Julia Jensen
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client. Together, we can explore what is keeping you stuck, strengthen your coping skills, and help you move toward greater clarity, resilience and peace of mind. I am committed to working compassionately and respectfully with each of my clients. I view myself as both a guide and a witness to the sacred path of struggle, resilience and transformation that is part of the human experience.
With more than 40 years of clinical experience, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, religions, ethnicities, ages and life stages. I offer in-person sessions in a warm comfortable, ADA accessible office, as well as virtual sessions or a hybrid of both.
I am looking forward to collaborating with you on your personal journey.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands? Do you find yourself worried, angry, depressed, confused; or unsure how to cope? Perhaps you feel that no matter what you do, it is never quite good enough. You may be holding these feelings inside, unsure of who to talk to, where to turn, or feeling confused by the well-meaning but conflicting advice of others. Please know that you are not alone.
Reaching out for therapy can take tremendous courage. Whether you are dealing with a crisis, life transition, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, or a desire for meaningful change, therapy can offer a safe and supportive space to be heard and understood. I will help you understand your feelings, work through what keeps you stuck, and guide you in moving towards healing, growth, and greater peace of mind.

Life is hard to navigate. If communicating with others is difficult, if you constantly feel nervous, are grieving, or having family and relationship problems, I am here for you.
I have a passion for working with women weighed down by anxiety, self-doubt, or overwhelm. You may struggle finding balance in your life, feeling at peace with who you are, or expressing your needs in relationships.

I BELIEVE:
We all carry contradictions. It’s okay to have mixed feelings— life is complex.
Relationships are worth nurturing. With the right tools, we can communicate with more kindness and hear each other with more love.
You deserve the freedom to make your own choices—and to honor what’s right for you.
Bringing a balance of heart and humor to the therapy space helps clients find healing, resilience, and joy—one small moment at a time.

Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make that step feel comfortable, productive, and worthwhile. I’m a clinical psychologist who believes meaningful progress happens when therapy feels like a genuine working relationship built on trust, openness, curiosity, and collaboration. I bring empathy, creativity, and a down-to-earth style to our work, adapting therapy to who you are rather than expecting you to fit a particular approach.
Clients often tell me they feel at ease with me quickly, which can make it easier to talk honestly about what isn’t working and understand the patterns that may be keeping them feeling trapped. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety or overthinking, relationship difficulties, performance pressure, unhealthy ways of coping, or simply feel that something in your life needs to change, we’ll work together to better understand what’s getting in the way and find practical ways forward.
I especially enjoy working with people who are thoughtful and curious about themselves but want more than insight alone. If you’re looking for therapy that is engaged, collaborative, and focused on helping you translate greater self-understanding into meaningful change, I’d be glad to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

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.

Erin Powers
Counselor/Therapist, APCC 9590
I believe that we all have the capacity to heal. I take a trauma-informed, body-based, and spiritually grounded approach to working with clients. I have experience working with clients (primarily women) from a variety of backgrounds, including those experiencing anxiety and co-occurring health issues impacting mental health. I enjoy incorporating mindfulness, expressive arts, and other holistic modalities into my sessions and will provide you with resources to utilize in your everyday life. As Carl Jung states, "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become".
