Hi, I'm Mark.

I work with adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, and relationships.

If you feel overwhelmed by emotions, we can face these challenges together with a good plan and the right tools. I have a lot of experience working with neurodiversity, anxiety, and self-harm.

Therapy can expand and strengthen your network of support, especially during difficult times. Reach out today--I'd love to answer any questions and share more.

Erik Kahn

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • Oakland, CA


I’m a licensed therapist trained in somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I work with individuals, couples, and men, supporting clients with anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I also help people navigating loneliness, work-related stress, and cultural or identity-related experiences, including multiracial relationships. My goal is to help people better understand themselves, their patterns, and how they relate to others. I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, while also being direct when it’s helpful.

Are you tired of feeling stuck in the same cycles of anxiety, depression, or conflict that keep you from feeling truly present in your life? I help individuals and couples who are ready for change—whether you're navigating mood disorders, relationship struggles, or intense family issues. With a strong background in anger management and addressing complex topics like sexual disorders, I offer a safe, confidential space to work through challenges. As a parent and a grandmother, and having served as a child custody mediator, I bring a wealth of real-world experience to issues like co-parenting and visitation planning. I also specialize in empowering women who are survivors of domestic violence, helping you move from a place of survival to one of strength and stability. Let's work together to create the sustainable change you deserve.

Something about this moment — whether you're exhausted from anxiety that won't quit, burned out from giving everything to everyone else, or standing at a crossroads you didn't ask for — brought you here. I want you to know: reaching out is the hard part, and you've already done it. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and life transitions — including women managing the particular weight of new motherhood, shifting identity, or carrying experiences that haven't had room to breathe yet. My clinical background includes high-acuity settings, which means I've learned to show up calm and focused when things feel anything but. I accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Carelon, and several other major insurance plans, and I offer virtual sessions that fit around your real life. I'm not here to hand you a worksheet and call it a day. I'm here to actually help you move.

Dr. Vianney Luis Quero

Psychologist

Virtual • California


As someone who immigrated to the United States, I understand that change often asks us to redefine parts of ourselves while discovering strengths we did not know we had. That experience has deepened my appreciation for resilience, identity, and the many ways people grow throughout their lives.

I am a licensed psychologist with advanced fellowship training in Behavioral Sleep Medicine at Stanford University. I work with adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, insomnia, trauma-related difficulties, chronic pain, and life transitions, and I provide therapy in both English and Spanish.
