Therapists in Campbell, CA

As a person of color born and raised in the Bay Area, I truly believe in my task and role as a therapist to reach those who feel as though their story is unheard and invalidated by the world we currently live in. My strengths as a therapist consist of gaining over nine years of experience working in the field of mental health as a mental health clinician under the non-profit realm and private practice within Santa Clara County. Over the course of my experience I have built skills in providing therapy to socioeconomically diverse families, children, individuals, couples, and those who identify with the LGBTQIA population.

Therapy can enhance your life and your relationship. Find ways to improve your relationships. Learn to equalize the power, learn respectful communication skills, stop arguing about the "small stuff and bring more joy and intimacy into your relationships

You’re tired of doing the same thing over and over and finding yourself in the same situation. You know that you’re smarter than this! You beat yourself up for making the same mistakes again and again. You know the answers --- love yourself, say no, check in with yourself --- but you can’t seem to translate that into day to day. You desperately want to find peace in your life, and in your relationships. You want to be fully yourself, to be whole and happy, to stand tall and walk in your strength. You know you’re good and kind and trustworthy and yet you still question yourself. Stop doubting yourself. Let's do this together!

As a resilient survivor of decades of trauma, I am passionate about serving children, adolescence, adults, and their families to promote healing from physical, emotional, sexual, intergenerational, and racial traumas. With 19 years serving populations with varying neurodiversities (ADHD, ASD, developmental delays), mental health struggles, and marginalized communities with complex traumas (e.g., substance abuse, domestic violence, sexual trauma, oppression), I am dedicated to empowering others to access their most authentic selves and journeying alongside people as they create a purposeful life that is meaningful for them.

Have you noticed that things have just not been the same for the past few months or weeks and can't really seem to figure out why? Your daily routine has been thrown off, your relationships are changing and maybe even your school/work performance is also getting impacted. You tried everything that others have suggested but it still doesn't seem to work. Maybe therapy was not the first idea but you feel like you would be considered a burden to others when talking about these things so you made a difficult to decision to give it a try.

We tend to build shields to protect from uncomfortable and distressing thoughts and emotions because we're not taught how to manage or experience them without the feeling of drowning. Avoidance of, numbing, or collapsing into emotional storms can keep us stuck in unhelpful cycles and disconnect us from a life of vitality. It can feel impossible to get out of these cycles when our thoughts try to convince us that we're broken, stuck, or not good enough, especially when we're trying to do it alone. Sharing our struggles with someone else can help us learn to look at (instead of from) them, and then be able to see how to get unstuck.

I am trained as a psychologist and psychotherapist in both California and Sweden. I am an appointed Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, and I have over 30-years of experience in providing mental health treatment. I am a board certified specialist (ABPP) in both forensic psychology and psychoanalysis and a certified Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME). I provide treatment as well as psychological and forensic evaluations. I know how to help you effectively without judgement or blame. You have the right to feel better about yourself and your life.

"Grief does not change you...it reveals you."- John Green. Loss comes in many forms; death of a loved one, family trauma, end of a relationship or job, a move/loss of home, and health issues. Experiencing grief because of loss can make us turn away just when we need the most support. We can also get triggered at certain times, especially around the holidays. Reaching out takes courage and I provide a safe, nonjudgmental and caring space to help clients express complicated emotions, manage anxiety/sleep issues, learn coping skills and practice self-care during these life changing transitions.

Therapy is a place where you can understand yourself at a deeper level. You will be able to realize how things work in your life and ways of changing things up to make you feel better. I will listen closely to your story and together we will come to an understanding of how you are making things work and if something is not working we will come up with other, more helpful ways to cope with situations.

Harmonie Stone has been a student of the developmental and psychological wellness fields for over 9 years. She has a Bachelors of Science in Child and Adolescent Development and a Masters Degree in Psychology. Her work as a counselor has lead her to take a special interest in chronic stress and trauma and their influence on the nervous system's ability to communicate with the mind and body. Her desire is to take a more whole person approach in healing from chronic stress and trauma.

