I specialize in supporting people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, trauma, life transitions and much more. I have extensive experience working with high acuity teens, and I also work with adults of all ages who are navigating imbalance, self-acceptance uncertainty, or emotional overload. I support parents who need guidance in understanding their child’s needs or simply a calm place to process their own feelings. No matter your age or background, if you are struggling to find balance and peace in life, I am here to help.
My approach begins with the belief that life poses great challenges for all of us. Through these challenges, we develop adaptive patterns that may help us survive but can also bring disharmony. I aim to help you bring awareness to these patterns, loosen their grip, and reshape them so you can find greater balance and harmony in your relationship with yourself, others, and the world.
I am a compassionate and experienced therapist dedicated to helping you heal and reclaim your life. I have over 20 years of experience treating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and stress related to major life transitions. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe in providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can process difficult experiences at your own pace. I am passionate about helping you find hope, healing, and renewed purpose in your life.
For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals untangle the weight of trauma, stress, and life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whether you’re feeling on edge, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can be a place to finally exhale.
Hello. My name is Ana and I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (128445), in the beautiful state of California. I have been in the counseling and social work field for 25+ yrs. Simply stated, I was born to do therapy, it is a gift and an honor. I am a safe, trusting and caring person, that is able to connect with a diversity of people. I have worked with children, teens, elderly, foster care, gang members and most recently, death row inmates in prison.
I have found, through many of those experiences that emotional pain, feeling alone and experiencing anxiety or depression, is common even amongst many variables. I know that the desire to live a deeper, peaceful and meaningful life can also be a motivating and driving force. I too have done much of that internal work and reflection in my life. I have learned that it is OK to be just me without pressure, more compassion and living the authentic life I deserve. I would love the same for you.

I believe people carry far more strength, clarity, and resilience than they often realize. My role is to help you understand the emotional patterns and internal narratives that shape your experience, so you can move through life with greater freedom and self‐trust. I’m engaged, attuned, and honest in the room — offering reflection, insight, and steady collaboration as we explore what’s happening beneath the surface. We work at a pace that feels grounded for you, creating space for real change to germinate.
I’m Antionette Sob, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to empowering individuals to live fuller, more balanced lives. With over a decade of nursing experience and advanced training in mental health, I aim to provide safe, supportive, and compassionate care. I believe that everyone can heal and grow — sometimes we need the right tools and guidance.
I'm Tene Rodgers, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience in mental health and social services. I made the decision to become fully licensed five years ago because I wanted to go deeper in the work I've always cared about, and I haven't looked back since. I'm a Black woman, and that lived perspective shapes how I show up in the room. I offer culturally affirming care to adults, teens, and families, with a particular focus on trauma, grief, women's issues, relationship dynamics, and substance use.
If you have been carrying stress, anxiety, or the weight of life's challenges for a long time, you may have wondered whether things can actually change. I believe they can.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in California with over 30 years of clinical experience working with adults, families, and communities. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and I welcome clients from all cultural backgrounds. My work spans a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, trauma, and substance use recovery.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Alameda
Searching for therapists in Alameda starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare Alameda therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy, and what sessions may be like.
Alameda is a smaller city within the East Bay, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in nearby larger markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still keeping care connected to California-licensed therapists. When comparing therapy in Alameda, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also help you learn how a therapist communicates, who they typically work with, and how they structure care.
Therapy in Alameda can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for Alameda therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
