In Person Therapists in Union City, CA

Hi there! I'm Megan. I am a licensed clinical social worker and it is my mission to support my clients through their challenges and struggles and to help them find healing.

Hola! I am a bilingual LMFT. It is my priority to offer culturally responsive, social justice-oriented, LGBTQ+-affirming therapy that serve the unique needs of each client. Are you looking for a trauma-focused therapist that has experience working with individuals and families who have experienced single and or complex trauma events in childhood or adulthood and intergenerational trauma? I have experience working with trauma, family conflict, mood disorders, etc. I practice evidence-based treatments such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems and can tailor other techniques based on your needs.

Do you feel overworked, over-stressed, and overwhelmed? Many of my clients come into therapy struggling with some form of stress and anxiety, particularly stemming from an unease and dissatisfaction with how their life is going. Many feel “stuck” — uncertain on how to handle these nagging feelings. I have extensive experience working with professionals in highly demanding career fields, especially those dealing with high levels of stress and anxiety in their job. I specialize in working with Type-A, high achievers, particularly those struggling with issues such as work/life balance, perfectionism, and impostor syndrome.

Are you looking for a way to find peace in the midst of pain? Ready to heal your wounds and come through stronger than before? I help adults with depression, anxiety, or trauma to reconnect with themselves and develop resilience and confidence, even when they feel they have already tried everything. Clients have described me as warm, compassionate, and genuine. I create a space where you can feel safe and understood, but also feel empowered to take risks and sometimes stretch beyond your comfort zone. I believe in every person’s ability to create the life they envision.

My name is Doctor Mike Denn. I am a licensed clinical psychologist. My approach to therapy is called Rational Living Therapy. My focus in therapy is to make you be better, not just feel better. I have helped all kinds of clients and I focus on making you feel understood and accepted. A lot of the healing that happens is the result of you being really heard, maybe for the first time in your life. This is what I want to provide you. My goal is to help you understand that it is not other people who are causing your problems but rather how you think about and interpret the situation that is causing your problems.

I am passionate about supporting adults who are suffering from despair, shame, guilt or complicated traumas and are ready to break free from unhealthy generational cycles of suffering. Are you ready to dive deep within yourself to uncover the pain, bring light to your darkest parts and harmonize the most destabilizing aspects of yourself?

Therapy is a journey of self-discovery and growth. It provides a supportive and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. My goal is to help you gain insight into your challenges and work towards creating a fulfilling and meaningful life. Whether you are facing difficulties with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other issues, therapy can help you find the path to healing and happiness.

Do you find yourself falling into unhelpful patterns, without knowing why or how to change them? I am Francisca Ammerman, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I help clients gain clarity around what needs to shift and provide the support to try out new ways of being in the world. Ensuring a safe, comfortable, and calming environment, I utilized different theoretical approaches to match my client's needs. This can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered, and Solution Focused.

Welcome to a therapeutic journey focused on fostering awareness, resolving issues, gaining insight, and strengthening relationships. As a dedicated therapist, I specialize in working with both individuals and families, providing a supportive space for growth and healing. Together, we'll explore the depths of your emotions, navigate challenges, and uncover new perspectives to promote personal and relational well-being. Whether you're seeking to address specific concerns, enhance communication, or simply deepen your self-understanding, I'm here to accompany you on your path to greater clarity, connection, and resilience.

My name is Ana Maldonado and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Ventura, California. I am currently working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults, adolescents, and families, and specialize in anxiety, stress, and family conflict. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Strength Based Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.

Hello! I'm Kristi Tomlinson, a psychotherapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am passionate about helping those who are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, and trauma by using somatic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR Therapy. From my experience, I believe people are incredibly resilient with the proper support, tools, and healing. I work with adults who want help for anxiety and trauma. This includes generalized anxiety disorder, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, panic disorder, and trauma/PTSD.

Do you struggle with overwhelming emotions? Maybe you are frozen by anxiety or overrun by worries you can't control. Or you feel so numb, empty and hopeless that you can't concentrate or work. These emotions cause you to snap at others or retreat so that your relationships are not what you want them to be. In our sessions, you will learn what keeps you stuck and identify new ways thinking and behaving so you can move forward. You will also learn what to do when you are feeling intense emotions and be able to stop avoiding life.

I strongly believe that the quality of the client-therapist relationship is a powerful asset to change and that client-therapist collaboration in the therapy process, a warm working relationship and agreement on goals provide the best outcomes. I see my clients as their own experts in their lives and that my role is to inspire, guide, educate, support, coach, and encouraged. Stylistically, I believe in staying active during the session, providing immediate feedback and assisting in problem-solving.

We can work together to find what's best for you and your child right now.

I’ve learned that we all will experience pain, hardships, and valleys - where we could use some hope and help, to find our way out. Those valleys can be difficult, devastating, and overwhelming at times, especially to face on our own. In those difficult times, trauma’s effects, emotional wounds, life burdens, relational challenges, and transitions - can seem insurmountable to navigate, and sometimes struggles enter our life: by surprise, at length, or in great abundance.

Loneliness, pain, fear, and loss can weigh so heavy on our hearts and block us from fully living out our lives with joy and purpose. If you are in a place of feeling trapped and in need of relief and hope, I am so glad you are here. It is from my own experiences with grief, anxiety, and depression, and the healing I received from therapy that I felt called to be a therapist. I have a heart to create a warm and inviting space for my clients to show up as they are and feel fully heard, seen, and accepted. I desire to support and empower my clients as they process through their pain and work towards healing and transformation.

Growing up, I heard a lot of negative things about therapy. You may have also experienced a cultural stigma against the idea of talking about your innermost thoughts and feelings with someone other than family or friends. However, I believe everyone can work towards happiness with the right kind of support in their lives. I provide online counseling for adults or teens who are seeking help with anxiety, post traumatic stress, prenatal & postpartum concerns, high-pressure work/school, and more.
