therapist is to initially help people develop hope, then help them discover their best selves during our therapeutic journey.

Wellness: it is unique to each and every one of us. What works for you may not work for the next person. As a therapist, it is extremely important for me to understand what you are dealing with, from your own perspective. I take a very collaborative approach and do my best to be as thorough as possible when exploring the challenges you are facing. I provide feedback and tools to assist you in developing insight. Regardless of what you may be dealing with, there is an opportunity to overcome, and I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most dynamic factor to achieving long lasting change.