Do you often feel reactive to something your partner does or says? Are misunderstandings that lead to arguing and hurt feelings common in your relationship? Do you struggle to feel connected to your partner on a deep level, or when you do it’s short-lived? Maybe it seems if only they could see things from your point of view, you'd understand each other and the arguing would stop. You still love each other, but it’s frustrating and exhausting when you feel like you’ve tried everything and you're still stuck in the same cycles. You don’t want to be living parallel lives, but sometimes arguing or disconnecting is the only option.

Sometimes having compassion for ourselves is much harder than extending compassion to others. It’s difficult when we are dealing with thoughts that convince us we are broken or stuck, or when we are facing issues that seem larger than us, issues that appear beyond what our personal power can handle. Along with these thoughts of uncertainty come feelings such as anxiety, sadness, shame, and grief, all of which we struggle to avoid. This can make living a valued existence appear difficult or impossible. Yet it is. You don’t need to go it alone. I can see that power within you, even if you are unable to see this in yourself.

It’s human to want things to be different but to feel wary of change; that’s how we get stuck. For more than 35 years I’ve helped people – adults, teens, pre-teens and couples - get unstuck. My down-to-earth and non-judgmental style will help you talk freely about your concerns and hopes. Together we’ll help you create a new direction in life that fits your unique circumstances - no "one size fits all" approach here. Whether your problem is with your child, your partner, your boss or yourself, I can help you sort it all out so you feel your life is back on track again.

If you're reading this page right now, something isn't working in your life. You may be stuck in a harmful pattern, carrying an emotional burden you've held too long, or in a relationship that is causing you more pain than happiness; perhaps you're worried about your teen, and looking for someone to help. The good news is that problems can be solved and patterns can be changed. I can help. I provide a healing environment in which individual adults and couples discover the inner strength and resources they already have.

I am currently accepting new clients. You deserve the opportunity to reach your full potential. You may feel held back by tough times, or life's wounds. My goal is to provide unconditional acceptance and support, so you can go to your most vulnerable places and transform them into powerful strengths. YOU have the capacity to heal emotional pain. I will work with you in a way that feels emotionally safe and at your own pace. My style is warm and relational, and I enjoy approaching the therapeutic process using creative methods such as expressive arts.

Mental wellness and physical wellness can either help or hinder the other. Behavioral treatments significantly improve both mental and physical outcomes, but we know it's easier said than done. I take a primarily cognitive-behavioral approach, which has the strongest evidence base and research backing, to most problem areas impacting your wellness. CBT techniques effectively change your life in the here-and-now, but careful consideration of your values show us what changes to make and how. We will explore your values and goals together; I have not climbed your mountain, but as I climb mine I’m driven to help you summit yours.

I specialize in supporting new and expecting families experiencing prenatal/postpartum depression and anxiety, birth trauma, and grief and loss, including pregnancy loss. The journey into motherhood invites us to experience intense love and joy, but it also touches our most raw and vulnerable parts. We may experience worries of not being good enough or fears of losing our identity. I understand how difficult it can be to take time for yourself when you feel overwhelmed and over-extended. But I also know that taking the time now to increase self-awareness can move you beyond survival and transform your experience of motherhood.

I work with adults, teens and provide family therapy. My specialities include treating depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal ideation, mother-daughter relational dynamics, mood disorders, self-identity, self-esteem, confidence and body positivity. In therapy, I integrate whole wellness and health and build upon your strengths. I work towards inspiring creativity within yourself as I believe everyone is the author of their own lives.

Any person who enters into therapy with me is appreciated and welcomed. I identify each client as unique and feel a deep respect for them. My work experience has been primarily with adults and teenagers and it's been an incredibly enriching privilege. I practice client centered therapy, which acknowledges the client's wisdom, and holistic treatments. Whatever the client's issue is, I will be open minded, open hearted and compassionate. Whatever the therapeutic goal, I will assist and explore with the client at their speed. I truly look forward to working with my clients and I'm keenly interested in their therapeutic process.
