Therapists in Napa County, CA

My entire therapeutic approach is based around your needs, your experiences, and your strengths. I won't assume I understand your situation. Instead, I will listen and get to know your unique experience. I won't dictate answers or determine your path. But I will be honest with you about what I see, and I'm not afraid to tell you when something isn't working. While I take pride in my education and experience, I am most proud of my ability to engage my clients, help them to feel comfortable, and earn their trust.

Marriage can be extremely challenging, especially if your childhood was less than ideal. I help couples learn to listen to each other and talk about difficult issues without being triggered by past events or experiences. These reactions can cause defensiveness, or result in attacks on, or withdrawal from, the other. I help change these patterns, facilitate productive discussions and help you get the love and closeness back in your marriage. Couples can heal, become stronger in their bond and rejoin in love even after an affair or infatuation. I have 29 years of experience as an insight-oriented psychotherapist working with individuals and couples.

Is anxiety, anger, or resentment keeping you from fully enjoying life or connecting with others? Do you find yourself struggling with life changes, low self-esteem, relationships, depression, identity (sexuality/gender), addiction, or trauma? Maybe deep down you know there's a more fulfilling path but challenges seem to hold you back. I'm passionate about helping you find a path forward by achieving your goals and building a life that feels meaningful. For couples, I utilize the Developmental Model by the Couple's Institute, including Initiator and Inquirer techniques to enhance communication.

For over two decades I have been working with adults, adolescents, couples and families to improve their lives. Together we identify and focus on replacing ineffective old patterns with new ones.

I enjoy working with clients who are sensitive and seek help understanding and coping with the lessons behind their current problems. I teach coping strategies.

I help people connect to their higher spiritual nature and their purpose in this life. I am a Reiki Master and natural intuitive, and I have been seeing clients for more than 40 years.

Hello, my name is Anthony. I am grateful for the opportunity to introduce myself; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker experienced in working with adults and adolescents.

We usually come to therapy when we feel stuck and just need someone to help us figure out how to get to the other side. I often think of the ups and downs in our lives as being like the ocean. It constantly changes, ebbs and flows. Often, during the ebbing times in our lives, we need help to figure out how to make our lives flow again or how to “hold on” until it naturally does.

I can help you if you are motivated, tailoring what we do to your needs, talents, strengths, and challenges; I look for the best in my clients and respect how different we all are, believing in the hidden genius and wisdom in everyone. I will not judge you and focus on empathy, acceptance, understanding, and a very good connection with my clients. I enjoy people from all cultures, ethnicities, and walks of life and thus speak several languages.

When life and relationships get(or have been for a long time) tough. When anxiety gets in the way of enjoyment, fulfillment and productivity. When it is just harder than it used to be to get anything done. When you feel stuck or see a transition ahead, but feel unsure how to move forward. When you feel alone or lonely and need support to build a better lifestyle that fits your hopes. When self-esteem gets in your way or you find yourself depending on external things(i.e. people, substances, behaviors) to bring joy. ---An unbiased place to work through things like this is an important part of a change that is best for you.
