David B. Biggs
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Hello and thank you for checking out my profile. I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in clinical, residential, and private practice settings, and have received training in multiple evidence based therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy. Choosing the right therapist from a website can be difficult, which is why I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so you can get a sense of whether I'm a good fit for your needs. If I'm not, I will make every effort to refer you to a therapist that is. If we do choose to work together, I will work hard to build an authentic, trusting relationship with you, so together we can uncover your inner resources to overcome the challenges you’re facing, and attain the personal growth you're committed to accomplishing.

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.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
At a personal level, I value substance over presentation, meaningful connection over polished appearances, and honesty delivered with care. I am curious about people, loyal in my relationships, and rarely interested in the easy or rehearsed answer. I appreciate intelligence, humor, directness, and the kind of conversation that makes time disappear.
My life has made me attentive to what people carry quietly and to the distance that can exist between how a life appears and how it actually feels. I believe in accountability without shame, depth without intensity for its own sake, and care that respects autonomy. I have a deep respect for the courage it takes to question what we have inherited, live with greater intention, and build something honest from the experiences that have changed us.
I am committed to showing up thoughtfully and consistently, honoring the responsibility that comes with being invited into someone’s inner life. This work matters to me because it offers the possibility of greater clarity, connection, and integrity, both within ourselves and in how we relate to others. I believe there is something quietly powerful about understanding yourself well enough to make choices rooted in truth rather than fear, expectation, or approval.
