Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You might be here because you’ve been called “too sensitive,” feel easily overwhelmed, or aren’t sure where you fit—especially as someone who is queer and/or asexual. You’re seeking connection with people who “get it” and a therapist who doesn’t need you to explain your culture, sensitivity, or identity just to be understood.
As a Highly Sensitive therapist, I enjoy working with asexual, gray‑ace, demisexual, questioning folks, and sensitive introverts. My style is warm, collaborative, and validating. In our work, we’ll create a gentler space, where your boundaries are honored, your quirks are welcomed, and you’re treated as enough exactly as you are.

Suzanna Freerksen
Psychiatrist, MD
As a psychiatrist I am comfortable with prescribing medications as well as therapy. My psychiatry practice is focused on you and how you can best achieve your goals, whether that is medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of all three. Let's work together to help you get 'unstuck'.
In session we will talk about thoughts and feelings in addition to medication. I am experienced in CBT and group therapy, as well as the medical treatment of nightmares and bipolar disorder. I am also trained in EMDR and DBT, as well as ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP). I am knowledgeable about medicines and illness with breastfeeding, and pregnancy.

Erin Hayden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I’m Erin, a licensed therapist who specializes in working with young adults in their 20s and 30s. If you're feeling uncertain about your direction, experiencing loneliness, or are moving through a difficult season that no longer feels sustainable to carry alone, therapy can offer a supportive space to sort through your innermost questions.
Therapy offers a space to slow down, listen inward, and make choices that feel more aligned with the life you want. I see our work as collaborative and deeply respectful of your inner wisdom even if it feels distant right now.
My approach is warm and grounded in a Narrative Therapy framework. Together, we’ll explore the beliefs and stories that have shaped you, gently question the ones that no longer fit, and strengthen the perspectives that support your way forward. I see our work as collaborative and deeply respectful of your inner wisdom even if it feels distant right now.
I truly love being a therapist and am honored to do this work. If you think we would be a good fit fill out the contact form on this page and we will be in touch!

Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like life hasn’t turned out the way you thought it would? Maybe you’re in the middle of a big transition—becoming a parent, navigating a breakup, adjusting to a new role, or simply realizing that what used to work…doesn’t anymore. Change can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and even grief for the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown. You might find yourself questioning who you are or what comes next. These moments can feel isolating, but they’re also an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin again—with support along the way.

Fremont is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States and a key node in the Bay Area's technology and manufacturing ecosystem — home to Tesla's factory and one of the country's most significant Afghan diaspora communities. The city's large Afghan, South Asian (particularly Indian and Pakistani), and Chinese communities create strong demand for multilingual and culturally affirming therapists who can work with immigrant family systems, bicultural identity, and the specific cultural contexts of help-seeking in these communities. Washington Hospital Healthcare System provides institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Fremont's high cost of living — even by Bay Area standards — and its proximity to Silicon Valley create occupational and economic pressures that shape a significant part of its therapy demand.
