Testimonials

Melinda has helped me finally get to the heart of the matter after all these years of trying multiple therapists. She is direct, clear and gives practical strategies. Nothing in my past surprised or horrified her. She always saw the best in me and gave me hope.
-- Single female, 40, Sunnyvale

Melinda has helped me understand how my anxiety and depression can be managed successfully. She has given me tools to manage my thinking and to stop beating myself up. I feel alive again.
-- Single female, 25, Saratoga

With Melinda I get the truth, and I get hands on practical ways to change my thinking. I have healed tremendously though her patience and compassion, but also through her persistence in challenging me to believe in myself.
-- Male, 23, Scotts Valley
Support/Skills Groups

Support Groups
  • Boundaries:

    Are you in control in your life? Do people take advantage of you? Do you have trouble saying no?

    If you are like many of us, you focus so much on being loving and giving that you forget your own limitations. Have you ever found yourself wondering:
    • Can I set limits and still be a loving person?
    • How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy or money?
    • Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries?
    This group is facilitated as one part education and skills training and one part process group. You'll learn the answers to these tough questions. You'll learn how to set healthy boundaries with your parents, spouse, children, friends, coworkers, and even yourself.

    Boundaries are personal property lines that define who you are and who you are not, and influence all areas of your life. Much like physical boundaries help you determine who may touch you and under what circumstances, mental boundaries give you the freedom to have your own thoughts and opinions.
