What if you knew your greatest pain was also your greatest teacher? Find love on the other side of loss...
Loss is perhaps the most universal human experience, yet it can feel extremely isolating (adding to the suffering). I am a spiritual depth psychotherapist who holds a sacred container for individual adults to move through grief in all its v
I appreciate helping individuals and couples that just want to live better lives, have deeper relationships, and find more joy in day to day living. Life can be tough. Good therapy offers support, a place to be heard, guidance, and sometimes a place to hear truths that you may not want to hear, but need to hear. I offer a supportive and direct appr
I work somatically with teens, families, couples, and individuals to overcome the effects of trauma. Are you or your loved ones confused or frustrated by what you do? Often, this confusion results from trauma, but we are not aware of its effects on our nervous systems, which continue to respond as if we are still in the past. By learning how our b

Often the folks who walk into my office are extremely bright and appear pulled together.
Their internal sense of self is much different than appearances, though. In their body, they might feel like a big head floating around, or like a shell, or weighted down in a suffocating way. All while attempting to function. That's really hard to do!
I work with individuals across the life span using a relational, intersubjective and non-judgmental approach.

As relational trust deepens in a safe therapeutic environm
Life is more joyful and connected when we feel like other people understand us—and even more important--when we understand ourselves. I’m Michelle Cataldo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice in Oakland California. Therapy can be a powerful and healing way to discover and build on your strengths, and to identify patter
I collaborate with individuals and couples in building fulfilling relationships and developing self-understanding, confidence, and trust.
