Our Approach
Boutique East Bay Therapy in Orinda, CA
Effective therapy to help you create lasting change.
Compassionate. Relational. Non-Judgmental.
You may feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure of who you are — and you’re not alone.
Some days, it might be hard to get out of bed, stay present, or find meaning in the life you’re living. You might move through your days on autopilot, weighed down by self-doubt, shame, or an inner critic that never seems to rest.
At Bountiful Health, therapy offers a space to slow down, reconnect with your true self, and gently explore what’s been holding you back.
A Space Where All of You is Welcome
Therapy with us is a space where you don’t have to hold it all together, or pretend things are fine when they’re not. Whether you’re carrying sadness, overwhelm, confusion, or emptiness, all of you is welcome here.
Our approach is relational and integrative, shaped by your unique story and emotional needs, not by a formula. Together, we’ll explore what lies beneath the surface: the old wounds, protective patterns, and inner conflicts that may be keeping you stuck.
This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level coping. It’s about reconnecting with yourself and creating changes that last.
Why the Relationship Matters
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation — it begins in the safety of being understood.
We believe healing happens in connection. The therapeutic relationship itself is part of what restores balance, a space where you can feel safe enough to be seen, supported, and fully yourself.
As trust builds, new possibilities emerge: clarity, self-compassion, self-trust, and a deeper sense of meaning.
Therapy becomes not just a place to understand your pain, but to rediscover your strength and capacity for connection.
Boutique Care at Bountiful Health
At Bountiful Health, therapy is never one-size-fits-all.
By maintaining a small, intentionally limited caseload, we’re able to give each client the time, care, and presence they deserve.
This boutique style of therapy means your experience is personal, private, and thoughtfully attuned. Sessions move at your pace, supported by flexible scheduling, timely communication, and genuine continuity of care.
You’re not just another name on a calendar. Your story matters here, and your growth is met with the attention and respect it deserves.
As a boutique East Bay therapy practice in Orinda, CA, we offer a warm, relational space for adults seeking meaningful, lasting change and a deeper sense of connection within themselves and their lives.
Therapeutic Modalities, made simple
Therapy terms can sometimes sound like jargon, but at their heart, they’re simply ways of supporting your growth and understanding your story.
At Bountiful Health, we tailor each session to meet your needs in the moment. Our work is guided by a relational, integrative framework, meaning therapy is always collaborative, responsive, and centered around you. Every tool and method is chosen thoughtfully to help you feel seen, understood, and supported in your process of healing and change.
You don’t need to know the terminology; our work together always starts with where you are. As we go, we may draw from a range of approaches to support your growth and understanding:
-
Relational-Integrative Therapy blends different therapy approaches to best fit your unique needs, with a strong focus on the healing power of a safe, trusting therapist-client relationship. This approach supports personal growth through collaboration, emotional attunement, and flexibility.
-
Trauma-Informed Therapy recognizes the impact of past trauma and prioritizes emotional safety, trust, and empowerment. This approach helps you process painful experiences at a pace that feels right for you, reducing their hold on your present life and supporting long-term healing.
-
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early caregiver relationships influence your ability to feel safe, trust, and connect. This approach helps you heal old attachment wounds, build healthier relationship patterns, and feel more secure and connected in your life today.
-
Depth therapy goes beyond surface symptoms to explore the root causes of emotional pain, self-doubt, and disconnection.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By increasing insight and self-awareness, you can break unhelpful cycles, understand yourself more deeply, and make choices that alignn with your needs and values. -
This approach emphasizes the co-created relationship between us. Healing grows through empathy, presence, and the unique dynamic we build together.
-
This supports your search for meaning, freedom, and purpose. It honors your innate capacity for growth and helps you connect with what truly matters in your life.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you identify and change unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. By practicing new ways of thinking and responding, you can manage challenges more effectively and create lasting change.
-
Mindfulness-Based Therapy teaches you to notice your thoughts, feelings, and body sensations in the present moment without judgment. This awareness helps you respond to life’s challenges with calm, clarity, and self-compassion, reducing stress and improving emotional well-being.
Together, these approaches create a therapy experience that is relational, integrative, and deeply attuned, giving you both the space to explore and the tools to create meaningful, lasting change.
