J. Rosalyn Diehl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPPC, LPC
Even strong relationships can face challenges. Whether you're struggling with communication issues, recurring conflict, trust concerns, emotional distance, infidelity, or navigating a major life transition together, therapy can provide a supportive space to better understand one another and strengthen your connection. My approach focuses on improving communication, increasing emotional intimacy, developing healthier conflict-resolution skills, and helping couples work through challenges with greater understanding and respect. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns and build a stronger foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

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.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Relationships are difficult. It takes many very unnatural behaviors to create a high-quality relationship. Improving your reactions to your partner is the most important aspect and, since it is the only thing you can control anyway, this is your work. Whether it's in a couple’s session or you do the work individually, you will need to improve yourself and your reactivity and become a better you. Too many couples enter my office and expect me to change their partner because they want relief from their negative interactions. I will always gently steer things back to what you can do to make things better. My style is solution oriented, where I will give you all the tools I can in order to reduce conflict and increase connection, making a better relationship.

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.

Marcelle Little
Marriage and Family Therapist, MPH, MA
Who does not or has not had a challenging relationship? Our deepest desire is to connect; yet, conflict and pain is unavoidable. Seeing things from an attachment style lens (anxious, avoidant, chaotic) helps identify gaps while cultivating self-compassion, a conduit for intimacy and connection to Self and others.

San Mateo is a Bay Area city on the Peninsula between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, part of one of the most expensive real estate markets in the world, and home to a large proportion of technology industry workers whose work-related stressors—alongside the intense financial pressure of Peninsula housing costs—shape much of the local mental health demand. The city has a significant East and Southeast Asian population, including large Filipino and Chinese-American communities, for whom culturally competent therapy that addresses specific cultural dynamics around family, stigma, and identity is an important consideration. A well-developed private therapy sector serves the affluent professional community, and telehealth has extended the effective therapy market across the Bay Area. Common therapy concerns include tech industry burnout, housing cost anxiety and financial stress, Asian-American identity and family dynamics, relationship difficulties, and the paradox of acute psychological distress in an objectively privileged material environment.
