Therapists in Berkeley, California
Culturally responsive therapy for Berkeley adults, couples, teens, and families.
Therapy in Berkeley, CA:
a calm space to slow down
Tonalli Therapy & Consulting serves Berkeley and the surrounding community with bilingual, trauma-informed, culturally responsive therapy. We work with adults, couples, teens, and families navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity, school pressure, intergenerational patterns, and the kind of high-functioning overwhelm that often goes unspoken in this part of the East Bay.
We have a team that sees clients in-person at our Berkeley office, and virtually anywhere in California via secure telehealth.
Therapy for teens and families in Berkeley
Berkeley teens carry a lot. The school district’s academic pressure, college-prep stress, social comparison, identity exploration, and the quiet weight of family expectations all add up.
At Tonalli, we offer teen and adolescent therapy that meets young people where they are — without pathologizing normal development. Sessions can include academic stress, anxiety, identity work, family communication, and processing trauma.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-supported approach for trauma, anxiety, and unresolved past experiences. Adriana is EMDR-certified, and we offer EMDR both in-person in Berkeley and online for clients anywhere in California. Sal is EMDR trained and sees clients for EMDR in Walnut Creek and virtually for clients anywhere in California.
If you've felt like talk therapy alone isn't quite shifting something — old patterns, body-level anxiety, things that "should" feel resolved but don't — EMDR may be a good fit.
EMDR and trauma therapy for Berkeley residents
Bilingual therapy in Spanish and English
Tonalli is one of the few practices in the Berkeley area offering true bilingual care. Our Berkeley therapists provide therapy in both Spanish and English, especially for first-generation, Latina/e/x, and bicultural adults and families. Therapy is offered in the language that helps you express yourself most fully — including code-switching when that feels honest.
