Many people find themselves feeling stuck in life or navigating low mental wellbeing from time to time. When this happens, it may be a good time to consider seeking therapy from a licensed professional. 

If you’re looking for a therapist, Danville, CA has a lot of community mental health services to offer. For example, providers at Mt. Diablo Psychological Services offer dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which can be very effective for people experiencing intense emotions. Other providers in the area offer marriage and family therapy to address family conflict, and emotionally focused therapy—which is often recommended for people navigating mental health disorders or issues in family life. 

If you don’t want to travel across town to an in-person Danville office, online therapy might be a good option. In addition to avoiding a commute, online therapy is typically more affordable than in-person therapy, and many people say they feel more comfortable attending sessions from the comfort of home. 

The licensed therapists listed below possess a master’s degree or higher in psychology, and they offer online therapy services across many areas in Contra Costa County, including Danville, San Ramon, and San Francisco. You can learn more a therapist by going to their profile and reading about their background, specializations, and licensing information. In their profile, you’ll also find verified reviews from clients, which can help you decide who you might want to work with.
