San Francisco, California therapist: Sarah Jane Thomas, marriage and family therapist
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Sarah Jane Thomas

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Let's be honest. You have probably heard plenty of advice on how to fix yourself, change your body, or stop feeling so anxious all the time. You might have even tried it all and still feel stuck. I don't believe in adding more rules to your life or pushing you toward some ideal version of who you "should" be. My goal is simply to help you slow down and listen to what you already know deep inside. We will work together to untangle the shame you have been carrying from the actual truth about who you are. This is not about achieving perfection. It is about finding relief from the exhausting pressure to constantly change yourself. You deserve to feel peaceful with your body instead of fighting against it every day. If that sounds like the kind of support you need right now, let's chat to see if we are a good fit.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dr. M at Insight Thoughts Psychotherapy Services (ITPS) Inc

Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPCC
You may be here because something “feels off”. Your thoughts run in circles. Your mood drops without warning. Old experiences still shape how you react, even when you want to move on. Therapy can help you make sense of all of that. I work with individuals who deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and stress tied to major life changes. The goal is not to label you. The goal is to understand what drives your thoughts, emotions, and actions so you can respond with more control and less pain. I use proven methods like CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy. These approaches help us spot patterns that keep you stuck and build skills you can use in real life. We look at what is happening now, what shaped it, and what needs to change. Your voice matters here. We decide together what you want help with and how we will work toward it. Therapy is not something done to you. It is something we do with purpose, guided by your needs. You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy, licensed professional counselor
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I started Eff Shame Therapy because I believe shame is at the root of most of what brings people to therapy — and because I think it deserves to be named directly rather than tiptoed around. We are living in a world that generates shame faster than most of us can process it, and many of us are carrying wounds from abuse, trauma, and systemic harm that have never had a real place to land and heal. I work with adults who are ready to stop managing their pain and start actually moving through it. My approach is trauma-informed, shame-free, and genuinely collaborative — I bring some of the most effective healing tools available including EMDR, Flash Technique, and ketamine-assisted EMDR, and I meet you exactly where you are. This work matters to me. Not as a concept but in the room, session by session, with real people who deserve more than survival.

Los Angeles, California therapist: David Sudyka, marriage and family therapist
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

David Sudyka

Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Therapy is a place to talk through what’s been weighing on you and start to understand it a little better. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress, it can be hard to sort it out on your own. In our work together, the focus is on helping you make sense of what you’re going through and finding ways to move forward that actually feel doable. I use approaches like EMDR and Gottman-informed therapy, but just as important is having a space where you can be open and feel understood. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. We can take it one step at a time and go from there.

The job of a counselor is to help you find your footing and support you on your unique journey. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to all potential clients to ensure we are a great fit.

Seattle, Washington therapist: Anna Barrios, licensed clinical social worker
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Anna Barrios

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I live in the beautiful Southwest, and I embrace my Hispanic heritage. My best childhood memories are family road trips between Mexico and the USA. I learned at an early age that diversity was something to cherish, and yet I realized that differences can lead to division. With this in mind, I decided to pursue a degree in social work. I chose to focus on mental health in order to be a catalyst for hope and healing in my community. I have worked with nonprofit organizations, schools, and State agencies delivering best-practice mental health services. Currently, I provide tele-health services in three States. I am a bilingual therapist- Spanish. and I specialize in helping adults process childhood trauma due to family substance use, domestic abuse and neglect. The focus is to treat the anxiety, depression, grief, difficulty with relationships, challenges in parenting, and a host of issues that may result from unresolved pain. I believe that healing is a journey we do not have to travel alone.
