Counseling and Therapy for You!
Therapy is that unique place where you can talk openly. Your therapist works with you to understand what’s causing your struggles and helps you find ways to manage them. Together, you’ll explore your thoughts and feelings and learn tools that can bring about real, positive change. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, past trauma and/or relationship difficulties, therapy gives you a safe place to process emotions and find ways to move forward with more clarity and confidence.
Counseling is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Maybe everyday stress is taking a toll, or you’re facing something more significant, like trauma or a major life transition. It helps when you’re feeling lost, unsure of yourself, or just not like your usual self.
At Silicon Valley Therapy, we have a team of caring, experienced therapists ready to support you. You can feel confident knowing your sessions are private and handled by professionals who’ve helped countless others through similar struggles.

Approaches We Use In Therapy & Counseling Sessions
We know every person and relationship is different, which is why we offer a range of therapy approaches to fit your specific needs. Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, heal from past pain, or improve communication, we’re here to guide you with the right tools and support for your journey.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you identify and change negative thought patterns that influence your behavior and emotions. By focusing on practical strategies, it teaches you how to break the cycle of unhelpful thinking and create healthier habits for a more balanced life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness to help you manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and handle stress more effectively. It’s especially helpful for those who experience overwhelming emotions or difficulty regulating their reactions.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps you better understand and process your emotions to improve your relationships and emotional well-being. By exploring the core feelings that drive your reactions, EFT helps you strengthen your emotional connection to yourself and others.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy focuses on the mind-body connection, helping you process trauma and stress that’s stored in your body. By becoming more aware of physical sensations and using body-based techniques, you can release tension and improve emotional resilience.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness therapy teaches you how to stay present in the moment, reducing stress and anxiety. By focusing on awareness and acceptance, you learn how to respond to life’s challenges with greater calm and clarity.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS views the mind as made up of different “parts” or sub-personalities, each with its own thoughts and feelings. By working with these parts, IFS helps you resolve inner conflicts, heal past wounds, and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how your early relationships shape your emotional patterns and connections with others. By exploring these attachments, this approach helps you heal old wounds, build stronger bonds, and create healthier, more secure relationships.

Questions About Individual Therapy
How long does therapy take?
Therapy is a personal journey, and there’s no “one-size-fits-all” timeline. Some clients start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may continue therapy for several months to work through more complex issues. Your therapist will work with you to set goals and check in regularly to make sure you’re making progress.
What can I expect in my first therapy session?
In your first session, your therapist will spend time getting to know you, your concerns, and your goals for therapy. This is a safe space to talk openly, and there’s no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with. Together, you’ll create a plan that feels right for you.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, therapy is completely confidential. Everything you share with your therapist stays between you, except in rare situations where there may be a concern for safety. Your therapist will discuss confidentiality in more detail during your first session to ensure you feel comfortable.
How do I know if therapy is working?
Therapy is a process, and it can take time to notice changes. That said, many people start to feel improvements after a few sessions—like a sense of relief, better sleep, or more clarity around their emotions. Your therapist will help you track your progress and adjust your approach as needed.
What if I don’t feel comfortable with my therapist?
The therapist-client relationship is key to effective therapy. If, after a few sessions, you feel like the connection isn’t quite right, it’s important to speak up. Your therapist can help you explore what’s not working and, if necessary, suggest another therapist who might be a better fit.
