Hi! I'm Olivia. I've been in therapy practice for six years, and am grateful for the opportunity to get to know you! As a queer and neurodivergent person, my career as a therapist has always moved in tandem with my commitment to social and economic justice. My work has taken me to settings with folks experiencing homelessness in South Los Angeles; with justice-involved adults in treatment court diversion programs in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood; in young adult shelters for art therapy groups; with low-income immigrant parents of young children; and with teens and young adults with significant trauma histories.
Through all my roles I always commit to centering community and individual strengths that help arm my clients with the tools necessary to repel various types of systemic violence and oppression. I believe that therapy is inherently political because being human is political.
Hello, I'm Dr. Judy C Kelly, PsyD, LMFT. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with over ten years of experience working with teens, adults and couples. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Southern California (USC), graduate studies at Argosy University and doctorate at California Southern University.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you're dealing with depression, relationship challenges, parenting stress, trauma, or grief. You don't have to navigate it alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel human—not rushed or impersonal.
I provide a non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and feel understood. My approach integrates thoughtful medication management with psychotherapy when appropriate, always tailored to your individual needs.
Diagnosis can be an important part of understanding your experience, but it’s only one piece of the picture. I look at your mental, physical, and emotional well-being, as well as the life experiences that shape what you’re going through.
I offer collaborative, grounded care to help you move toward a more balanced, integrative, and holistic sense of well-being.
My clients describe me as relatable, supportive, and easy to open up to. As a first-generation Latina and part of the same generation as many of my clients, I understand the unique pressures young adults face—from family expectations to finding your own path—and I’m here to help you navigate it all with empathy and real-world perspective.
I am a licensed therapy who works with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. I bring a thoughtful, compassionate approach to therapy and prioritize creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and human—not rushed or judgmental. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself while building insight and tools that support meaningful, lasting change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Alameda
Searching for therapists in Alameda starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare Alameda therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy, and what sessions may be like.
Alameda is a smaller city within the East Bay, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in nearby larger markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still keeping care connected to California-licensed therapists. When comparing therapy in Alameda, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also help you learn how a therapist communicates, who they typically work with, and how they structure care.
Therapy in Alameda can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for Alameda therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
