Therapy for Individual Adults in Redwood City and Bay Area
Individual therapy is a space that belongs entirely to you. It is a time set aside to examine your thoughts, feelings, values, and experiences. Many of our clients describe it as one of the few places in their lives where they feel heard and understood without pressure to perform or hold anything back.
Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or returning after a break, we are here to meet you where you are. Our experienced therapists work with individual adults from all backgrounds, identities, and stages of life.
Explore Therapy for Anxiety, Trauma, and Depression in Adults
You might not always have the language for what you are experiencing. You might just know that you feel “off,” anxious, disconnected, exhausted, or stuck. Individual counseling gives you a supportive environment to explore these feelings, get to the root of what is going on, and find a path forward.
Adults are navigating complex lives. There are external stressors like financial pressure, career demands, and family expectations. There are also internal stressors like anxiety, depression, trauma, or perfectionism. When these layers build up, it is easy to lose connection with your needs, goals, or sense of purpose. Therapy helps you come back to yourself.
You do not have to wait until everything feels unbearable to reach out. Many people come to therapy simply because they want to understand themselves better or make more aligned decisions. It is a proactive and empowering step.
Rediscover Balance and Meaning Through Individual Therapy
Some of the most common issues we support individual adults with include:
- Anxiety and panic that interferes with sleep, work, or relationships
- Depression or persistent low mood that leaves you feeling sad, empty, and unmotivated
- Grief and loss, including complicated grief or anticipatory grief
- Relationship concerns, such as communication issues or boundary difficulties
- Self-esteem issues and harsh inner criticism
- Perfectionism and burnout, especially among high-achieving professionals
- Trauma and post-traumatic stress, whether recent or from childhood
- Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, leading to feeling stuck in repetitive, rigid patterns
- Eating disorders and disordered eating , characterized by struggles with food, exercise, or body image
- Family conflict , including estrangement, codependency, or caregiving stress
- Life transitions , such as moving, ending a relationship, changing careers, or becoming a parent
- Identity exploration , including cultural, gender, and sexual identity
- Chronic illness , pain, or ongoing health concerns that affect your mental wellbeing
Sometimes clients arrive in therapy with a clear issue they want to address. Other times, the distress feels harder to define. You might just know that something is off or that you are not feeling like yourself. That is a valid and important reason to seek help. You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy.
A Personalized Approach to Adult Counseling
- Identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns

- Building stress resilience and tools for self-regulation
- Processing trauma so it no longer controls your daily life
- Clarifying your personal values and life direction

The therapeutic process is not linear. There may be moments of deep insight, as well as moments when things feel uncertain or challenging. We will be here through all of it, offering steady guidance and space for your unfolding.

We are also deeply committed to cultural humility and strive to create an affirming space for clients of all backgrounds. Whether you are exploring aspects of your identity, navigating systemic oppression, or unpacking intergenerational trauma, we hold your lived experience with care and respect.
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we will shape an approach that makes sense for your values, preferences, and goals.
You might begin therapy looking for symptom relief. Along the way, you may also find yourself developing a stronger sense of self, a renewed connection to your relationships, and more freedom in how you respond to life’s inevitable ups and downs.
