You've been carrying this long enough. At Sana Therapy Collective, our Oakland trauma therapists use evidence-based approaches — including EMDR and integrative trauma-focused care — to help you finally process what your body has been holding onto.
About Our Oakland Practice
Trauma therapy for Oakland residents who are ready to stop surviving and start living
Oakland is a city of resilience — and so are you. But resilience doesn't mean you have to keep carrying the weight of trauma alone. Whether you're navigating the aftermath of childhood wounds, relationship trauma, racial trauma, or a diagnosis of PTSD, you deserve care that meets you where you are.
Our therapists serving Oakland understand the specific stressors that come with living in the Bay Area — the financial pressure, the displacement anxiety, the pace of change. We offer in-person sessions at our Oakland-area office and telehealth throughout California.
"You're not broken. Your brain has just been doing its best to protect you."
What We Offer
Specialized therapy services
for Oakland adults
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the most well-researched trauma treatments available. It helps your brain reprocess painful memories so they lose their emotional charge — often faster than traditional talk therapy.
Substance Use & Recovery
Trauma and substance use are deeply connected. We offer compassionate, non-judgmental support across the recovery continuum — including for those who have experienced relapse.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions with a therapist who specializes in trauma. We'll move at your pace, with your goals, using approaches tailored to what your nervous system actually needs.
Trauma-Focused Therapy
We specialize in sexual abuse, domestic violence, childhood abuse and neglect, and complex PTSD. Our therapists are trained to work with the full depth of trauma — not just symptom management, but getting to the root.
Integrative Approaches
We draw from a range of evidence-based modalities — including DBT-informed skills work, trauma-focused CBT, and somatic approaches — tailored to what each client actually needs. No one-size-fits-all protocols.
Telehealth
Can't make it in person? We offer online therapy to anyone in California. All the same evidence-based care, accessible from wherever you feel most comfortable.
These therapists offer in-person sessions in Oakland. Additional telehealth therapists are also available.
