I am so glad Loyal Blue has a presence in Lafayette in addition to Berkeley now! This is the type of counseling practice I WISH I had found when I was growing up here in Lamorinda.
Loyal Blue has a therapist for everyone, whether you or a loved one is searching for support with anxiety, depression, OCD, or even insomnia!! They really care about their clients and create plans to help you not only where you are today, but to also give you tools and strategies to carry with you past therapy.

I’m a teacher in the Bay Area, and more and more each year I see students struggling with anxiety, depression, and lacking in self-confidence. Loyal Blue Counseling has been an invaluable resource for families who have loved ones struggling with mental health issues. I know each counselor at Loyal Blue is experienced and dedicated to their clients, but what really sets them apart is how down-to-earth they are. Even their monthly newsletter has really interesting content that is not too laden with therapy jargon, but actually offers me insights and tips that help me cope with the crazy pace of life here. Loyal Blue is an amazing practice- highly recommend!
