Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in San Mateo, CA

Hello! I’m Shelby Stewart a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 15 years of experience in the Mental Health field since my undergrad years at Chico State. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco and specialize in anxiety, trauma, and depression.

I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals and creating meaningful connections through a collaborative approach. I pride myself on building solid rapport with clients, ensuring a safe and inclusive space where all voices are heard and valued. I am grounded in being open-minded, warm, and empowering, allowing clients to feel supported and understood as they navigate their journeys. I prioritize your goals and needs, making sure you feel heard and understood. Whether you’re facing challenges in your personal life or seeking personal growth, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and respect.

I'm Setareh Sassani, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 151973), providing individual therapy in California via telehealth. I specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, communication, and life transitions, helping clients build healthier relationships and live more fulfilling lives.

Hello! I’m Nora Vue, a committed dual-licensed Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I earned my PMHNP certification from the University of California, Davis. With over a decade of experience in healthcare, I am deeply passionate about promoting mental well-being, which I consider just as important as physical health. My areas of expertise include the treatment of anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, and substance use disorders.

I earned my master's degree in Social Work 29 years ago. Over the course of my career I have enjoyed working with girls and women of all ages. I enjoy supporting girls and women who are navigating middle school, high school, college, relationships, post-partum period, motherhood, divorce, menopause, and becoming empty nesters. I love seeing my clients begin therapy with stress, anxiety, OCD, depression, grief and loss, or trauma then graduate from therapy in a much better place. I believe that you can thrive no matter your age and no matter your circumstances. I have less experience helping transgender women but I really enjoy that work as well. I consider myself a LGBTQIA+ ally.

With more than 15 years in clinical practice as a psychologist, I have partnered with individuals and families experiencing significant change and hardships.

I provide a compassionate, client-centered approach tailored to your goals, values, and culture. During our first session, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and begin building a supportive therapeutic relationship. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and EFT tapping, to help you manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, ADHD, and life transitions while building resilience and emotional well-being.

Take the first step toward healing. Therapy is a journey toward healing, resilience, and growth.

You can look like you have it all together — and still feel like you're falling apart inside. I know, because I’ve been there.

I help women who are ages 20-50 navigate life changes, improve healthy coping, gain clarity, and feel emotionally lighter. My clients report feeling "lighter" after sessions, more clarity on their next steps, less irritability with others, and improved relationships.

I’m Catherine Moore, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, international speaker, author, podcaster, and therapist. For over 15 years, I’ve supported women through anxiety, burnout, grief, trauma, and the high-stakes demands of everyday life.

I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach, and have worked in everything from fast-paced hospitals to deeply personal private practice.

But beyond the credentials, I’m also a burnout survivor.

I know the relentless pressure of being everything for everyone — mother, daughter, friend, professional. I’ve lost close family members. I’ve walked through trauma. And I know what it’s like to smile on the outside while feeling lost on the inside. It’s what drives my work and what makes this space safe, grounded, and judgment-free.

If you’re ready to stop drowning in life and start living with clarity, peace, and purpose — I’m here. You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore. Schedule a no-obligation consultation with me to see if we are a good fit for your goals.
