San Rafael Therapists specializing in Anxiety

Cheryl Clementson

I am drawn to those who are in transition or processing a loss of some sort; of romantic relationships, careers, loss of family members, or grieving parenting they didn't receive. I love to work with people who are struggling with issues of self esteem, shame, and anxiety. I find it very rewarding to help individuals to develop a stronger relationship with themselves using self compassion and acceptance and then to help individuals empower themselves to make wanted changes.

Do the “shoulds” dictate your every move? Are you a “people pleaser” putting the needs and wants of others in front of yours? Do you constantly take care of others at the expense of yourself? Do you frequently second guess or doubt yourself? Doing these things means we ignore our own wants, needs and values. Living out of alignment with yourself leads to feeling lost, discontent, anxious, low self-esteem, disconnected, unfulfilled, regret, resentment, or grief.

Mariel Barcebal

You might identify as a people pleaser, often shrinking yourself and prioritizing others' needs over your own. You may long to cultivate a deep sense of self-connection and address longstanding emotional patterns at their source while releasing yourself from cycles of intergenerational trauma passed down through your lineage. You seek to live your life with authenticity, clarity, and intention; staying connected not only to yourself, but also building strong communities around you.

Often, our past relationships leave us wounded. The story that we tell ourselves becomes permeated with negative thoughts, low self-worth, and shame. As these feelings manifest, we become anxious and depressed. We might experience isolation, loneliness, and a loss of connection to others and to ourselves. Therapy can help us discover perspectives that create a new narrative, one in which we have different ways to manage our emotions and lead a more enjoyable life.

Danielle Forastieri Short

My clients are creatives, artists, healers, highly sensitive people, and empaths. They are also people who are struggling with chronic pain and/or fatigue, low self-esteem, people pleasing, attachment wounding, nervous system regulation and executive functioning.

Many of us struggle to find, or be happy, in our personal relationships. And it can feel like a mystery as to why it is so difficult to feel seen and understood by a partner. Some of us may feel we give too much energy to our relationships, while some of us feel reticent to engage at more intimate levels. I work with clients to pinpoint the personal struggles and self-beliefs that are impeding the ability to feel comfortable and energized in relationship.

Jamie Kellenberger

I work best with clients who want to go deep to address: • Depression, isolation, or overwhelm • Grief and loss • Anxiety • Perfectionism & inner critic • Finding new ways to cope • Difficulty in intimate relationships • Trauma • Burnout

Lisa Hobson

We would begin our work together by defining your therapeutic goals, and understanding how they interact with your social context, your skills, your assets, and your challenges. We would talk about coping strategies, self-care, and boundaries. You would risk adopting new thoughts, perspectives, and behaviors. You would commit to working on yourself outside of our sessions, where it really matters. And, after all your hard work you would be ready to celebrate your successes.

Melanie Ferrari

I'm queer and LGBTQIA+ aligned, and many of my clients tend to be as well. I use attachment and trauma informed psych models, and have treated a lot of high-trauma and late diagnosis clients. I'm authentic and direct, and that works very well with people who prefer direct communication and people on the autism and ADHD spectrums.

I specialize in working with fellow activists, therapists and healers, misfits, creatives, doers, and more. I’m committed to serving individuals across racial backgrounds, abilities, genders, and sexual orientations who may have been underserved or harmed by the field of psychotherapy.

Theo Kuczek

You're looking for someone who will be straight with you. You like to be educated about psychological concepts to understand and support your growth and healing inside and outside of sessions. You want someone who sees your uniqueness and helps you dissipate the shame with ways you may feel insecure or inadequate. You want your therapist to be a real person with you in session, someone who shares stories about their own experience in life if it helps you grow.

Do you have overwhelming emotions, mood changes, and/or intrusive thoughts that have caused distress in your life? Are they preventing you from living a fulfilling life?

My Clients work is to live out, moment to moment, choice by choice, authentic life stories that make their world more satisfying. Things are really hard right now - it is more important than ever to have support. That looks different for everyone, but whether it's relationship, work, family, parenting - or all of the above, create some space and a plan to walk through it - together. My Practice includes Individuals, Couples and Elders from all walks -

Catherine Ferreira-Babor

I understand that starting therapy with a total stranger takes a leap of faith. You hope that you will feel better but you can't help but worry that you wont. While I treat a variety of issues, a universal element of my work has to do with helping people see that their "problems" are not insurmountable, nor are they evidence that they are weak, stupid, or damaged. It may not come naturally to you to feel compassion for yourself but I hope that through me you will see that you deserve it.

Brooke Van Oosbree

Many of my clients are facing a crossroads when they begin therapy - embarking on parenthood, rethinking career choices; both craving and dreading a change. They are often struggling with anxiety in its many forms - panic, OCD, perfectionism, phobias, avoidance, etc. I also offer neurodiversity-affirming psychological assessments for adults exploring possible diagnoses or seeking better understanding of their emotional functioning and neurotype strengths and challenges.
