Bay Psychology Group was founded in Jan 2018 after a decade of planning and preparation. It is based on the three core ideas: (1) if you have insurance you should be able to use it, (2) team approaches to mental health care work better than piecemeal treatments, and (3) psychodynamic/psychoanalytic therapy has the best evidence for long-term change. Here's what we offer:
Couples therapy is designed to help partners navigate the complexities of their relationship. Whether you are seeking pre-marital counseling, working through parenting challenges, exploring your love languages, dealing with intimacy issues, or considering divorce, our experienced therapists are here to support you.
Our expert clinicians guide you through a deep exploration of self, uncovering and addressing unconscious patterns for profound personal growth.
Child and family therapy from a psychodynamic perspective focuses on understanding and addressing the deep-rooted emotional and relational dynamics within the family to foster healthier, more supportive interactions.
We get teens. Changing bodies, new social challenges, and increased independence can make adolescence a hard time. When these challenges lead to mental health issues, we can help.
