Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxieties and fears are actually there to protect us. We all need some anxiety and fear to keep us safe. But when Anxiety and Fear become too intense, they no longer protect; they become obstacles that must be overcome. Together, like detectives, we can find out the origin of these misguided emotions so we can put them in their place.

Fuller Life Concepts
Marriage and Family Therapist
Our Feelings First Program for anxious children (ages 6-12) uses a CBT framework adapted for young minds. Kids learn to identify their worry thoughts, understand how those thoughts affect their feelings and behaviors, and practice new ways to respond. Through games, activities, and age-appropriate exercises, we teach cognitive restructuring, relaxation techniques, and gradual exposure—all in a way that makes sense to kids. Parents receive parallel coaching so you can reinforce these skills at home

I treat anxiety and phobias by exploring the root cause. We will work together to calm and "rewire" your nervous system with improved self-soothing and coping. Sometimes I integrate EMDR to reprocess traumatic experiences at the core of anxiety symptoms.

Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
According to research we have upwards of 70,000 thoughts a day. Most of them pass through us without so much as a “second thought”, but all are informing a sense of how we feel about ourselves, about the world we live in, about the abundance or the scarcity in our lives.
Our thoughts create our feelings and vice versa. For so many of us, “feelings” become an overwhelming, incapacitating part of our existence. What if you didn’t fear feelings? What if you had a clearer understanding of what thoughts had informed those feelings? These feelings and thoughts, which create anxiety, depression, worries, concerns or obsessions etc., can and must be dissected and understood. With insight and understanding comes relief. Situational pressures, breakups, job loss or confusion, a sense of purposelessness, become existential crisis.
In my work with individuals we closely examine the myriad of thoughts that pass through you daily. How do they make you feel? How do they inform your behaviors? It can occur in opposite as well. “I got a feeling he didn’t like me”. The feeling set up thought patterns of insecurity. Which comes first? How? Why? With empathy, insight and understanding, I work with clients to intervene in this process so that you are not just a firestorm of thoughts and feelings, but rather a mindful creation of what you want to feel. Making choices of what you want to think. What do you choose to believe about yourself? What is the narrative you have created for your life and is it accurate? Unpacking childhood memories and life experiences, understanding attachment complexities and desensitizing traumatic events that occur within our lives become primary objectives in the work. Processing in a more adaptive, healthy response with these relationships, traumas and experiences follow.
Together, with love, compassion and understanding, I gently help my clients discover how to live their best and fullest life, expressing the most authentic representation of self that one can be.

Most people don't know that anxiety is actually healthy. It's a natural response in order to keep our bodies alert and functional. It's when it becomes chronic and affects our lifestyle that it needs to be addressed and reshaped. There are tons of tools to bring this back in-line. Let's figure it out and get you grounded.

Dr. Angel Enrique Pacheco, Ph.D., C.Psych.
Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologist
Phobias are irrational fears, meaning that most people do not react with the same intensity that you do to whatever you are afraid of. When you are phobic, the Fight or Flight Response set is initiated, which is a normal reaction, except when it is triggered and there is no actually no reason to be afraid. When this occurs, you need specialized help to reduce the anxiety you feel and the fears you experience.

Spiraling thoughts and worries often lead to feelings of anxiety, panic attacks, overthinking, and distress.

I invite you to check out my website to learn more about me.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
Generalized Anxiety Disorder includes anxiety attacks and panic attacks. Both responses by the mind/brain/mind initiate the body's HPA axis sending stress hormones cascading through the body. My treatment involves the use of supplements (unique to each patient) and not drugs, talk therapy, mediation, and the development of healing flow activities. The goal is to lessen the impact of the sympathetic nervous system and to bring the parasympathetic nervous online to calm a person's mind/brain/body.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In my practice, understanding and addressing anxiety and fears involves a holistic approach that recognizes these experiences as deeply intertwined with the nervous system's response to both past and present traumas. This perspective acknowledges that anxiety often signals unresolved issues demanding attention, guiding us towards a journey of healing and connection with our authentic selves.
Central to our therapeutic work is the regulation of the nervous system, a critical step in creating a foundation for processing traumas and alleviating the physical and emotional manifestations of anxiety. By fostering a state of calm and safety within the body, we open pathways for individuals to explore the deeper sources of their anxiety and fears, which often stem from unprocessed traumas and the disconnection from their true selves.
Together, we embark on a process of gently uncovering and working through these traumas, aiming to understand their impact and integrate these experiences in a way that promotes healing and resilience. This journey is not just about managing symptoms but about transforming the relationship with anxiety and fear, viewing these emotions as part of a larger narrative of self-discovery and personal growth.
By re-establishing a connection to the authentic self, individuals are empowered to navigate their lives with a renewed sense of clarity, purpose, and inner strength. This reconnection also facilitates a deeper understanding of one's needs, desires, and boundaries, leading to more fulfilling relationships and a life that truly reflects one's values and aspirations.
Through this compassionate and depth-oriented approach, anxiety and fears are transformed from overwhelming challenges into opportunities for profound healing and self-realization, paving the way for a life lived with greater peace, authenticity, and empowerment.

Anxiety can feel constant, showing up as worry, overthinking, or a sense of being on edge. It can interfere with your ability to relax, make decisions, or feel present. In therapy we will work on understanding what is driving your anxiety and learning ways to manage it more effectively. The focus is on helping you feel calmer, more grounded, and more confident in handling situations that used to feel overwhelming.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety is not a feeling so much as a state of being. Anxiety attaches it self to a variety of emotional states, adding energy and intensity to our thoughts and actions. There is NO eliminating anxiety. It is hardwired within us, a biological necessity for our survival as a species. Why do we try so hard to destroy it? Because, we reply, it is unpleasant, and disruptive, to our lives. So the key then is to manage it, to reduce its intensity, and to better understand when, where and why it erupts within us.

Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Anxiety is connected to the Unknown and Fear to the known. Anxiety and fear are part of everyday existence but when it overwhelms, techniques are needed for management. Cognitive approaches, visualization and journaling are some techniques in treatment.

Oakland has a politically engaged, social-justice-oriented community where many therapists approach their work through an anti-oppression lens, specializing in racial trauma, activist burnout, and healing within BIPOC communities. The city's proximity to San Francisco means therapists here frequently work with the compounding stresses of the Bay Area housing crisis, economic displacement, and the grief of gentrification. Oakland has strong LGBTQ+ and creative communities, with demand for affirming therapists who work at the intersection of identity, community belonging, and personal wellbeing. Highland Hospital and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland provide institutional anchors alongside a network of independent practitioners.
