Trusted Therapy For All Ages: Our Counselors In Berkeley and Lafayette
Counseling with Loyal Blue is a friendly and personalized experience, using evidence-based methods tailored to your goals. Each therapist works in person, at our Lafayette, CA and Berkeley, CA offices — as well as by telehealth across California.
You want someone who is practical, supportive, and helpful with the chapter of life you are in. We can relate. We develop lasting relationships with our clients and have years of experience to show that our solution-focused approach works.
We are a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) practice, which is an empirically validated treatment approach. CBT is the gold standard for treatment of depression, anxiety, insomnia and the OCD/perfectionism spectrum. We are passionate about practical skills and personal insight that can improve quality of life.
Our advanced training in other research-based therapy includes Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). It is our mission to provide mental health services that are effective and applicable in the real world.
Our hardworking team is kind, down-to-earth, and committed to reaching your goals.
What you learn in session will last beyond the end of therapy!
