Our Specialized Therapist is Confident We Can Help Reduce the Stress & Burden You Are Carrying
“Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but you are not the rain.” — Matt Haig
Your mental health and overall well-being are so important.
You are so important.
We want you to be excited about life and have the confidence to move forward.
It’s not going to be easy.
However, if you’re willing to show up to meet with our online therapist virtually or in person in Pleasanton,
we know that we can help you take off the weight of the world that you’ve been carrying.
Begin Your Journey to Healing in 3 steps
Reach Out
Reaching out for the first time is one of the hardest steps, so we try to make it super easy. You can connect with a therapist by phone, text, email or form below. Most of the time, we aren’t able to answer the phone. So, we’ll get back to you within a day. From there, we’ll schedule you for a complimentary chat.
Complimentary Chat
I’ll call you or we can meet online through Zoom. We’ll have our 20 minute chat where we’ll briefly go over what is going on in your life. I’ll ask some questions, you can ask questions too! If you decide you want to work with Stephanie, we’ll schedule your first therapy session.
We also have a huge FAQ page that might help answer some of your questions!
First Session
Ah! The first session! This is really a get to know each other session and for your online therapist (Stephanie) to get to know you better. We’ll start talking about how life can look differently. Nothing is written in stone and our therapy appointments are completely flexible to what you need.
Not Your Typical Online Therapist in California
Boring therapy with a disengaged “poker face” therapist that politely nods along in agreement is NOT what you are going to get here!
We believe that to be engaged in the best therapeutic relationship, the therapist has to be themselves in session too.
You might get some light cursing.
Sometimes you will get some life stories.
You will be heard.
Enjoy unconditional positive regard.
We will help you call yourself out on your sh*t.
You will get an authentic therapist, with both real-life and professional experience, with lots of training, supervision, and consultation.
Work on what matters most to you – in a way that works for you – so you can live your life for you
While we have a ton of training as a therapist, lots of experience, and continue to learn about new therapy models, cutting-edge therapy techniques, and the very best evidence-based practices. We don’t stay in “one lane” when it comes to therapy.
You are an individual person with your own set of experiences, personality & background.
There isn’t a cookie-cutter therapy model here. You’re dynamic and we believe your therapy should be too.
As long as you are willing to show up and do the work, we’ll help you do the “heavy lifting” so you can start enjoying life again.
