About Our Approach
Trauma therapy for Orinda adults who are ready for something different
Orinda is a community that values privacy, quality, and discretion. We understand that. Our therapists bring the same level of care and expertise you'd expect from a specialist — without the wait times of a large health system.
Many Orinda clients have tried therapy before and found it too surface-level. We work differently. Our approach gets to the root of what's driving your symptoms — using EMDR to help your brain finally process what it's been holding, and integrative approaches tailored to your nervous system.
We offer in-person sessions near Orinda and telehealth available throughout California. Many clients in the Lamorinda area find that telehealth gives them the privacy and flexibility they prefer.
You're not broken. Your brain has just been doing its best to protect you. Together, we can help it finally rest.
Our therapeutic approaches
Integrated
Trauma-Focused Care
Not every client needs EMDR specifically — sometimes it's a combination of approaches, or a different trauma-focused method altogether. We tailor treatment to what your nervous system actually needs.
Personalized
Integrative Approaches
We draw from a range of evidence-based modalities — DBT-informed skills work, trauma-focused CBT, somatic approaches, and more. Treatment is tailored to what each client's nervous system actually needs, not a single protocol applied to everyone.
