therapy for grief and trauma in the bay area

Individual Therapy

Something deep inside you is calling you to this work.  It may be a longing for relief, direction, or re-connection to self.

Together you and your therapist will discover your internal power source- that which creates meaning, builds relationships, and carves careers and life ambitions.  

In order to tap into, realign with, or discover, your True Self, your Natural Self, the Self that is plugged into the power line of the True Yang energy source-we focus our work on healing and transformation. Going inward we clean out that which is old and no longer serving us; moving outward we can connect and create with people and pursuits which support and nourish our True Self.

True Yang therapists use Somatic and Mindfulness based therapy approaches including the Hakomi Method, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and EMDR, to help explore “core material," the composition of your memories, beliefs, and traumas that influence the major themes of life: safety, belonging, support, power, freedom, control, responsibility, love, appreciation, sexuality, spirituality, etc.
