Kentfield Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

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.

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.

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.

Paula Mierzejewski

Lindsay Elizondo

I specialize in working with women, young adults (18-25ish), relationship issues, depth work, grief/loss, and religious harm and trauma. I particularly enjoy helping women examine the impact of sociocultural norms and expectations (e.g., to not take up physical, emotional, relational, or sexual space). Much healing can be had in challenging these messages, reconnecting with your 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?

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.

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.

Isobel Heath

I work with people who want to grow in their self-awareness, improve the quality of their relationships, and are seeking to feel that they’re truly thriving in their lives. Many of the people I work with were under-parented as children and are interested in developing better boundaries and more self-compassion. I particularly enjoy working with activists, artists, educators, and the queer community.

Antje Hofmeister

Your unique perspective, identity, and culture are the basis for our work together. You will find safe and non-judgmental support in coping with symptoms of anxiety and depression and in managing key areas of your life, including relationships with family members and partners, and career.

Amanda Tran

You are welcome exactly as you are. Here we honor what makes you unique and imperfect. You already have what you need to create a life that is most deeply fulfilling for you. I welcome the emotions that may have felt too heavy to carry and too overwhelming to face alone. With curiosity and compassion, we gradually bring greater clarity and balance to your inner world. You can finally begin to unlearn the patterns that no longer serve you, and instead learn to envision and embody your wholeness.

Paul Ziller

Most of our wounding is experienced in relationship, and so our healing needs that too. I offer a compassionate, collaborative home base that responds to what you bring. Face your challenges with skilled support. We'll move at a pace that's attuned to you, balancing qualities of relief with growing edges. Together we can work to help you be in better relationship and balance with yourself and others, build resources, connect to your inner life and greater clarity, create an intentional path.

Jen Joseph

I love working with partners seeking more passion and intimacy in long-term relationships; those longing to rebuild trust and erotic connection after betrayal; non-monogamous partners or those curious about opening up; folks struggling with sexual challenges and partners who long to fight less and enjoy each other more. Additionally, I enjoy working with folks facing big life transitions, work stressors, relationship and/or erotic challenges and those wanting to shift unhealthy patterns.
