The Connection Clinic

The Connection Clinic is a vibrant collective of practitioners committed to providing safe, empowering care to individuals impacted by systemic and historical oppressions. We understand that many people experience misalignments in traditional mental health spaces, and we strive to create an environment where healing happens in community, fostering support, connection, and growth for both clients and providers.Our approach prioritizes decolonizing care and collaboration: therapists rarely work in isolation, ensuring that every client benefits from the combined perspectives and expertise of our team. We consult with one another, share recommendations, and coordinate care across family or community needs when appropriate. This collaborative model ensures that every client feels known, seen, and supported by The Connection Clinic, receiving the insight and care of a well-rounded team, something that truly sets us apart from other systems of care. If you are facing mental health challenges or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, we invite you to connect with us.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
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.

Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Getting sick of what's bothering you? Are your thoughts feeling tough to control? Been challenging to unwind, enjoy yourself, or get a good night's sleep? Feeling emotionally lonely, frustrated with family, or disappointed with your friends?
You may be successful professionally and still experience dips in your self-esteem, mood, and energy. Imposter syndrome goes hand in hand with perfectionism, procrastination, and productivity. The irony is you may be working harder than most people around you, and yet feel worse about yourself than they do.
You don't have to keep living like this. Therapy can help you understand how your mind works and optimize accordingly. For example, you can catch self-defeating negative thoughts and reframe them to be more helpful for you through CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
You have the right to feel better too.

Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I've been a therapist for over 30 years and bring warmth, curiosity, intuition, and an open mind to my work. I can also be direct when I think it will be helpful. I especially enjoy working with thoughtful, self-aware people who are looking for real change—not just insight into what's happening, but new ways of experiencing themselves, their relationships, and their lives. I see therapy as a collaborative process, and I bring both my experience and genuine curiosity to each person I work with.
If you're wondering whether we might be a good fit, I invite you to contact me for a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation. It's a chance to tell me a little about what you're looking for, ask questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels right.

Berkeley is home to the University of California, Berkeley—one of the world's great public research universities—and has a progressive, intellectually vibrant character and a community culture that is among the most therapy-positive in the United States, with an unusually high density of licensed therapists relative to population. The university's health services include counseling for enrolled students, and the academic and activist culture of Berkeley creates specific mental health pressures around perfectionism, imposter syndrome, political engagement, and the burnout of sustained social activism. The city's housing market is among the most expensive in the country, and financial precarity is a significant stressor for students, artists, and workers who value Berkeley but struggle to afford it. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, activist burnout, identity and social justice, anxiety, depression, and the complex emotional experience of living in a place with deeply held ideals about equity alongside the daily reality of inequality.
