If you are looking for a seasoned, versatile, pragmatic and easy to talk to therapist focused on helping you improve or solve whatever issue(s) you face, I am ready to help when you are. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD in Behavioral Medicine/Health Psychology, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy certification from the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, 16 years of very diverse therapeutic experience and 25 years of corporate experience. My practice approach centers on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Research shows that CBT is the gold standard for addressing depression and anxiety-related issues and both are very easy to understand and apply, taking the mystery out of understanding what is going on and how to improve it. Both entail working collaboratively in a structured and pragmatic way to identify and replace self-defeating thoughts and behaviors that may be contributing to the problem. They put an emphasis on here and now solutions and include utilizing concrete strategies and tools that can enable you to cope effectively with your current situation as well as determining and taking steps toward a better future. Both are meant to be short-term and focused on empowering you to become your own therapist. For clients interested in shadow work, in-depth personal growth and fulfillment, or exploring life patterns, I also work with Jungian or Analytical Psychology core concepts. My clients appreciate how present and attentive I am and generally everyone is surprised by my ability to remember details of our previous sessions without looking at my notes, making them feel very seen, heard, understood and remembered.

Hello there, my name is Mark Shokair and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I hold a masters degree in counseling psychology from California State University East Bay. I've been working in the mental health field for more than 15 years. During that time I have worked with many different populations including children, teenagers, adults, couples and families. I have worked with varying levels of severity ranging from mild dysfunction to severe disorders. Currently I work in a private practice setting with people who struggle with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, anger management, work problems and relationship problems. I tailor my approach to each client individually to help each individual achieve their goals. Sometimes people want to change the way they think, others simply want to feel better. There are times when you feel stuck where life just isn't working and you need to do something different to keep moving forward. In order to help each individual achieve their goals I use varying modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavior Therapy, Trauma Focused and Insight Oriented Techniques. Whatever challenges we face in life we can find the answers. Let's work together to get your life moving again. I look forward to speaking with you.

I know it can be overwhelming to take early steps toward the changes you want in life. Coping with our struggles already takes a huge amount of energy. Choosing a therapist is a big step. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where I can use my professional tools while we work on mental, emotional, and relationship issues. I will provide transparency throughout the process, so you are informed and know what to expect. I am a culturally competent Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of counseling experience. I received my Master of Science in Psychology from California Polytechnic State University. I am currently licensed to practice in California and Wisconsin. My areas of greatest expertise are relationships, grief and other losses/life changes. However, I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, low self-esteem, and addiction. I also have had experience working with pre and postnatal issues, including parenting challenges. I consider myself to be primarily a humanistic and cognitive behavioral therapist. However, treatment should be adapted to an individual’s needs and what works best for them. We can work together to figure out what treatment looks like for you. I look forward to meeting you and starting your therapy!

Hello, my name is Joseph De Vico. Let’s talk. We’ll work together until that unsolvable problem is history, until that overwhelming pain is bearable, until the dream future that seems a million miles away is right in front of you. You’ve always been strong, resourceful, and intuitive. I’m just going to help clear away the junk you’re trapped beneath so you can actually feel that way: false beliefs that make life seem harder than it really is; stories about yourself that are so outdated, they have nothing to do with who you are now; distractions that keep you from deciding what is most meaningful to you; power imbalances that take away good things that are rightfully yours. This stuff has to go. What will you feel when you feel better? Peaceful? Hopeful? Whole? Decisive? Free? Seen, validated, grounded, elevated, invigorated, triumphant? Just plain better? When do we start?
