Dr William Selig

Licensed Psychologist

“The treatment I provide is active, warm, collaborative, and informed by my doctoral training & the existing research on what actually works.”

About Me

I offer a warm, active, and collaborative space where we work together to understand your challenges. My doctoral training and current research inform our work. This guides us in exploring strategies that truly make a difference. We focus on practical, evidence-based approaches, ensuring you gain effective tools for real-world change. This approach suits clients seeking grounded support and tangible progress in their well-being.

Approach

I move sessions from understanding patterns into hands-on skill building, using focused experiments and clear, collaborative feedback. In my Oakland office I meet with adults for paced sessions that mix targeted conversation, behavioral practice, and short between-session experiments to monitor mood and relationship patterns. We translate insights into concrete, skill-based strategies that reduce reactivity, shift unhelpful habits, and rebuild connection after hurt. People looking for practical, measurable change in daily life tend to find this way of working useful.
