Bilingual trauma therapy for adults and teens in Berkeley, Walnut Creek & across California.
If this sounds familiar
You’re the one everyone leans on, and from the outside it looks like you have it together.
Your brain is always on, even at 2am, replaying a conversation from three days ago.
You say yes to one more thing, then feel resentful, then feel guilty for feeling resentful.
A big life change stirred up feelings that don’t match the moment, and some of them feel old.
Learning you have ADHD or anxiety made sense of a lot, but it didn’t make the shame go away.
You come from a family where you don’t talk about this, so you keep it together and keep it to yourself.
If any of this sounds like your life, therapy can help you sort out which parts are actually yours. Start with a free 15-minute consultation.
Our Approach
Therapy in English, Spanish, or Spanglish
Neurodivergent-affirming care that welcomes your brain as it is
LGBTQ+ affirming care for all of who you are
Trauma-informed therapy that moves at your pace
Honest talk about real life, family, and culture
Room to show up messy, because connection is what heals
We are a bilingual, BIPOC-centered therapy team in Berkeley and Walnut Creek, with online sessions across California. We specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and the patterns that get passed down in families. Your culture, your history, and your family are welcome in the room. Talk to us in English, Spanish, or both.
What a session with us is like
A session with us is a real conversation. We skip the jargon, ask plenty of questions, and listen before we respond. Then we reflect back what we notice, because you asked for someone who will be honest with you.
We start with what is in front of you
The anxiety, the overthinking, the stress of school or work or parenting, the relationship that just ended. We work on that first, so you have something practical to try between sessions.
Then we look at where the patterns came from
The harsh voice in your head learned to talk like that somewhere. The guilt about putting yourself first came from rules you did not write. Together we sort out which rules you still agree with and which ones you are done carrying.
For the deeper work, our team is trained in EMDR and parts work
That includes the kind of pain that is hard to name because it was just how things were. EMDR helps your brain process painful memories without retelling every detail. Parts work helps you get to know the part of you that keeps everyone safe, the part that is exhausted, and the part that is starting to ask what you actually want. None of them is the problem; each just needs a different job.
You set the pace
You never have to explain yourself perfectly, and however it comes out is fine here.
