At Coastal Woods Psychology, we provide personalized, specialty psychotherapy for trauma and anxiety to adults in the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout California.
Welcome
We are an expert team of licensed clinical psychologists who provide culturally-attuned trauma and anxiety treatments that are grounded in the current research.
We flexibly adapt the evidence-based treatments we learned through training at places such as Stanford, the Philadelphia VA, and the San Francisco VA.
In our clinical practice, we aim to develop meaningful therapeutic relationships with our clients to support them in their pursuit of healing.
Our Approach
At Coastal Woods Psychology, our clinicians provide evidence-based treatment catered to your treatment goals.
We strive to ground our interventions in the current research, while also closely collaborating with you to ensure individualized, culturally-attuned, and effective treatment.
We truly believe that the effectiveness of therapy begins with the therapeutic relationship, and we always aspire to provide a compassionate space where you feel motivated and safe to work toward your goals.
We ultimately aim to provide you the tools you need to create meaningful and lasting change.
Embracing Acceptance, Empowering Change:
Your Path to Healing
What to Expect
We offer a free, 20-minute phone consultation to discuss what you are hoping to work on in therapy, and to determine if our clinic can help you with those goals.
Phone Consultation
Assessment & Treatment Planning
During our first few sessions we assess your current challenges, learn about your history, and collaboratively determine your treatment plan.
We provide individualized, goal-oriented, and evidence-based treatment.
Our clients typically see meaningful change in 12-20 sessions (approximately 3-5 months).
We also monitor your progress throughout treatment to ensure the treatment plan continues to serve your needs.
Therapy
Once you have met your treatment goals by building on your existing strengths and developing new, healthier habits, you and your therapist will collaboratively determine if you are ready to graduate from care.
We hope your new skills boost your confidence and support lasting positive change.
Post-graduation, additional “booster” check-in sessions may be used for reinforcement of skills, processing new stressors, or determining if you may benefit from returning to therapy.
