Therapy and Counseling
to Help You Move Through Life’s Toughest Moments
…and Rediscover Freedom, Joy and Inner Peace
Hello, I’m Anita.
I’m a relational, integrative therapist based in Orinda, CA, offering East Bay therapy services for adults and teens who are ready to explore what’s beneath the surface and begin the process of healing.
Life’s hardest moments can leave you feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated, or uncertain about who you are. Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition, grieving a loss, or simply feeling worn down by the weight of it all. You might find yourself caught in patterns of self-doubt, perfectionism, or a relentless inner critic; quiet struggles that make it hard to feel present, connected, or fully yourself.
You move through the day as if everything’s fine, but deep down, something feels off. Maybe anxiety hums constantly in the background, or depression has dulled your sense of joy and connection. Perhaps you’re feeling the strain of a relationship, or you're adjusting to changes that have left you feeling off balance.
Whatever you’re carrying - it matters, and you don’t have to hold it all by yourself.
At Bountiful Health, we offer compassionate, grounded, and deeply attuned mental health services - because real change begins when you feel safe enough to show up just as you are.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or navigating a life transition, our East Bay therapy services provide a supportive space to reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater clarity, ease, and self-trust.
When Life Is All Just… Too Much
You’ve been holding it together for a while. Yes, you’re functioning, but inside, something feels off. Maybe you feel anxious, drained, disconnected, or unsure of who you are right now. Old wounds might resurface, or life changes have left you feeling unsteady. You’ve gotten through by pushing forward, but even that feels heavy now.
Breakups, career changes, moves, and loss, even changes you chose, can stir up anxiety, grief, and a sense of disorientation. In the midst of transition, you may feel emotionally vulnerable and quietly ask yourself: Who am I now? What truly matters to me? Therapy offers a supportive space to make sense of what you’ve been through and gently reconnect with the person you’re becoming.
I’m Facing a Big Change, and I Feel Lost
My Life “Should” Be Fine — So Why Do I Feel So Sad, Numb, and Disconnected?
You feel numb or distant, even when nothing seems “wrong.” You go through the motions, but inside, it’s like you’re fading. Life feels muted, and you miss feeling like yourself. Maybe you quietly wonder, “Why do I feel this way?”—as if something’s off but hard to name. When sadness, guilt, or the same painful patterns keep showing up, it’s no wonder you feel worn down. Depression therapy can help you reconnect.
My Mind Races, My Body Tenses and I’m Always
On Edge
You overthink, replay conversations, and worry you’ve said or done something wrong. Your body tenses. Your mind races. You try to stay in control, but it all feels like too much. Even when life looks “normal,” you’re tightly wound inside. You’re anxious, tired, and constantly questioning your worth. Anxiety therapy can help.
Who Am I, Really? Rediscovering the Self I’ve Lost
You long to feel truly seen—but letting people in hasn’t always felt safe. Maybe you’ve spent so long adapting, pleasing, or performing that you’re no longer sure who you really are. You hold back parts of yourself to avoid conflict or rejection, and somewhere along the way, you lost touch with your own needs, desires, and identity. Over time, self-doubt, a harsh inner critic, or the quiet belief that you’re never “enough” can wear down your confidence. Therapy offers a space to untangle all of that—to reconnect with yourself and begin rebuilding a sense of self that feels grounded, authentic, and whole.
I’m Still Carrying Pain from the Past and I Want
to Let It Go
Some wounds don’t just fade with time. Maybe you’ve learned to keep going, to function, to hold it all together—but inside, you’re still carrying the weight of what you went through. You might not talk about it, but the impact lingers: in your relationships, your body, your self-worth. You’re tired of the old patterns, the shame, the emotional numbness. You want to let it go—but not by pretending it didn’t happen. Therapy offers a space to face that pain gently, at your pace, and begin healing in a way that feels safe, supported, and real.
Something inside you knows you can’t keep going like this. Maybe you’re not sure what healing looks like yet, but you’re craving relief, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself. You’re tired of carrying it all alone. Therapy can offer a place to feel seen, supported, and begin the work of healing at your own pace.
If you’re here, something in you is already reaching for more…that’s a powerful place to start.
Are you ready for something different?
It’s time to put yourself first. You don’t have to do this alone.

Why People Come to Therapy
People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes it’s a big life change—a breakup, a loss, a shift in identity—that brings everything to the surface. Other times, it’s the quiet, persistent feeling that something just isn’t right. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who you are anymore. Maybe you’ve been carrying pain from the past or patterns you’re ready to break. Whatever brings you here, therapy offers a steady space to explore what’s underneath the surface, shift painful patterns, and reconnect with yourself, with what matters, and with a greater sense of calm and direction.
Recognizing your desire for change is courageous.
We believe you have the strength and ability to make that change happen.
-
Trauma-informed therapy is an approach that understands how past trauma, whether big or subtle, can shape the way you think, feel, and relate to others. It emphasizes emotional safety, trust, and collaboration, and recognizes that healing happens best when you feel supported and in control of the process. A trauma-informed therapist works at your pace, helps you feel grounded, and gently explores what’s beneath the surface without re-traumatizing or rushing you.
-
Relational therapy is a form of talk therapy that places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the healing process. It’s based on the idea that our early relationships shape how we understand ourselves and connect with others—and that many emotional struggles stem from disruptions or wounds in these connections.
In relational therapy, the therapist is not a distant expert, but an engaged, attuned presence. The relationship you build with your therapist becomes a powerful tool for healing - one that offers space to safely explore vulnerability, trust, boundaries, and emotional connection in real time.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms or coping strategies, relational therapy helps you make sense of the deeper patterns that influence how you think, feel, and relate to the world. As you explore these dynamics together, you begin to experience new ways of being in relationship, with others, and most importantly, with yourself.
This approach is especially supportive for those navigating issues like low self-worth, trauma, perfectionism, relationship struggles, or a sense of disconnection. Through consistent, compassionate connection, relational therapy offers the opportunity to rewrite internal narratives, restore emotional safety, and support lasting change.
-
Integrative therapy is a flexible, personalized approach that draws from multiple evidence-based methods, like psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, attachment-based, and mindfulness practices. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, it tailors the work to your unique personality, needs, and goals.
This approach allows your therapist to adapt over time, meeting you where you are emotionally, exploring deeper patterns when you’re ready, and incorporating practical tools to support real-life change. It’s especially helpful for clients navigating complex challenges like trauma, self-worth struggles, or life transitions, because it honors both depth and adaptability.
-
Relational integrative therapy combines the depth and healing power of a strong therapeutic relationship with a flexible, personalized approach to care. It draws from a range of evidence-based modalities, such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, attachment theory, and mindfulness, to meet your unique emotional needs and goals.
At its core, relational integrative therapy is grounded in the belief that healing happens in the context of safe, attuned relationships. The therapy process is deeply collaborative: we’ll explore your patterns, relationships, and inner experiences together, using the therapist-client relationship as a foundation for insight and growth.
This approach is especially helpful for people navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, self-worth challenges, or life transitions, because it honors both your story and your strengths. As your needs evolve, the work adapts with you, supporting meaningful, lasting change in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.
-
Depth therapy is a type of therapy that helps you explore the deeper roots of what you're feeling, not just the symptoms on the surface. Instead of focusing only on quick fixes, we look at patterns, past experiences, and how your inner world may be shaping how you feel today.
In our work, we integrate depth therapy by creating a safe, supportive space where we can go at your pace. Together, we’ll gently explore what’s underneath anxiety, low self-esteem, or stuckness, so you can better understand yourself, heal old wounds, and make lasting change.
