You’ve mastered survival mode. Now it’s time to heal.

Therapy for Women in Oakland, CA & Online Throughout California.

You don’t have to feel stuck in anxiety, grief, or trauma
I help women move from just getting by to feeling more like themselves again.

You’re wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again.

The twists and turns of your journey have left you feeling lost.
You’re carrying grief, anxiety, or pain from the past — and you can’t seem to let it go.
You ask yourself, “Is this just how it is now?”

You’ve survived a lot.
But something inside you is ready for change.

What if therapy could be more than just relief?
What if it could help you reconnect with the person you were meant to be?

Hi, I’m Dr. ELIZABETH GAYNER- Licensed Psychologist in Oakland, CA

I specialize in helping women navigate trauma, infertility, loss, the transition into motherhood. and much more
As a perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C), I’ve worked with women facing pregnancy challenges, postpartum distress, and deep, unspoken fears.

Clients describe me as warm, authentic, and direct in the gentlest ways. I believe in showing up as a real person in the room — and creating a space where you can too.

This is where healing happens: not in pretending, but in telling the truth and being fully seen.
