Hello and welcome! I’m a licensed therapist located in the Bay Area and provide therapy to anyone located in California. In my practice, I work to support individuals struggling with anxiety, challenges in relationships, feeling connected to themselves or others, body image, finding peace and healing around relationship with food, and those feeling stuck in the same patterns to learn skills and feel secure in their lives.

I am Dr. Audrey Levy. I live on a cruising boat, and my private practice hours are available 24/7 by appointment only. I am experienced in helping my clients deal with issues such as Loss and Grief Recovery, Substance Abuse, Anger Management, Crisis Counseling, Stress Reduction, Depression and Anxiety. I provide an empathetic, and nurturing environment where you will feel heard, and most importantly, understood. Together we will work on ways to help you understand your feelings and compulsions.

You’re the one everyone relies on. You get things done, show up, and keep it together—but lately, it feels like too much. Your mind won’t slow down, you’re constantly overthinking, and even when you “rest,” you don’t actually feel better.

From the outside, you look like you have it all together. Inside, you’re exhausted.

I work with high-achieving women who are tired of carrying everything on their own. Whether it’s anxiety, burnout, or feeling disconnected from yourself, we’ll work together to help you feel grounded, clear, and back in control of your life.

I have completed Phase 1 Brainspotting training through Pacific Trauma Center and may integrate Brainspotting into sessions for clients interested in exploring a deeper brain-body approach to healing.

Hi! I’m Jennifer Barrios, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with a master’s degree from USC and nearly a decade of experience in mental health. My journey began in community mental health, where I provided support to individuals and families facing complex challenges. Now, I’ve transitioned into full-time private practice, where I continue my passion for helping others heal and grow.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel totally seen and heard while working through life’s ups and downs. Whether you're dealing with anxiety (like constant worry or panic attacks), feeling stuck, struggling with self-esteem, working through past trauma, or facing depression (like feeling low energy or withdrawing from others), I’m here to help you reconnect with the real you. My approach is super chill and personalized because I know healing looks different for everyone.
