A different approach

Our approach to clinical psychotherapy is collaborative, Transpersonal, rooted in Buddhist Psychology, and utilizes Liberation Psychology framework — meeting you in the context of your culture, community, or family.

Where some models of psychotherapy place pathology within the individual, a liberatory approach applies critical consciousness, situating the psychological difficulties faced by individuals in the context of the larger cultural, racial, and socioeconomic conditions in which they are arising.

Where Liberatory Collaboration supports you in your everyday life, Liberatory Psychotherapy is a clinical service, addressing the acute particularities and nuances of things like complex trauma, ongoing grief, or recurring periods of deep depression. While we don’t bill insurance, we are able to provide a “superbill” for you to submit for potential reimbursement to your insurance provider.

Support is available in person in West Sonoma County, CA, and online throughout the state of California.
