My name is Jaskirn Johal-Dhillon, and I am a bilingual mental health therapist who speaks both English and Punjabi. I received my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Fresno. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, attachment challenges in adulthood, and those seeking inner child healing. My work is grounded in the belief that early childhood experiences shape our internal blueprint, yet with increased self-awareness and compassionate therapeutic support, those patterns can be understood, healed, and transformed. I am passionate about working with people from diverse backgrounds and helping them reconnect with their authentic selves so they can lead the life they choose to live.
Hello, I’m Charles, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to helping adults build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I work with individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in trauma-informed care. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your experiences, gain insight into patterns that may be holding you back, and develop the tools needed to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.
I am a caring and compassionate person who genuinely wants to help others. I

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Oakland
Finding family therapists in Oakland starts with understanding what your family wants help working through. Family therapy may support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns across generations, or major life changes. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists for family issues, look for listed experience with family counseling services, counseling for family conflict, or therapy for family problems that match your specific needs.
In Oakland, the right fit may depend on location, schedule, and who needs to attend each session. Some families prefer in-person therapy in Oakland near work, school, or home, while others use virtual sessions to make scheduling easier across multiple calendars. Session structure can vary — some meetings may include the full family, while others may focus on parents, siblings, caregivers, or individual family members. Before booking, read therapist bios to see how each therapist describes their approach, session format, availability, and experience with counseling family problems.
Family therapy in Oakland can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search Oakland therapists who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person options, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can review bios, check availability, 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.
