Kentfield Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Adam Cohen

Adolescents/teens, young adults, and people across the gender and sexuality spectrums are my areas of focus. I specifically help people relieve the symptoms of shame, anxiety, depression, and inner criticism by guiding them towards self-understanding and self-compassion with action-oriented steps.

Kerry Graser

I work with individuals, both long and short-term on issues of anxiety, depression, overcoming pain from the past, and a general feeling of being “stuck.” I also specialize in working with the LGBTQ community, and more specifically, gender nonconforming and transgender adolescents. I provide gender assessments, parenting consultations and individual therapy. I recognize that parents may be simultaneously going through a process of their own as their child’s gender expression changes.

Derek Rubinstein

I work with a broad range of people struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma (shock and complex/developmental), interpersonal problems, obsessive/compulsive patterns of thinking and behaving, substance use/abuse, ADHD, High Functioning Autism/Asperger's, personal discovery and spiritual development, preparation and integration of psychedelic experiences or other expanded states of consciousness, and people interested in vipassana/mindfulness meditation.

Ryan Gertz

I have over ten years experience working with psychedelic harm-reduction and integration practices, that include syncretic western, eastern and indigenous modalities. I have background in ADHD and self-identified neurodivergent groups. Conscious mens work, conscious relationship work, child and teenager challenges, anxiety, depression, OCD, unclear and unnameable burdens of daily life, life transitions.

Dr. Nadia Thalji

I help individuals and couples improve their relationship with self and others. Relationships with different ethnic, racial, cultural, and national identities. The interplay of traditions, politics, economics, and religious beliefs. In addition, family dynamics with certain role expectations, values, beliefs, communication, and emotional expression. Telehealth available for California residents.

Jess Gioia

Looking for a couple's therapist is stressful; it's even harder when you're queer or kinky or poly or a sex worker. No one wants to worry about being judged or having to explain basic aspects of your relationship before getting anything done. That's why I specialize in couples from sexual and gender minority groups- our common basis of understanding accelerates the pace at which we can work toward that vision of ideal partnership which is unique to you.

Sara Okman

I specialize in helping clients foster better relationships with themselves and their loved ones. Through couples counseling or individual work, I help identify unhealthy patterns that are causing disconnection, address and heal traumatic underpinnings that are keeping relationships stuck, and teach new tools that increase intimacy and trust. You will learn how to stop beating yourself up with negative self talk, and form a practice of radical self compassion.

Reika Faust

Have you ever experienced an event that has impacted you and left you feeling unsettled? Have difficulty connecting with others? Belittle or judge yourself for things beyond your control? Do you struggle to find meaning or a positive and healthy relationship with yourself or others? Join me in a healing journey where I can help support and give you the tools that will allow you to navigate the challenges of this wild rollercoaster we call life.

Paula Mierzejewski

Marla Caplan

My clients are highly sensitive people who frequently express themselves as artists, writers, thinkers and makers. I work with individuals seeking to actualize their most authentic self and help couples and families to repair their relationships and restore harmony in their lives.

Ida Hammer

Are you a lesbian, queer, bisexual, or transgender woman or nonbinary person who struggles with shame, self-criticism, stigma, or low self-worth? Difficulties related to shame and self-criticism are distressing and can prevent you from living the life you want. No matter how long you have been feeling this way, there are practical skills, tools, and exercises that can help free you from the patterns of shame and self-criticism, and allowing you to replace those feelings with more healthful ways.

Lindsay Elizondo

I specialize in working with women, young adults (~18-25), relationship issues, depth work, grief/loss, and religious harm/trauma. I really enjoy working with individuals who feel a little bit "different," and helping women examine the impact of sociocultural norms and expectations (e.g., to not take up space). Much healing can be had in challenging these messages, reconnecting with your body and emotions, accepting yourself as you are, and re-centering your values and your voice.

Olivia Parker

Our relationships with ourselves can be complicated. Together, let’s better understand how your life circumstances have gotten you to where you are today. What is working for you? What is not working for you? How is your relationship with yourself affecting your relationships with others?

Claire Greenwood

I love working with gender expansive folk. I've worked with people at all stages of transition-- pre and post hormones/ surgery, folks who are just exploring, folks who don't fit into any neat boxes. Therapy provides a space where your unique self can emerge. Let's explore together.

Stephanie Fletcher

I work with individual adults. I have occasional couples and adolescent openings.

Adriana Popescu

What if there is nothing wrong with you? What if you never had to judge you ever again? My specialty is inviting clients to their personal greatness and success; clearing the energies that don’t allow for achievement, creativity and possibilities. My clients tend to be the seekers, the highly creative and the dissatisfied dreamers of the world who want more out of living. If you have ‘been there and done that’ and know more is possible, I would be an ideal therapist for you.

Brown Therapy Center

We work with a diverse population of adult individuals, couples, and special interest groups who may be struggling with any number of mental health challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and substance abuse, among others. We are committed to providing culturally competent care across the spectrum of age, race, gender, sexuality, religion, and background.

David Brown

I am uniquely skilled in engaging the struggles related to trauma, life transitions, and the LGBTQ community. Many of the men and women who choose to work with me are in the grips of anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, or relationship challenges. Many are highly motivated professionals that are self-reliant and achievement-focused, but often struggle with self-defeating thoughts and patterns that keep them feeling stuck.

Intercultural Psychology Nadia Thalji, PH.D.

Are you bicultural? A member of a multicultural family? An international migrant? A first-generation individual or couple raised bi-culturally by immigrants? Are you a multiethnic/biraciaI couple? I know exactly how the process of coming to terms with such multicultural experiences can impact one's identity. My goal is to help you “feel at home” within yourself, develop a sense of belonging and thrive in your relationships. I look forward to help you become the best version of yourself.

Nadia Thalji, Ph.D

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, stress-related work issues? Perhaps difficulties with relationships, cultural differences, lack of belonging? Having a supportive and culturally sensitive psychotherapist is essencial to work through challenges. I can help you identify, understand, and transform the patterns that are no longer serving you in a positive way. I look forward to help you achieve a sense of well-being that will ground you in the present and determine a better future.
