Pacifica, California therapist: Maureen Backman, marriage and family therapist
Existential/Humanistic

Maureen Backman

Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MS
I’m a therapist because I believe in the healing strength of being with: Being with our feelings, our present moment experience, and each other. So often, we walk through life feeling alone and disconnected. Therapy is a place for you to unfold and expand into a life that feels more authentic and spacious, a place for you to experience connection and transformation. Clients who work with me often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and creative. In addition to what you might think of when hear the words “talk therapy,” I also incorporate art, movement, and mindfulness into our sessions. I view my clients and myself as co-collaborators in the therapy process, and work with you to create a space that feels supportive and safe. I take a non-pathologizing approach, honoring the strategies that got you to this moment, and supporting you as you unfold into your authentic self.

I firmly believe that having an unwavering belief in the capacity of humans to make their lives better is an important foundation of the work that I do. It is not always easy, but with the right support, and the right tools, people can make sense of their problems, and make the changes they need to build a life more in line with how they want to live.

San Francisco, California therapist: Barton Shulman, licensed professional counselor
Existential/Humanistic

Barton Shulman

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC (multiple states), CCMHC, BC-TMH
People come to me because they're navigating difficulties with life changes, depression, anxiety—any of a million ways that distress manifests itself in our lives. If I had to say I have a specialty, it's seeing you for the unique person that you are, and meeting you where you are in your struggle. I work with my clients to help discover what issues are causing difficulty or suffering and then to identify the strengths that people have inside of them to help address those challenges. I see my work as walking a path with you. It’s not my job to tell you which path to take or point you to a different path. My job is to walk alongside of you and point out some of the things you're not noticing. I accompany you down your path instead of telling you where to go. It's really common for people to think nobody sees them—nobody gets them—and that's my work. To set a safe place for you to be fully you, and to have somebody who sees you. Sees your doubts, your fears, all the things that you feel are flaws, and accepts you for all of that. I truly believe that at our core we're all trying to grow toward our truest self, and my job isn't to tell you what that true self is. It's really to just provide you a space to grow into that, and get out of your way, and support you and help you do it.

Santa Monica, California therapist: Nicole Bermensolo, marriage and family therapist
Existential/Humanistic

Nicole Bermensolo

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
The therapeutic process has the ability to transform. I am living proof of this. At my lowest point, I was anxious, depressed, suicidal, and trapped in an addiction to alcohol and Adderall. With the help of a skilled therapist, I was able to come out of this darkness - inspiring me to leave a successful business in order to help others who are suffering. I believe that everyone deserves a fighting chance to overcome trauma and abuse and live a rich, full, and satisfying life. I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I believe we are all deserving of unconditional love. I hold the hope for my clients when they are drowning in hopelessness. I approach my life and my work through a feminist, anti-oppression, anti-racist, and body-positive perspective. I am passionate about animal rescue and shelter pets. If any of this resonates with you, please shoot me a message and let's find a time to connect.

San Francisco, California therapist: Mitsue Nakagaki Karaman, marriage and family therapist
Existential/Humanistic

Mitsue Nakagaki Karaman

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
We all have moments in our lives when we need a little support. The most ambitious of us can get burnt out and even the most loving relationships can encounter bumpy roads. If you are here, you may be in that moment now -- feeling stuck or overwhelmed in some way. Perhaps you’re facing a difficult challenge or transition and need immediate support, or there is something you have carried for a long time that you’re ready to face. I offer the space to slow down, take a breath and explore what’s going on. We are all different, so my approach is collaborative and guided by how you experience the world.

San Francisco, California therapist: Carine France, licensed psychoanalyst
Existential/Humanistic

Carine France

Licensed Psychoanalyst, MFT
Hello, I have been working as a psychotherapist in private practice for 18 years. In my work, my goal is to provide a vital space where you can regain an authentic connection with yourself and learn to move toward a natural state of psychological balance and wholeness . By paying attention in a holistic way to your thoughts, feelings, physical symptoms, and dreams, I strive to bring both your mind and body into a place of integration and harmony. I work with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, eating disorders, chronic pain, substance abuse, creativity, relationship issues, job stress, grief and loss, and offer both long and short-term therapy. I strive to practice with depth, imagination, and integrity and use many different treatment modalities to get to the core of what is causing suffering or stuckness and help facilitate renewal and positive forward movement. My main clinical approach is the Jungian model which seeks to support the unfolding of the individual by working very relationally and in depth with symbolic material, the unconscious, and values the person’s own inner resources.
