East Bay Individual Counseling

Improve your relationships and quality of life with individual counseling at North Berkeley Couples Therapy Center. Our expertise is rooted attachment focused therapy and cultivating healthy communication, intimacy and relationships.

If your compassion does not include you, it’s incomplete.
— Jack Kornfield

 

At North Berkeley Couples Therapy Center, we are highly trained in attachment theory and other modalities. Our practitioners have training in Somatics Experiencing, trauma therapy, mindfulness based therapies and the latest research in neuroscience that allows us to facilitate your healing and change through our therapeutic relationship .  Current research in neurobiology has shown that our brains can actually change structure within the context of secure and safe relationships.  This creates profound and lasting change that expands out into all of your relationships.  In therapy we co-create a secure relationship which provides the space for the healing transformation you seek.

 

You're not alone.

We can help you navigate life transitions, reconnect to your compassion & deepen your self understanding.

My approach is compassionate, relational (direct) and non-judgmental. I encourage you to cultivate self-compassion and to connect to yourself & others. I have extensive training in using current models like Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Somatics Experiencing methods to help you heal trauma and experience transformative healing.
