This page lists Female Anxiety Family Therapists in Oakland. 6 in all.
That is 6 of the 8 family therapists listed in Oakland.
These are practitioners who identify as female on their profile 1. We ask every therapist that question, and they may decline to answer. We do not check the answer, and nothing here is ranked.
This list answers an explicit request for a woman. While many people prefer this, we found no research on whether it changes how the therapy goes.
A client and a practitioner always differ; what matters is what that means to you and how you work with it 2. You can filter the same list by the languages a practitioner works in.
How anxiety is treated
Anxiety treatment is for fear and worry that persist and get in the way. It is not for ordinary nerves.
The treatments with the most evidence are based on cognitive behavioural principles 3. That includes exposure therapy, where you face what you have been avoiding, a step at a time.
A prescriber may also consider medicine, depending on age and severity 4.
What a family therapist does, and who comes to the sessions
Everyone on this page describes their work as family or systemic therapy. Family therapy helps people in close relationships understand and support each other 5. It works with the relationships between people, not with one person alone.
Family here means whoever those involved count as family. Sessions usually have more than one person in the room.
A therapist may also meet members on their own 6. Ask a practitioner who they would want in the room.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the practitioner's stated Female identity, the specialism recorded as Anxiety and the professional title family therapist.
What therapy costs here
2 of these family therapists offer a sliding scale.
The Oakland page answers more questions about therapy there.
What these practitioners record
4 of the 6 have included their registration on their profile.
Who registers therapists in the United States?
