Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 39 years
FREE INTRO Session - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine.
Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by.
EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”…..
I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects.
“Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

Chris Doorley
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
I'm a Humanistic psychotherapist seeing individuals both in-person in Mill Valley, CA, and online for people anywhere in California. My approach encourages people to meet each moment with their full capacity. In session, work includes bolstering emotional regulation, practicing awareness of mind and body, and getting curious with what may be possible. I love to work with people who are creative, motivated, and independent.

Gwendolyn Evans, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
My life mission is to create Inner Peace, one person at a time, one couple at a time. Are you anxious or depressed? Struggling with emotional or physical infidelity? Feeling lonely, overwhelmed or undervalued in your life and relationships? Are you struggling with racial or cross-cultural issues? I've worked with all of these issues and experienced many of them myself, as a mixed-race person: African-American/Irish-Apache. There are ways to make peace with yourself while walking through our world of challenges.

Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Many people come to therapy feeling misunderstood or “othered,” even in spaces meant to support them. You may have tried therapy before and found yourself explaining your identity, culture, ambition, or creative life just to be understood. If you’ve struggled to trust that someone could truly “get it,” you’re not alone. I provide trauma-informed online therapy for founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals navigating burnout, anxiety, and chronic pressure.

Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed, and your normal tools aren't working? Maybe you're ready to make a big change - a different way forward in your relationship, a leap into a new career, or a demanding medical journey like IVF - but it feels like something is standing in the way. If you've never tried hypnotherapy, now may be the exact right time for you. Hypnosis helps you go beyond the conscious mind so you can heal more deeply, gain clarity, and even develop new neural pathways that support you to make the change you want most.
I offer hypnotherapy and coaching for sensitive, thoughtful people who are often seekers at heart. Together, we can find a path through some of life’s hardest moments: anxiety and trauma, medical procedures and chronic illness, relationship challenges, infertility, career transitions and more. (And yes, believe it or not, hypnosis is actually amazing over Zoom!). I offer clients a complimentary 30 minute consult call to see if hypnotherapy is right for you. I'd love to hear from you!

I have navigated many of the issues you probably have as well and feel comfortable and confident supporting you through them. In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, and discuss confidentiality, and other guidelines I want to make sure you are aware of as a client. Then we will dive into your needs and how I can support you with them.

Alison Alderdice
Psychologist, PsyD
Some people come to me overwhelmed, exhausted, and insecure. Others need help with an important life decision. My approach is active and collaborative: I trust their knowledge of themselves and offer my insights, skills, and training to achieve lasting change and healing. Together, we identify ways to align their daily lives and environments with their long-term goals and values. We turn avoidance into action and integrate unaccepted aspects of themselves through mindfulness and self-compassion. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I am passionate about helping people reduce their suffering and build lives they find meaningful and fulfilling.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a practicing psychotherapist in the San Francisco bay area since 1998. I am very experienced in helping adults navigate OCD, anxiety, job stress, burnout, trauma, addictive behaviors and relationship distress. I combine thoughtful depth work with practical tools for a scientifically informed, skillful, intelligent approach. I use effective tools such as EMDR, exposure and response prevention (E&RP), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotion focused therapy for couples (EFT) to support you through the difficulties you are navigating. Collaborating with an experienced psychologist can be a game changer. It can dramatically reduce suffering, create clarity and build a tool box specifically tailored to help you thrive through any challenge. My professional expertise is enhanced by my personal experience as a working mother, advocate for neurodiverse children, and long term relationship partner of 20+ years.
