Berkeley, California therapist: Michael Ceely, marriage and family therapist
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Michael Ceely

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help men like you who might be feeling a bit overwhelmed or stuck. A lot of men are feeling the pressure to constantly grind and push, often at the expense of the things that really matter. It's like they're chasing this old idea of what success looks like, and honestly, it's just not sustainable or even that fulfilling in the long run. Just powering through when you're stressed isn't the answer. What I offer is a different approach. Think of it as finding a clearer path forward, one where you're not constantly battling stress. I help you get clear on exactly what's stressing you out, and help you feel more confident and in control. Ultimately, my goal is to help you create a life that feels both successful and joyful. Imagine feeling calmer, and more self-assured. Imagine actually enjoying the journey, not just striving for some distant finish line. It's about feeling good in your own skin, having strong relationships, and achieving your goals without sacrificing your peace of mind. There is a better way to navigate life's challenges, and I'm here to help.

San Francisco, California therapist: Alison Alderdice, psychologist
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Alison Alderdice

Psychologist, PsyD
Some people come to me overwhelmed, exhausted, and insecure. Others need help with an important life decision. My approach is active and collaborative: I trust their knowledge of themselves and offer my insights, skills, and training to achieve lasting change and healing. Together, we identify ways to align their daily lives and environments with their long-term goals and values. We turn avoidance into action and integrate unaccepted aspects of themselves through mindfulness and self-compassion. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I am passionate about helping people reduce their suffering and build lives they find meaningful and fulfilling.

Long Beach, California therapist: Zena Caputo, marriage and family therapist
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Zena Caputo

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many folks I work with reach out because they're tired of being held back by patterns that aren't serving them. Whether you've felt stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-criticism, by unhealthy use of substances or the legacy of past traumatic or distressing experiences, or feeling lost in midlife, moving through life differently is possible. I ground my work in a range of research-informed approaches, including EMDR, to help you improve your well being and connection with others, enhance your self-understanding, and be more present in important areas of life. Please note, I am based in the LA area though occasionally able to provide in-person therapy in the Bay Area, where I lived for 15 years.

Oakland, California therapist: Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist, licensed clinical social worker
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many of the clients I work with feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, low self-worth, or unresolved trauma. Some are navigating burnout or relationship struggles and aren't sure where to begin — they just know they want something to change. My role is to help clients reconnect with themselves, uncover new insight, and build a more grounded, meaningful life. I also support clients struggling with trichotillomania, skin picking, and other BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors). These patterns often develop in response to anxiety, trauma, or emotional stress. Using EMDR and evidence-based strategies, I help clients better understand their urges, reduce harmful behaviors, and build greater self-awareness and compassion. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and EMDR-trained therapist offering online therapy for adults throughout California. My approach combines trauma-informed care, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), parts work, and other evidence-based tools to support lasting change. I tailor therapy to each individual’s needs and pace, offering a compassionate space where healing feels possible and manageable.

Orinda, California therapist: John Jakubowski, marriage and family therapist
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

John Jakubowski

Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
I can make this very easy for you - unless you’re looking for a specific technique the only way to tell if your therapist is a good fit is by being in a relationship with them. This can be virtual or in person, but we’ve known for a long time that the primary determining factor in successful therapy is the alliance. While a resume and creds may be a starting point, I think you’ll find it’s rarely a deciding factor. - For therapy to "work" you have to be vulnerable. To be vulnerable you need to feel safe. To feel safe you need to trust. This is the first layer of a deep, intimate, successful relationship that I model. Some people have never experienced this before - the idea that you can be heard, truly and deeply and not be judged, blamed or put in a box. Walk with me - you're not alone in this.
