Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief is a season without end. It consumes, suffocates, diffuses. It is days of silence. It is unfeeling as a stone. It is raw as a volcano, erupting, tears for hours on end. Grief and loss are also incredibly human experiences. They confirm that we are living, feeling, complex creatures capable of more. Our capacity for grief is commiserate with our capacity for love.

Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in providing "successful" therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore the pain of your loss. I have a certificate in grief and loss and have experience in working with clients who have lost those close to them. The goal is to help you achieve freedom from the pain you are currently experiencing.

Romina Schnelle
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief is a deeply personal experience that can follow the loss of a loved one, a beloved pet, a relationship, a significant life role, or the future you envisioned. There is no "right" way to grieve, and healing does not mean forgetting. I provide a compassionate, supportive space to help you process your loss, navigate the complex emotions that often accompany grief, and adapt to life after loss. When appropriate, I also incorporate EMDR to help address traumatic aspects of the loss or experiences that may be complicating the grieving process.

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.

San Jose sits at the heart of Silicon Valley, where the pressures of the tech industry — performance anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the psychological cost of relentless innovation culture — drive significant demand for therapists experienced in high-achievement environments. The city's large South Asian and East Asian communities mean culturally competent therapists who understand the intersection of immigrant identity, family expectations, and mental health are particularly sought after. Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing independent therapy community. Many South Bay therapists offer evening and weekend hours to accommodate the demanding work schedules common in the tech sector.
