Relational Therapists in Livermore, CA

Having trouble negotiating so many new changes? Is your partner or your kids getting on your nerves? Dealing with intrusive, negative thoughts? Therapy can help. I am non-judgmental, down-to-earth, honest, and compassionate. I offer a comfortable and safe environment, and a genuine interest to understand your experience(s). With more than 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples, I can help you achieve your goals. I am also certified as a Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider. I believe that food, exercise, and stress greatly impact your medical and mental health.

Are you feeling lonely, sad, frustrated, unhappy? Experiencing difficulty with relationships, personal or in the work place? Have you recently experienced a loss of a loved one or a relationship and are having difficulty navigating the emotional impact? Maybe you are feeling stuck in how to manage a life change or just stuck in your own mind? Struggling with connecting with others and communicating your needs? Possibly having difficulty in recognizing the person looking back at you in the mirror or not liking what you see?

Are you finding it difficult to make the changes you want on your own? Do you need insight and new tools to make your life more fulfilling? I am here to help you make those hopes for a better life a reality! Creating a safe place to explore new ideas and helping you develop new skills is what I do best. I use a collaborative approach, taking the time to understand your needs, working towards you living an authentic life. In a non-judgmental environment, with empathy and a sense of humor, I work with Couples, Adults and Teens promoting wellness and positive life change.

My clients often feel like they're too much: too scared, too anxious, too angry, too sad, too weird, too quiet, too loud, too bad, and even too good. Whether something big and traumatic happened to make you feel "off" or you just got born this way, we work together to explore it, accept it, and do something you feel good about with it. My goal is to help clients find the way to be most themselves in the world so that they feel confident enough to learn new behaviors and different ways of connecting for successful relationships with themselves and others.

My ideal clients are couples and individuals with desire to improve their relationships, in an intimate partner setting or with family members. Change can often be difficult and uncomfortable. It is much easier when there is willingness to be reflective and gain insight from another's perspective. There are tools to improve your communication and manage conflict productively. Oftentimes we are too close to the issues that we may not be able to a clear direction to the goals we want to achieve.

It may feel like parts of you are broken or you hurt so deeply and nothing seems to heal the wounds. But you know you want more for yourself, for your relationships, and you want to take that next step towards healing. You may find you are struggling with anxiety, depression, you feel “stuck”, your relationships are challenged, your body feels tense and stressed, or you can’t quite understand why things feel out of sorts. You want to heal, but you don't know where to begin. I want you to know you are not alone, you are not too broken to heal, and you are worthy of living in a body and environment that is calm and enjoyable.

I offer compassionate and effective therapy at an affordable price. Do you sometimes feel confusion, anxiety, sadness? Are there times you are overwhelmed or feel out of control? These feelings are often worsened when we try to work through them alone. That is where I come in for support. I provide a safe environment where you can feel seen, heard, valued, and can feel comfortable showing up authentically. I prioritize a collaborative and connection-based therapeutic relationship where YOU are honored as the expert of your own experience and feel you are in the driver's seat of your healing.

Are you having difficulties personally or in your relationships causing you sadness, irritation, depression, anxiety or general discomfort and don't know what to do? Would you like to change those compromising circumstances or learn to manage them more effectively? Choosing to enter therapy can be your avenue to resolving your problems and creating the life you desire. I would like to help you achieve your goals. I am dedicated to my profession and passionate about the work. Let's set up a consultation. We can meet in person and talk about your personal wants and desires.

Does your child, age 10 or under, need help connecting to themselves and others healthily? Do they need to heal trauma/exposure to conflict/violence? Do they need improved emotional regulation skills? To replace self-harm with self-nurture. I help children heal, grieve, and grow. My focus is on assisting children in developing a healthy sense of self and experiencing their power cooperatively (rather than competitively). Sometimes, I work with parents to help them heal their own childhood trauma and be emotionally available to their children. Other times, I work with families to uncover and change dysfunctional patterns.

Does it ever feel like you can talk and talk but it doesn’t lead to lasting change? While some types of therapy focus on gaining insight by analyzing the endless stories that run through your head, a growing body of research shows that effective therapy needs to include the mind and the body.

Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, or loneliness? Are you having problems in communication with your partner or family member? Are you going through a life transition and feeling burdened, stuck, or overwhelmed? Crisis, trauma, loss, and suffering can lead to the discovery of new capacities for healing and growth. I believe therapy is a transformative and collaborative process which can help. I welcome working with individuals, as well as couples and families. I offer a safe, genuine, caring, and non judgmental environment where I support you in discovering the tools you need to meet your goals.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate & supportive environment so that you can create the change you are seeking. I can help you improve relationships, gain new ways of coping, decrease anxiety & depression, and increase self-worth. I use humor when needed & deep understanding for the path that you are on. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is important in order to grow in therapy. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, self-wellness, children of divorce & various teen concerns. By offering questions, observations & insights I can help guide you in managing life's challenges & making changes in your life.

Navigating through life can be brutal at times. The price of admission on this journey is often great pain, deep loss, and profound confusion, and many of us believe the measure of strength is how much of it we can navigate alone. But connection and support are often the greatest access points to healing. So our work together will be centered around more compassion and less comparison, more acceptance and less fixing, and more normalizing and less shame. I hope to help create peace within your relationships, encourage empowerment in your choices and gently guide you back home to yourself.

Hello, my name is Vicki Letica, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working out of the East Bay Area. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, or going through a difficult phase of life, we may be a good fit. My belief is that looking inward and exploring parts of ourselves, especially the ones that we might want to hide or we feel shame about, is a worthwhile journey towards wholeness and better relationships with others and ourselves.  My work is informed by Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems

I offer empathetic and effective therapy at an affordable price with weekend availability. Life can be stressful and full of challenges. It can feel like everything is coming at you all at once and that you’re navigating the storms of life alone. When we're experiencing overwhelm and disconnection from ourselves and others, it can be difficult to know which way to turn. Well, you’re in the right place. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices. I work hard to provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you are invited to be your authentic self and explore your inner world.

You deserve a relationship that feels good. If you’re here, you may be feeling frustrated, exhausted, or even hopeless about yours. You’re longing for better communication, increased trust, and a deeper connection, though you’re at a loss over how to get there. You keep dancing the same dance, but you’re more than ready to change the tempo. I get it. And I’m here to tell you that there is help (and hope) for your relationship.

Being hurt is a part of life. None of us are free of pain. Sometimes, the troubles of life, the losses you have experienced, the pain and hurt other people have caused, your fears about the future, and your regrets about your past create a life of torment. By taking responsibility for your life, accepting, and allowing what happens to you rather than resisting the pain, you can move forward with your life. You are worthy to live your life with joy, love, clarity, and dignity. Let me be your friend and fellow traveler on your journey.
