Theo Kuczek
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
We are a social species. We need human connection. Healthy human connection. Relationships can be a place to foster growth as individuals and as a unit. Finding the right words to communicate your experience and learning to hear others languages is critical to having satisfying and meaningful relationships.

Alana Morazzini
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Relationships are some of the most meaningful — and most challenging — parts of our lives. I specialize in couples therapy and relationship counseling, helping partners deepen their communication, navigate conflict with more ease, and heal the wounds that can quietly build over time. I draw on the Developmental Model of couples therapy, which offers a reassuring roadmap: it helps couples understand why certain patterns of conflict arise, and more importantly, how to break free from them and build lasting connection.

KT Glusac
Counselor/Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I work with couples to bring awareness to relational patterns and support healthier ways of connecting. Grounded in relational and depth psychology, I help partners explore dynamics in the “here and now” while linking them to their origins. Humor, warmth, and presence are vital resources in navigating difficult conversations together.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I offer couples therapy that supports partners in understanding the patterns that keep them feeling disconnected or stuck. Our work focuses on slowing down communication and exploring the emotional and relational histories each partner brings into the relationship. We can work to make sense of how misunderstandings and conflicts take shape and practice actionable steps to take in the moment to foster more connection. Together, we can work toward greater attunement and empathy for the other and develop more compassionate ways of relating, repairing rupture, and moving forward with intention and care in your relationship.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Couples therapy focuses on communication, emotional safety, sexual connection, and breaking repetitive conflict cycles. I help partners move from blame to understanding and from distance to deeper connection. We will work a lot on learning to communicate and remembering that even though we may "know" are partners to remain curious about one another and how to share and take in each other with newness.

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
I've been married for 20 years and I think it's very easy over a long period of time to fall into the habit of not speaking very respectfully to one another and not showing a great deal of curiosity for the other partner's inner world. My work with couples uses the Gottman Method primarily and focuses on teaching you better communication skills, empathy and understanding and different tools for how to problem solve and compromise. Another thing I do a lot with couples is help you identify what your dynamics/patterns are so we can look at how you can avoid going around the same old negative and unhelpful cycles again and again. Instead, you can recognize what's happening and do something different in the hope of creating a more helpful and productive dynamic. This takes work and commitment, but it can be done!

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Conflict in relationships often reflects deeper developmental patterns shaped long before the partnership began. I integrate IFS, attachment-based models, and EFT to help couples understand how early relational experiences influence current dynamics.
Together, we slow down reactive cycles, strengthen emotional regulation, and build secure attachment within the relationship. Therapy provides a structured, supportive environment for repair, accountability, and renewed connection.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
I work on both ends of the relationship funnel - those going in , those stuck in the middle and those going out. Relationship dynamics are complicated but building the connection is easy. Through building communication skills and listening techniques, it is possible to see things clearly. I use CBT, CCT and EFT to effectively cut through emotional clutter to get you back on track.

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.
