The human brain is the most amazing, beautiful, complex, wonderful system known to mankind. Like every other body part, the brain needs compassionate care and repair from time to time. People make progress when in counselling sessions, but it's hard to apply what you've learned between sessions. Your primary clinician is a great match.
In addition, your case is reviewed regularly by others who are prepared to step in and help when needed. This allows us to provide an aggregate of over 80 years of experience across multiple areas of expertise. I was referred to Bay Area Mental Health a little over two years ago. I was reluctant to go after I interviewed with another facility.

Services
You struggle with common mental illnesses (anxiety, depression, bipolar, BPD or other possible disorders). In couples therapy we carefully reinforce each partner's commitment and understanding. You can learn to see through your partner's eyes, and know that your partner shares that same level of empathy for you.
Something bad happened to you, and now you're having a hard time sleeping, you startle easily, you get triggered by the smallest things. This isn't your fault. It's a normal reaction to something bad that happened to you. We are experts in trauma therapy and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and can help you heal safely.
You're standing in a crowded room, enjoying a party, when suddenly, a darkness begins to envelope you. It's heavy and sticky and seems to affect only you. You're slowly being brought to your knees, panicking at the thought of being consumed by it. Everyone else is moving on with their lives, and nobody seems to recognize that you're in pain.
Perhaps you woke up today wondering which monkey was going to be on your back. Would it be a rabid, frenetic monkey pulling you from idea to idea, task to task? Or would the monkey be one of self-destruction, determined to drag you down into the depths of a dark, lonely forest. Part of you may half-hope it's that frantic monkey, because at least he seems to lead toward life and adventure.
The causes of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) aren't completely known, though we do know that approximately 75% of people with BPD have a history of childhood abuse. There may also be a genetic component, but that's not quite clear yet. Once upon a time BPD was considered an intractable diagnosis.

Bay Area Mental Health is top notch!!! When looking for therapy resources to help with my anxiety and depression I always look for an environment where I feel comfortable and safe. These COVID times are trying times and I have watched BAMH make changes in order to continue to make their clientele first priority. I would highly recommend their services for anyone looking for a professional in the mental health field. Best in the business!!!!

Unprofessional. Not ideal. Could never even schedule a consultation because the person never picks up the phone nor returns calls.
I spoke to receptionist on Monday to get ideas of time cost etc. I was provided one time slot. I thought it was idea and told her I would call back later in the afternoon to confirm. I called back in the afternoon FIVE times never reached anyone live. Then I pressed option for therapist and left a message. No response. I called all day every day for a week. No one picked up, no one replied. Finally after 6 business days of calling, they finally picked up and said

I have been working with Bay Area Mental Health for almost 2 years now. My daughter & I utilized the therapy services for working through family issues. My daughter had the best counseling she had ever received for two years, compared with 5 years of so-so counseling. (Unfortunately her stellar counselor moved to LA). I can personally recommend Linnea Butler and her DBT series training. She and her DBT partner, Anne, have been stellar! I have gone through the series of twice and the knowledge I gained through homework & counseling has changed me permanently. I highly recommend this team

I cannot recommend this business.
I signed up for the Interpersonal Effectiveness DBT program in August 2017 and the Emotional Regulation DBT in October of 2017. How these classes went is that first you do a meditation exercise, then everyone talks about what they did for homework for the first hour. For the second hour, they explain the homework to be done before the next meeting. There were 2 teachers and 3-8 "students" in the class for any given session.
You pay $160 for a mandatory pre-group meeting with one counselor, then $100 per group session (so $800 for an 8-week session
