Janice Shapiro
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
One of my specialties combines canine massage with psychotherapy. This is an animal-assisted psychotherapy that relieves your stress, anxiety and depression as you massage your dog. The key is that you are doing something outside yourself for your beloved pet as well as for yourself at the same time. During the massage the oxytocin (the well-being hormone) is increased and cortisol (the stress hormone) is reduced for both you and your dog.
I am the originator of this unique therapy as I call it Janice's Rotary Canine Massage.

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress is an everyday occurrence for most of us, but that doesn't mean it has to hold us back from being our best selves and achieving our goals - so let's get down to it. I have years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults in overcoming the many ways stress manifests in our lives, whether that is due to social, personal, work, past trauma, every day life, or just something you've always had. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~
I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space where you can be open about your stressors so we can work through them together. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Social anxiety, in my opinion, is a completely normal reaction to a world that has become increasingly hard to navigate, interpret and understand. The last few years have been devastating for people trying to function, not alone make sense of the world around them. I work with clients to reframe their experience into an affirming, compassionate narrative that helps them see the beauty in both themselves and their environment.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In navigating the complex terrain of stress, my practice takes a holistic and in-depth approach, recognizing that stress is often a surface symptom of deeper emotional, spiritual, and psychological currents. For empathetic, highly sensitive, and autistic individuals, stress doesn't merely stem from external pressures but is intricately linked to the profound experiences of self-criticism, anxiety, shame, and the overwhelming sense of responsibility for others' emotions. These experiences are compounded by challenges in setting boundaries, tendencies towards people-pleasing, perfectionism, and a deep-seated fear of disconnection, all of which can lead to a state of burnout and a feeling of being adrift from one's authentic self.
Understanding that stress can signal the soul's cry for healing, change, and a return to authenticity, my therapeutic process focuses on uncovering the root causes of stress. This involves exploring the impact of childhood trauma, the weight of ancestral grief, the struggle with navigating personal and collective awakenings, and the journey towards embracing one's true identity beyond societal and familial expectations. By addressing these foundational aspects, we engage in a transformative process aimed at reducing the immediate symptoms of stress while fostering a profound healing journey towards self-discovery, self-compassion, and empowerment.
The goal of our work together is to empower individuals to not only manage stress but to understand it as a meaningful part of their journey towards wholeness. Through developing healthier boundaries, embracing one's intrinsic worth independent of external validation, and cultivating a life in alignment with one's deepest truths, individuals can find peace, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. This comprehensive approach to stress transcends traditional coping mechanisms, inviting a deeper engagement with life's challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Stress is everywhere! In the news! Social media! Our commute! Finances! Our relationships! And stress has a nasty habit of multiplying exponentially, seemingly no matter what we do. Focus on the stress and the stress sometimes grows. Ignore the stress and it grows. What to do? How to win? The questions seem unanswerable, and yet, with dialogue and exploration, solutions can be find.

Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Stress is not necessarily negative as it leads to creation and problem solving. It can also lead to overwhelm, getting stuck or being immobilized even being non functional. Therapy can focus on the reasons for the stress both concrete, understood and not understood. In determining that, solutions can be formulated to address what is not working.

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.
