We are a group of therapists dedicated to providing high quality psychotherapy in the East Bay - the Rockridge district of Oakland and El Cerrito. We work with individuals, couples, and families. Though we each have our own particular areas of expertise, we all share a commitment to integrity, excellence, and quality of care. No one therapist is right for all people or every issue. Therefore, we have joined together to support one another in our beliefs, values, and continued clinical development in an effort to better respond to the diversity of needs in our community.
