Business Details
We are led by Don Crowe, PhD, a certified clinical psychologist with over 40 years of experience providing counseling and psychological services across the San Francisco Bay Area. Our practice integrates Dr. Crowes extensive academic training, professional experience working in institutional settings, and mentorship under leading figures in the field of psychology. We draw from humanistic, existential, and cognitive-behavioral therapeutic traditions, paired with practical, evidence-based strategies to support client growth. Our approach is intentionally integrative and collaborative, as we do not adhere rigidly to a single theoretical framework, instead tailoring our work to each clients unique present needs. We support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, perfectionism, personality patterns, work-life stress, and major life transitions. We also provide specialized support for clients facing relationship concerns, marriage challenges, mens-specific issues, fatherhood, adoption-related matters, and the process of aging well.

Our team brings both wisdom and practicality to every therapy session, grounded in the science of wellness and led with genuine care for each clients journey. We offer a safe, soothing office environment in Orinda, California, alongside secure teletherapy options for clients across the state. We uphold the highest professional standards as a licensed clinical psychology practice, committed to providing confidential, personalized care to every client.
