Jesse Whittle-Utter
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #79783
Stress has many origins: it often arises in response to external demands, but our belief systems and ways of relating to ourselves and others plays a huge role in shaping our stress response. I use EMDR, somatic, mindfulness and traditional talk therapy to work through its causes and find relief.

I specialize in supporting highly sensitive and growth-oriented individuals who have struggled to find their way, or have endeavored to do so in spite of great obstacles. With a background in trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral (i.e. ACT, DBT) interventions, I can help you to tap into your own internal resources and acquire the skills to navigate your life with greater ease.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Although stress in life seems like a given, we're not often taught how to reduce or effectively manage it's (very real) impact--or sometimes we're faced with a new set of challenges that exceed our usual attempts to cope. Learning more about how your unique nervous system works can help you evaluate, navigate, and cope more effectively so that you can find more ease and joy in life.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Stress is not simply an individual experience. It is often shaped by the cumulative demands of work, caregiving, relationships, marginalization, systemic pressures, trauma, chronic illness, and the pace of modern life.
My approach focuses on understanding stress through a nervous-system-centered lens. Together, we explore the patterns, expectations, environments, and survival strategies contributing to overwhelm while developing practical and sustainable ways to support regulation, resilience, rest, and wellbeing. Therapy creates space not only for coping, but also for examining whether the demands being placed upon you are truly sustainable.

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.
