I offer telehealth (video sessions) or in-person sessions in my home office in Castro Valley, CA. Telehealth clients must be physically located in California at the time of session. My theoretical orientation is Humanistic/Eclectic. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as DBT interventions when appropriate; typically for anxiety, depression, and addictions.
I am tool-oriented, and I can provide a variety of suggestions on workbooks, audio recordings, homework exercises, meditation techniques, and community resources. I also offer 12 step support which means I help people navigate 12 step programs if they are interested in joining them. Some of my clients come to me to deepen their existing 12 step recovery.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference.
I have made tremendous progress as a result of our work together. I am no longer engaging in the worst of my Inner Circle [sex addiction] behaviors. I am currently sober from drinking. I have deepened relationships with close friends and weeded out the ones who are bad influences on me. I have become so much nicer to myself and understand myself much better.
In some cases, psychotherapy can be tax deductible as a medical expense. Do you accept insurance? I am currently taking Lyra & Modern Health. I am an out-of-network provider for PPO plans for other insurance companies. That means I can give you a statement each month that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

I had the pleasure of working with Annia Raysberg in a professional capacity on several complicated cases. I am a criminal defense attorney, and rely on substance abuse experts like Annia to assist me with case review and preparation, understanding of my client's behavior, and preparation of a strong mitigation case for sentencing.
In all cases where I have retained Annia to do an assessment and prepare a report, she has done a truly outstanding job. I always felt that her focus was on getting a person who needed help the right resources to get that help, and never on padding her hours and/or

Annia is perceptive and insightful, and I love her warm and positive attitude! Her passion about her work was apparent from the moment we met as colleagues. She genuinely cares about her clients and balances knowledge and skill with compassion. She is especially adept with issues of addiction and recovery, but I happily recommend her to anyone.

As my primary counselor, and my individual counsel, i could not have asked for a better one.
My life was a complete mess when i was introduced to Annia, and she was there to help me from day 1. The life skills and advice that that she gave me i still fall back on today.
I would absolutely recommend Annia for anyone who is going thru difficult times in their life.

I have been a colleague of Annia Raysberg for about 5 years now and highly recommend her as a therapist. She is professional, empathetic and dedicated to her work. Annia works with individuals, couples and families specializing in addictions ACA, anxiety and relationship issues. I feel confidant referring to her and continue to be impressed with her abilities as a therapist. She is also fluent in Russian!

I have known Annia Raysberg for over 7 years personally and as a colleague. Annia is a therapist who genuinely cares about her patients. She works diligently to continue to develop her "toolbox" in order to provide the best care and latest coping skills for her patients. I have done a couple of collaborative consultations with Annia and would definitely refer patients to her. I recommend patients who are looking for a new therapist to give her a call and seriously consider her as your choice.
