Male Therapists in Novato, CA

My clients are individuals who despite experiencing success in their lives, often find themselves struggling in relationships. They may experience anxiety, depression, and excessive self-criticism. As we look deeper into this we discover patterns of codependency and low self-esteem. These patterns most often are learned through cumulative childhood experiences. Through talking with me, my clients learn how to relate to their emotions as part of their inner wisdom. They learn how boundaries work and use them to practice self-care. They learn to navigate internal and relational conflict with newfound skill, while practicing self-love.

I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist for couples. In this therapy we re-frame and restructure the emotional experience you have with your partner. We help you move from conflict and disappointment to intimacy and love. We all want to be seen, heard and understood by our partner; to feel our loved one is accessible, responsive and engaged. This therapy, through experiential work in the sessions, accomplishes amazing shifts in the safety, closeness and love felt with your partner. My approach is highly interactive and experiential.

Hi my name is Daniel and I help young people (and the young at heart) to have more connected and meaningful relationships with their families. Is your family experiencing high levels of conflict? Is your young person acting out at home or at school? Is your young person (or are you) questioning their/your gender identity or sexuality? Do you want a more harmonious family life? If you find yourself here asking one of these questions, I am here to support you and your family. I work with teens, adults and families to support them in building stronger connections and more secure attachments using a relational approach.

In individual therapy I join with the patient to establish a relationship in which we will explore developmental relational issues that cause pain and suffering. Such issues begin as intense emotions, but they can be understood, accepted, and integrated. This process leads to healing and change. Life takes on new perspectives as the emotional self provides new information about the external and internal world that brings stability and vitality to the personality. The relationship between us deepens allowing us to explore the complex dimensions of personality that allow for growth and development unique to the individual.

Thank you for reading! I imagine you are here because you are searching for something; an answer to your pain and suffering. People don't typically come to therapy because all is well; they are looking for relief from the pain. We will sit together in that pain because pain shared is pain decreased. And then we begin to take action to feel more in control of our lives. Taking action is the perfect antidote to that crippling sense of powerlessness. Yes, there are many things we can't control; we identify them and let them go. And, there are many things we can control, primarily through a change in perspective.

It's hard to find the right therapist. I get it! My intention is to be as straightforward and compassionate as possible. I work with people from many walks of life.

I draw from 25+ years of professional experience blending insights and supportive tools from psychology and non-denominational spirituality. Whether you're newer to this process or a "seasoned client," I work best with people who are committed to inner growth. I provide psychotherapy as well as life and business coaching.

Whether borderline, narcissistic or simply toxic, wounded and self-centered parents create wounded children. And these children grow up without the basics of warmth and kindness, acceptance and encouragement. In order to survive, we adapt to the needs of our demanding parents. That might mean we learn to parent our parent. Or we develop antennae and quickly respond to their changing moods and needs, simultaneously ignoring our own. We hope if we do and say the right thing long enough, then one day they will be strong enough to finally take care of us. But that day may never come.
