Theo Kuczek
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
In order for therapy to be effective, you need to trust and like your therapist. My style leans toward being both compassionate and direct. I like to educate my clients on the process of healing and personal growth to empower them to make the changes they want in their lives. Whether you're looking to alleviate your symptoms of anxiety or depression, looking for a new perspective on things, or desiring more confidence, my style adapts to accommodate your unique situation. I think it’s important to not only help clients alleviate symptoms and fix problems, but also cultivate enthusiasm for the self-reflection process and inspire their personal growth.

You can’t pinpoint when it happened, but all of a sudden you don’t feel the same. You’re waking up feeling discontent and struggling to get out of bed. Sometimes, you find yourself wondering what you’re doing with yourself… You don’t feel fulfilled at all. You think you should feel great – You have the job, the friends, likes and follows from your connections… yet you still feel alone. Your inner voice is telling you something is missing.
You know something is off… but you don’t want to stay this way. You’re ready to make changes in your life. You want to feel refreshed, energized, healthy, and ready to tackle the day. You want more out of friendships, coupledom, parenthood, work, and life. You want to be back on track – like you again, but an expanded version. You want the fire back!
I’m here to help you with online consultation scheduling and services designed with you in mind. My clients appreciate my straightforward, no-jargon, real-world approach. If you are ready to feel better and get back on track, then let’s get to work. Schedule an appointment today, right now—no more waiting.

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.

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.

Dr. Fernando Castrillon
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My way of helping people involves listening for and helping them articulate intimate aspects of themselves that they have not spoken and that they do not even know exist. It is both a process of discovery and invention, with an eye and ear towards real and lasting structural change.

Anders Greenwood
Psychologist, Psy.D, Ph.D.
I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.

Robert Holaway
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have specialized in the treatment of anxiety, fear, and OCD for over 20 years. I frequently work with individuals struggling with chronic worry, social anxiety, panic disorder, and OCD. These conditions are very treatable and evidence-based interventions are effective in helping individuals overcome suffering and live more fulfilling lives.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Over the past 34 years I have specialized in helping marginalized people heal, evolve, and find their tribe. I’ve spent deep and significant time with: LGBTQIA+, polyamory, sexual kink, sex therapy, and existential depth therapy. I am solution focused, very practical and direct, while also providing deep empathy and understanding. I prefer massive behavior change and strategies over digging into our deep, dark, past issues — we can always figure out the reason for our struggles later. All sessions are now online therapy (tele-health) using video technology.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
My Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach focuses primarily on clarifying and centering your deepest values. These values become guiding forces in learning to manage the discomforts that come with the inevitable challenges of living a life full of meaning and purpose. I also approach mental health from a multi-cultural, social justice orientation. I have extensive experience working with graduate students at high-pressured universities.

Oakland has a politically engaged, social-justice-oriented community where many therapists approach their work through an anti-oppression lens, specializing in racial trauma, activist burnout, and healing within BIPOC communities. The city's proximity to San Francisco means therapists here frequently work with the compounding stresses of the Bay Area housing crisis, economic displacement, and the grief of gentrification. Oakland has strong LGBTQ+ and creative communities, with demand for affirming therapists who work at the intersection of identity, community belonging, and personal wellbeing. Highland Hospital and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland provide institutional anchors alongside a network of independent practitioners.
