Find therapists and counselors in San Mateo

Marla Cass

The focus of my practice is on helping women who are successful in their careers but not in their relationships. They are interested in understanding themselves at a deeper level and know that a quick fix is not the answer. Many of them have been to therapy before but felt like it didn't help. They are looking for a therapist who is warm yet direct and will take the time to understand them and support them on their journey.

Eunice Song

To the outside world, you are successful. But, inside, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, and spent. You give of yourself to others until you have nothing left and feel guilty for getting irritated with the people you love. As you tell yourself to “keep it together”, and others tell you to “go take a break”, it’s hard to do either of those things. If you take that break, will it be ok? What will you do? Will you still be valuable?

Akiko Terao

I work most effectively with people willing to explore their experiences at a deep level. Many of my clients are ones juggling multiple responsibilities, appear to be "just fine" from the outside, but are struggling inside. I specialize in anxiety, eating disorders, and family dynamics. I have expertise in a variety of issues stemming from difficult experiences in early childhood. I also work with inter-racial, inter-cultural households experiencing challenges in communication.

Sage DeRosier

You are: adult, teen, or child, coupled, or in a different kind of partnership, a family. You identify as a gender expansive/creative (transgender, fluid, questioning...) person (esp. a child and their family). You want to effectively navigate your personal reality within challenging social constraints such as fear, ignorance, polarization and limited binaries. You feel stuck, alone, afraid, angry, or confused enough that it’s getting in your way. You want to feel better and truly thrive.

My clients at the San Mateo County Pride center are predominantly part of the LGBTQ+ community.

My person-centered approach will allow for you to connect deeper with yourself so you may move through life more authentically. I serve primarily San Mateo county.

MaryBeth Lorence

I invite individual adults and couples to explore your struggles and the unhealthy patterns that keep you mired in feelings of sadness, anxiety, or simply a sense that your life is not quite how you wish it to be. Maybe you've tried to work out the problems yourself and keep circling back to square one. Maybe you've hit a brick wall. Maybe you don't even know where to begin. Together, we'll uncover the power to change that lives inside you.

Jeanne Sutton

You might be struggling with feeling like there is too much to do, that you're not okay, or not capable enough to make the changes you desire. Are you struggling to figure out how to get going and how to take better care of yourself? It's so painful to struggle with strong emotions, feelings of anxiety, of not being good enough, and being stuck in unhelpful behavior patterns and unfulfilling relationships. Whether this is new for you or a long standing challenge, I look forward to helping you.

I work with children (4-13), adolescents (13-18), adults, and seniors. My first career was as a teacher and I really enjoy working with youth struggling with anxiety, depression, identity, and stress. I also love working with adults in life transitions and trauma.

Catherine McDonagh

When clients reach out to me, some are already on a path of a personal growth, while others aren't sure what to do to make the changes they want or need. Often they feel anxious or stuck, and experience challenges in relationships, at home or work. I guide clients to cultivate awareness and gain clarity within themselves so they can more easily navigate feelings/emotions, thoughts, beliefs and behaviors, and make choices that connect with what's most true for them.

Robert Voloshin

I work with clients that are seeking transformational experiences to help them digest their trauma and connect to their essence, their purpose, and their relationships.

I also work with couples and families. At this time all of my session are done via Telehealth.

KIN LEUNG

I specialize in helping couples overcome struggles related to: infidelity, intimacy, miscommunication, mistrust, parenting, etc. I'm happy to say that it's POSSIBLE to regenerate the spark that brought them together in the first place. Some individual clients come to me for guidance when their partners aren't ready to enter couples therapy. It can still create a positive and contagious effect on the relationship even with only one partner involved in the therapy process.
