Pretending to be OK is so tiring
It’s the knot in the throat, the tight chest, a fog that sits on top of everything — your mornings, your relationships — the sense that joy is either foreign or forgotten…
Perhaps you’ve done the “talk therapy.” You understand the why. But understanding it logically hasn’t unstuck the body/heart/mind.
Your nervous system learned how to scan for danger at an early age, and it’s still running that old program — in your belly, your shoulders, and in your relationships.
It’s not your fault. And it can change.
Let’s Do It Together
As your co-pilot we both lead and follow.
Our team is made up of mothers, dancers, nurses, doulas, musicians, yogis, meditators, and clowns. We are single, married, divorced and come from different cultural backgrounds and previous careers.
We do our own inner healing work — and we know what it asks of you.
True Yang Therapy was founded by Marni Levy, LMFT — a therapist who “leads from behind,” trusting the client’s inner wisdom to lead the way. Marni created the S-KAP (Somatic-Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy) approach: a model that brings ketamine-assisted psychotherapy together with somatic (body-based) nervous system healing, intergenerational trauma healing, and early attachment repair.
Some of our core healing beliefs: (self)forgiveness is possible; anger and grief are necessary; phones are good tools but harmful masters; psychedelic medicines are sacred teachers; and that nature, music, community, and movement are just as powerful medicines.
The Healing Path
Step One
Say Hello
Schedule a consultation — a brief video call with one of our therapists. Ask anything. See if it feels right. We value your choice and comfort. ♡
Step Two
We get to know what you’ve been carrying
Together we explore what’s been living in your body, your patterns, your lineage. We build a healing path that’s yours — which may include KAP, somatic therapy, EMDR, or a weaving of all three.
Step Three
Sort and fold for liberation
We work together to tackle the pile of old wounds and old beliefs. We lovingly hold what you’ve out grown, sort through the stained memories and make a “give away pile.” Cleaning out the old feels like shedding layers. You feel lighter, more available to connect and create with people and pursuits that nourish your True Self.

Service Offerings
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
A promising therapy for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and developmental trauma. Our S-KAP approach combines the medicine with somatic, relational, and attachment-centered therapy to regulate the nervous system and build lasting change.
Somatic Therapy
Soma means body. When we involve the body in therapy, we contact the nervous system — where the wounds from way back when are stored. You learn how to live an embodied life rather than being stuck “in your head” and old stories.
EMDR
The gold standard for trauma recovery. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to transform painful beliefs lodged in place through trauma — relieving flashbacks, panic, and overwhelming emotional reactivity.
Couples & Dyad Therapy
From cradle to coffin we all need love and connection. We offer couples therapy that heals a relationship from negative patterns and past injuries. Ketamine in couples work has been called a “human fabric softener.”
Therapy for First Responders
Heroic job, specific needs. Oakland firefighters have 100% coverage for therapy services with True Yang Therapy. Confidential, flexible scheduling, virtual or in-office.
What would a “heartwash” feel like?
Finally, energy is freed up to grow your passions and purpose.
Less fear, chronic stress and fatigue. Less addictive behaviors with food, alcohol, cannabis, media. Mornings that feel inspired, full of possibility.
More peace and mindful moments–exercise, healthy eating. Blossoming in career and community. Growing self-love, self-compassion, boundary setting. Fostering creativity, spirituality, purpose and drive.
During my session, I felt an ephemeral opening up — my brain and heart were more available to the world and to relationships and work. I felt a sense of joy, something I had a very hard time experiencing in my daily life.
I feel like my brain is changing. I no longer want to drink — I don’t like the numbing quality anymore. I make more connections between my outer world and inner world, and that integration feels so meaningful.
We are available and ready to guide your healing journey.
Like the caterpillar that surrenders to its inevitable transformation, we know the courage it takes to give in to growth — to stand wobbly and uncertain in the moment of risk, needing to cast off the comfortable armor we’ve outgrown in order to serve the soul’s emergence.
We feel honored to hold your hurts with love, and your successes with celebration and encouragement. The likelihood of us vibing with you is high — we are genuinely enthusiastic with plenty of humor.
Reach out to say hello. We are excited to meet you.
