Ryan James Carroll
Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to practice as a therapist; there is nothing I would rather do.
I received my training in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and now practice depth psychotherapy with the Center for Mindful Psychotherapy in San Francisco.
Before becoming a therapist, I gained valuable experience working in government and business, both internationally and cross-culturally. These experiences have enriched my understanding of diverse perspectives and complex human dynamics, deepening my capacities as a therapist.
My approach is compassionate and client-centered, focusing on uncovering the core issues affecting individuals and couples. I hold a deeply rooted belief in the transformative power of psychotherapy to foster healing and growth.

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.

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #79783
I offer warm, direct, collaborative, and evidence-based depth psychotherapy for simple and complex/developmental trauma. I work from a bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens, addressing all of these elements in understanding and treating difficult symptoms. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and psychedelic preparation and integration services. I welcome clients from all walks of life but focus mostly on the LGBTQ+ community.

BAM Psych - Gabrielle Anderson, PhD
Psychologist
At BAM Psych, we believe good mental health care starts with being understood. Our Berkeley practice brings together psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and psychiatric care to help people make sense of what they're experiencing and move toward meaningful change.
We have particular expertise in ADHD and executive functioning, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, and women's mental health, including PMDD, fertility concerns, pregnancy and postpartum, and perimenopause.
We take time to understand your history, strengths, relationships, and goals—not just your symptoms. Treatment is collaborative and individualized, whether you're seeking psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluation and medication management, or a combination of services.
Our clinicians work closely together when care is shared, and we coordinate with other healthcare professionals when appropriate and with your permission.
We offer in-person appointments in Berkeley and telehealth for eligible patients. New appointments are generally available within one to two weeks, depending on clinician and service. If you're considering care, we're happy to help you find the right fit.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
“I would rather be whole than good.” – Carl Jung
If you’re ready to move beyond performing, pleasing, or simply surviving and step into a more whole, honest version of yourself, I’d be honored to work with you. My approach blends psychodynamic depth, relational therapy, Gestalt awareness, and certified sex therapy to support meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with Black and POC adults and couples who want deeper connection, authenticity, and fulfillment. When you’re ready to choose wholeness, I invite you to reach out.

Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many of the clients I work with feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, low self-worth, or unresolved trauma. Some are navigating burnout or relationship struggles and aren't sure where to begin — they just know they want something to change. My role is to help clients reconnect with themselves, uncover new insight, and build a more grounded, meaningful life.
I also support clients struggling with trichotillomania, skin picking, and other BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors). These patterns often develop in response to anxiety, trauma, or emotional stress. Using EMDR and evidence-based strategies, I help clients better understand their urges, reduce harmful behaviors, and build greater self-awareness and compassion.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker and EMDR-trained therapist offering online therapy for adults throughout California. My approach combines trauma-informed care, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), parts work, and other evidence-based tools to support lasting change. I tailor therapy to each individual’s needs and pace, offering a compassionate space where healing feels possible and manageable.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Hello! Client's seeking therapy with me are met with dignity, warmth, attunement and deep care for their stories. I have a strong foundation in community mental health and ongoing work as a solo practitioner in private practice. I have also lived with a chronic illness for more than twenty years, a journey that has deeply shaped how I understand self-care, resilience, and what it means to show up for oneself—even in the presence of ongoing pain and discomfort. I understand how pain--both physical and emotional--can shape our inner worlds and influence how we move through our lives, sometimes leaving us feeling stuck in patterns that no longer reflect our values or our visions for the future. I love supporting people who are navigating similar terrain—whether that includes chronic illness or chronic pain, substance use and harm reduction, a complicated relationship to food and body, or experiences of anxiety, loneliness, depression, and a broader sense of dis-ease—offering a space for reflection, compassion, and meaningful change.
