Why Novato clients choose our Petaluma office
Clients throughout Novato often seek neurofeedback and biofeedback for practical, drug-free support with concentration, emotional regulation, anxiety, trauma symptoms, sleep, or recovery from concussion and brain injury. By training the brain and the body's physiological responses, treatment encourages healthier nervous-system functioning while building confidence and resilience in everyday life.
Somatic therapy complements neurofeedback by addressing how stress and trauma are held in the body. Together, these mind-body approaches support healing from chronic stress, PTSD, panic, and emotional overwhelm while improving overall well-being. Integrative depth psychotherapy offers a supportive space to explore and heal the unconscious patterns and unresolved experiences that drive symptoms — and to support lasting behavioral change.
In-person appointments are available at 7 Fourth Street in Petaluma — offering Novato clients access to neurofeedback and biofeedback training, somatic therapies, relational psychodynamic, and integrative cognitive behavioral therapies. Novato clients travel north to Petaluma for help with anxiety, trauma, depression, panic, and more, with a seasoned clinician offering a range of services.
