San Leandro Therapists specializing in Grief or Loss

Abigail Robertson

I work with clients who are look for a space to explore themselves and the stuck places bringing them to therapy in the first place. Sometimes I see myself as a therapist for folks who may not be fully sold on the whole therapy thing, and I do not believe in a "one-size fits all" approach to therapy. Perhaps you are seeking out psychotherapy for the first time, or you have tried therapy at different points in your life. Together we can explore why it may be that you are coming to therapy now.

Micah Rea

I am passionate about providing a space for people to be celebrated for being their authentic selves. I honor and respect the strategies clients have learned that support them in coping and surviving. Together, we can develop more awareness of how these coping strategies and patterns serve you, and when it is supportive, work to find new ways of relating with yourself and others.

Eliza Liittschwager

Starting therapy can be a daunting process. It’s hard to be vulnerable and to give voice to the feelings and experiences that bring us discomfort, pain or shame. And, therapy can be incredibly rewarding. Creating meaning out of our dark and painful experiences is a transformative process. That’s why I got into this work.

Juan Carlos Zepeda

I help my clients connect with their authenticity so that they can live life more fully. Many wish to express their genuine feelings but feel ashamed or don't know how. Some smile when they're hurt or angry, and they show up for everyone but feel guilty for showing up for themselves. Life goes on, and many don’t feel they are doing what fulfills them, often feeling lonely despite being around many people, being in a relationship, or having successful careers.

Jonathan Lee

You’ve survived a complicated childhood or past with minimal or inconsistent support, and remnants of your past influence or take over the present. It’s rare to feel safe / settled enough with others / out in the world. Cycles of heightened stress and shutting down keep you feeling stuck. You’re self-aware (perhaps even knowledgeable about your struggles), but need support taking actionable steps towards deep / lasting transformation and healing. Sound familiar? Specialized help is available!

Trang Nguyen

I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, justice/system-involved individuals, young adults, Queer folks (2SLGBTQIA), B.I.POC (People of the Global Majority) and neurodiverse individuals. 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? Do you feel stuck and unable to process and move through past traumas?

Jennie Beuhler

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.

Barbara Hooks

Life can be challenging, and at times, despite our best efforts we can feel stuck or lost. My clients are looking to make specific changes in their lives and want an interactive therapist to help provide specific tools and strategies to guide this process. I help clients reduce stress, and shift their relationship to painful emotions. I frequently work with people around boundaries, relationship concerns, life transitions, and issues related to gender identity.

Tim Holtzman

Have you previously undergone therapy, but didn’t get the results you wanted? Are you a pragmatic person who values an approach that establishes well-defined objectives and delivers tangible outcomes? Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a potent form of therapy that empowers you the client to directly transform emotions and behaviors. The greatest advantage of IFS therapy is its establishment of clear, measurable goals right from the start. Which allows you to observe the progress you make.

Many of my clients are facing a crossroads when they begin therapy - embarking on parenthood, rethinking career choices; both craving and dreading a change.

Rebekah Smith

There comes a point for many of us when we realize that we don’t want to face our problems alone. We are human after all, and a part of what defines that humanity is our need for each other. I understand how frightening it can be to let people in and get close. You may tend to give more than you get back. You might feel self-critical. You might not know what it is you're needing. I'm here to join you and to help you find the connection and purpose you may be seeking.

Shianling Weeks

You're deeply caring, creative, and curious. And you feel stuck, not good enough, overwhelmed, hurting. Disconnected from the life you want. You may be in numbness and slowly suffocating in a deep hole. You may find yourself shutting down and avoiding things that are usually important to you. You may be facing a big life change that throws your sense of who you are. You could be struggling to start a family, or dealing with scary thoughts and emotional pain in pregnancy, postpartum, or beyond.

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.
