Hi! I’m Reina and I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’m also a Bay Area native, an unapologetic cat lover, a self proclaimed expert of silly reality tv shows, and mom to a sweet, silly little 5 year old.
I work with awesome, fierce women at various stages of motherhood who look like they have it all together on the outside but internally feel like they're consumed with spinning thoughts and worry they're doing it all wrong.
Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, low motivation and self-esteem, relationship issues, or simply just feeling stuck in life? Maybe you don't know how to describe how you're feeling yet. Together we can find the spark to make the changes you desire, get you feeling like yourself again, or figure out who you truly are.
Healing happens in relationships, and I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach, focusing on the whole family system. When one person struggles, it affects everyone. My approach is collaborative, relational, and strengths-based, prioritizing a safe space, unconditional positive regard, and a strong therapeutic alliance. I work with toddlers, children, adolescents, adults, parents, couples, and families. I help families navigate emotional and behavioral challenges and individuals seeking growth, connection, and healing.
I treat ADHD, OCD, Anxiety & Depression, Emotional Dysregulation & Adjustment Issues. I offer Child-Centered Play Therapy, Filial Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy for Goal-Oriented Change, Parent Support, & Family Therapy.
Every child deserves to feel seen, every parent deserves support, and every person deserves a space of hope and growth. Let’s work together to create lasting change.
I am Dr. Singh, a clinician with an MD background, specializing in mental health, committed to providing evidence-based care that supports individuals in achieving their wellness goals and improving overall functioning.
Are you anxious, troubled, stuck, weighed down? I believe that you have the inner strength and power to live your best life. But it is hard to be hopeful when you feel trapped by old patterns. That’s where our work together begins. I believe that therapy is a collaborative and creative process. My goal is to help you feel better in the present, while finding deeper insight and lasting change for the future. My style is warm, supportive, interactive, and sometimes humorous. I will adapt our work to meet your unique needs and goals. I believe that the relationship we build in therapy is the foundation for healing and change.

I have experience working with Transgender individuals, those in current or former relationships where intimate partner violence is present, foster and adopted youth, and Spanish speaking political and economic refugees and immigrants.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Berkeley, CA
Searching for therapists in Berkeley starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience fits your needs. Berkeley therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and training match what you want to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Berkeley, local office availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. Some people prefer therapy in person near them, especially if an office is close to Downtown Berkeley, North Berkeley, or the Berkeley Hills. Others may choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment times, whether they are accepting new patients, consultation options, and how they describe their communication style.
Therapy in Berkeley can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and compare profiles in one place. You can browse Berkeley therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
