Ms Brooke Pomerantz
Psychotherapist
“ Hello and welcome! I help adults in Oakland who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck and are looking for a warm, grounded space to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. My practice is especially supportive for high-achieving professionals, graduate students, creatives, and those navigating relationship patterns, burnout, perfectionism, or major life transitions. ”
