Kentfield Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Will Lipsenthal

I like to work with the present moment, I believe that the past impacts the present. My clients often notice an increase in liveliness, connection, or a better understanding of who they are and where they’ve come from. My approach allows us to work on a wide variety of issues from depression, transitions, loss, or trauma.

Dr. Christine E. Dickson

Do you struggle with a mind that does not turn off? Do you overanalyze yourself and others? Do you have a critical inner voice? I can help you find the "off button" in your mind, no longer react to every thought and feeling that goes through your mind and learn to laugh at the voice in your head. Together we can achieve what seems impossible.

Aneissa Rosas-Sanchez

I am currently seeing adolescents and adults in different phases of life. My work supports individuals as well as parents and families through life transitions, loss/grief, and traumatic experiences. I also provide compassionate counseling and support to parents including families with highly sensitive and/or neurodiverse children. I teach all clients, especially clients of color & diverse backgrounds, that self-care & preservation are not only important to "being well" but a revolutionary act

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 see individuals, couples and children. I believe what we become aware of, we have the ability to transform, if we choose. I also believe in the power of the stories we tell ourselves, as having deep meaning guiding our lives. If we can become aware of what is driving us, the stories, we will have a lot of influence on the rest of our lives. I enjoy working with anxiety, depression, ADHD and neuro-divergent challenges, relationship challenges, mens work, and those unnamable burdens we all have.

Danielle Bush

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an effective, evidence-based therapy for the treatment of trauma and related issues. Typically healing occurs much more rapidly than in traditional psychotherapy. Because of EMDR’s ability to clear emotional blockages, many people experience a newfound sense of joy, openness and deep connection with others. I am a certified EMDR therapist.

Leila Zwelling

My clients are often women struggling with challenges during the reproductive years, trauma and relationships. Focus areas include infertility & loss; single women childless not by choice; LGBT family building; pregnancy & postpartum. When women first reach out to me, they're often overwhelmed. Life looks good on paper, but it's a different story on the inside. The stress gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways - at home, at work, and in their relationships.

Miriam Rubino

If you ever experienced difficulties managing depression and anxiety, regulating your emotions or recovering from traumatic experiences; or perhaps struggled creating and maintaining healthy relationships and boundaries, increasing self care, or adjusting to life transitions and new cultures, you may find my support helpful. I help people discover/recover purpose and meaning, integrating meaningful and difficult experiences, through a mindful, playful and compassionate approach.

Jess Gioia

Looking for a 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 identity or relationship before getting anything done. That's why I specialize in members of sexual and gender minority groups- our common basis of understanding accelerates the pace at which we can work toward those goals which are unique to you.

Heather Chamberlain

When your child or teen is dealing with symptoms related to a scary event or a traumatic situation, it can be difficult to know where to start. Car accidents, injuries, medical procedures, domestic violence, and other events can cause a child to feel scared and unsafe. I support your child in understanding the traumatic experience, manage the difficult responses, and find ways to heal the trauma that your child and family experienced.

Paula Mierzejewski

Arley Lindberg

Each therapy is different as we are all unique individuals, but often in therapy we will explore what is challenging you, identify habitual or unconscious stances, and integrate unfelt feelings, prior traumatic experiences, and unexpressed aspects of your personality. We will also focus on what interests you and brings vitality to your life. You can go to my website for more information on the therapy I provide: www.arleylindberglcsw.com

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.

Scott Menasco, Ph.D.

Have you been wondering if you would benefit from talking with a therapist? Maybe you've had issues of chronic worry, depression, a recent life change or difficulty expressing yourself in your relationships. Perhaps you've been dealing with challenging behaviors of your child or teen. Therapy can help! I've worked with all of these issues and more, and I am confident that together we can work to help you develop more ease in yourself and your relationships.

Lindsay Elizondo

I specialize in working with women, young adults (~18-25), relationship issues, depth work, LGBTQ+ community, and religious harm/trauma. I really enjoy working with people who are sensitive or a bit countercultural, 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.

Tessa Gordon

There are many reasons eating disorders are invited into your life. Just as there are many reasons why a person develops an eating disorder, the way you recover will be just as unique. If there was a one size fits all solution, that would perhaps be as deceptive as the problem itself. Whether it’s perfectionism, judgment, loneliness, self-improvement, health, fear, family issues… Together we will discover what invites these problems into your life, and begin to find what recovery means for you.

California Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress

Anxiety and trauma can impair our ability to connect with loved ones, work, and even complete day-to-day tasks. At the California Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress, we have years of experience working with clients struggling with anxiety (panic attacks, social anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder) as well military and civilian trauma.

Nicole Ohebshalom

I work with clients that are curious and want to learn more about themselves. In my practice I work with individuals and couples that are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, sexuality challenges, immigration, family dynamics, ADHD and women’s lifecycle issues.

Claire Greenwood

Maybe you have been told that you need to be smaller. Thinner. Quieter. Less angry. Take up less space and be less demanding. I work with mostly women and queer, trans and non-binary folk who are tired of being told they are "too much." I believe that no one is too much, and that attempting to squeeze ourselves into a too tight box is damaging. Currently, my case load is 40% teens and 60% adult.

Manuel Manotas

Maybe it's time to stop trying to think our way out of anxiety. “If I do this, I'll be ok ” or “Once I accomplish that and that other thing happens, then I’ll finally be ok”. Does it work? No it doesn't. It might give us a brief sense of relief that gets quickly replaced by the next wave of anxiety. Yet for some strange reason we keep practicing mental gymnastics in a futile attempt to calm the mind, only agitating more.
