We are all made of multitudes - of many parts - yet at the core, we are whole and wise. Life, with its many challenges, has a way of distancing us from our core self at times! If there are any parts of you that feel broken, in conflict, stuck, confused, anxious, depressed; If doubtful, fearful, or critical thoughts or perfectionism, controlling, and people-pleasing, are interfering with your contentment and thriving in your relationships or family or work- therapy can help. In therapy, we connect to your inner wisdom, the “true you” that knows what is right for you; and we unburden you from unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

In addition to working with individuals, I support couples to work through differences and conflict, make sense of big emotions, navigate changes, and find the connection you desire. With a former career in climate-advocacy, I offer climate-aware therapy for environmentalists or anyone struggling with eco-anxiety and grief in their work and life.

Anasis Nin said “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to ones own courage." The fact that you are seeking therapy says you have the courage to expand yourself and the possibilities for your life. Thank you for your courage to reach out. Ill be glad to chat.

I primarily use somatic-trauma therapies (IFS, Hakomi, and EMDR). In our first sessions we will identify which parts of you are in conflict, stuck, or wanting attention. With somatic-trauma work, we'll practice exploring these parts with mindfulness, curiosity, and compassion. I'll help you change the way you relate to your self and your feelings and let go of unwanted burdens.

Groups

Women's Climate Group

Hosted by

Joanna Calabrese

A therapeutic group for women who care deeply about the climate crisis and are impacted by ecological grief and anxiety. I weave tools from somatic therapy, art therapy, and eco therapy - such as mindfulness, movement, storytelling, grief ritual, etc.- to support women to move through despair and find renewed energy for action. The group runs for 3 months and includes 2-3 in-person meetings in the Bay Area on weekend days plus 10 meetings on Zoom on Wed evenings. Accepting new members now for the fall 2024 cohort!
