Therapists in Danville, CA
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.

25 years offering treatment
I was a nurse first. As I worked in various settings with the goal of helping people recover from illness I realized that those who were motivated by a support team who knew them and helped them do the work of healing were the survivors. I decided I wanted to go on to learn more about how to help the whole person. My graduate degree followed by a three year training in Gestalt therapy gave me the tools to provide this deeper level of emotional first aid. As a fellow traveler along the road of life I know we all have challenges but I also have gained the wisdom to see that we have choices. I guide people to become aware of their life themes with the goal of strengthening their sense of self. Getting a handle on one’s self is very centering and stabilizing. It doesn’t eliminate anxiety or hard times, but it usually changes the perception of catastrophe and the feeling of panic into more manageable perceptions of disappointment and feelings of pain or sadness. I challenge you to risk living fully, to learn and grow from the challenges that life presents. Only then can you experience real joy. I am honored to be witness to your process.
