Areas We Specialize In

Mental Health Concerns

Anxiety

We help you manage excessive worry, panic attacks, and social fears with practical tools to calm the nervous system. Our goal is to help you challenge your anxiety and regain a sense of peace and control in your daily life.

Depression

Our team provides compassionate care for those navigating the heavy weight of depression. We work with you to identify the root causes of your sadness and build coping strategies to restore energy and hope.

PTSD

We offer specialized trauma therapy using evidence-based approaches to process traumatic memories safely. This helps reduce flashbacks and hypervigilance so you can move forward with resilience and strength.

ADHD

Our ADHD support focuses on executive functioning, focus, and emotional regulation. We help clients understand their unique brain wiring and develop strategies to navigate work, school, and relationships more effectively.

Eating Disorders

We provide a supportive environment to heal your relationship with food and body image. Our therapists work to address the underlying emotional triggers of eating disorders, guiding clients toward recovery and self-acceptance.

High Acuity

For clients with complex or intensive mental health needs, our San Jose clinicians are equipped to handle crisis intervention. We offer a higher level of support to stabilize severe symptoms with care and expertise.

Neurodiversity Affirming

We offer therapy that honors and respects autistic and ADHD minds rather than trying to “fix” them. Our approach focuses on unmasking, sensory needs, and advocacy to help you thrive authentically.

Populations

Children & Teens

Our therapy for Children & Teens offers a safe space to navigate social pressures, anxiety, and growing pains. We help young people build emotional resilience and self-esteem through connection and understanding.

Couples

Couples therapy helps partners address communication issues, trust concerns, and emotional distance. We provide a structured environment to rebuild trust and foster deeper emotional connections within your relationship.

Families

Our family therapy sessions address conflict and communication struggles within the home. We work with the whole family to resolve underlying issues, strengthening emotional bonds and creating a more supportive home environment.

LGBTQIA2S+

We provide a supportive, affirming space for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals to explore identity and self-acceptance. Our San Jose office specializes in helping clients navigate societal pressures and develop strategies for a fulfilling, authentic life.

Women's Mental Health

From navigating career pressures to pregnancy and postpartum changes, we offer specialized support for women. Our therapists empower you to prioritize your well-being while managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Men's Mental Health

We help men in our community break through stigma and build emotional intelligence. Our therapy provides a confidential space to discuss stress, anger, and relationship challenges without judgment.

Therapy Approaches

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

We have therapists in San Jose that specialize in EMDR therapy. EMDR therapy uses guided eye movement techniques to help patients dealing with trauma, PTSD, and emotional distress to process and reframe past traumatic experiences.

Play Therapy

Designed for our younger clients, Play Therapy allows children to express emotions and solve problems naturally. Our therapists create a safe playroom environment where kids can process feelings they may not have the words for yet.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

CBT is a structured, practical approach that helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns. We use this to treat anxiety and depression by teaching you how to change the way you think and behave.

DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)

DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness to help regulate intense emotions. We use these skills to improve interpersonal effectiveness, making it highly effective for mood disorders.

Gottman

Our therapists specializing in couples utilize the Gottman Method, a research-based approach to relationships. We help couples manage conflict, deepen friendship, and create shared meaning with practical tools.

EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy)

EFT focuses on the emotional bond between partners to reshape negative interaction cycles. Our therapists help couples in San Jose create a more secure attachment and a deeper sense of safety with one another.

IFS (Internal Family Systems)

IFS is a transformative model that views the mind as being made of multiple “parts.” Our therapists guide you to understand and heal these wounded parts, fostering self-compassion and inner harmony.
