Oakland Psychotherapy | Deb Lyman, LCSW

Are you seeking more satisfaction in your life and relationships?
Perhaps you are struggling to find or deepen a relationship.

Maybe you tend to lose yourself in relationships, or are in a relationship and feel ambivalent about it.

Perhaps there is a particularly difficult person in your life and your interactions with them are causing you a lot of pain.

Or maybe your relationship with yourself is feeling pretty unfriendly.
I work with individuals and couples of all genders and orientations who:
Are highly successful in many areas of life, yet feel anxious, overwhelmed, and self-critical (imposter syndrome)
Take excellent care of others, but don't often know what they need or want
Have often felt like they didn’t quite fit in and struggled to be themselves
Have been recently rocked by a sudden loss, unexpected failure, or significant betrayal
Find themselves at turning or breaking points in their relationships
I know how hard it can be to reach out for help when you may be used to handling things on your own. I also deeply know that therapy can help you:
Become more effective in dealing with the difficult people in your life
Feel more resilient, confident, and capable of enjoying the richness of your life
Get closer and more connected to your partner without losing yourself
Tame your inner critic and nurture a more compassionate inner dialogue.
Feel more comfortable being who you are living the fullest life possible
Deeply understand your inner experience and respond to it with care
I invite you to call me at (510) 594-4099 or email to set up a time to talk and see if we might be a good fit to work together.
