Stress
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.

Stress
Chris Guthrey
Psychologist, PsyD
In my practice, I integrate therapeutic approaches to help individuals manage stress effectively. By fostering acceptance of challenging thoughts and emotions, clients can develop greater psychological flexibility, enabling them to navigate stressors more effectively. Additionally, exploring unconscious processes and past experiences allows clients to uncover underlying causes of stress, leading to deeper self-awareness and lasting relief.

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.

If you are feeling excessively stressed, you know it's bad for you. We will work together on relaxation strategies and managing your boundaries better to lower your stress level wherever possible, depending on your unique situation, circumstances and what aspects of your life you want to change. It may be that there are parts of you that feel like you have to carry on, or be perfect and override what your body is telling you. We will work together on identifying these parts, getting to know them and trying to get you to a place of more harmony and less stress in your system.

Stress
Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Stress often intensifies during major life transitions—career shifts, parenting, relocation, or relationship changes. Through an attachment-informed and emotion-focused approach, we explore how stress impacts connection and communication.
Using IFS, we identify protective patterns such as irritability, withdrawal, or self-criticism, and strengthen internal self-leadership. Therapy helps you respond rather than react, fostering resilience both internally and relationally.

Stress
John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
Social anxiety, in my opinion, is a completely normal reaction to a world that has become increasingly hard to navigate, interpret and understand. The last few years have been devastating for people trying to function, not alone make sense of the world around them. I work with clients to reframe their experience into an affirming, compassionate narrative that helps them see the beauty in both themselves and their environment.

Rebecca Rothberg
Psychologist, Psy.D., M.A., R.Y.T.
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.

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.
