Logan Begneaud, APCC (she/her)
My name is Logan Begneaud and I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. I earned my Master’s degree in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling at New York University (NYU). My clinical training includes providing therapy to survivors of interpersonal violence at The Crime Victims Treatment Center (CVTC) in New York and a two-year post-graduate training program at The Psychotherapy Institute in Berkeley.
My orientation is Psychodynamic Relational therapy and I believe deeply in the transformative and healing potential of the therapeutic relationship based in shared trust, mutual respect and brave vulnerability. I aim to help clients to identify interpersonal patterns, build self-awareness and tap into strengths to make forward-moving life changes.
I bring warmth, compassion, and a deep respect for each client’s unique experience to each session. My approach is supportive, nonjudgmental, direct and integrates various modalities, including psychodynamic, somatic, internal family systems, and trauma-informed therapies.
I am currently offering tele-therapy to adults across California and encourage you to reach out for a free consultation to see if it feels like a good fit.
Christi Baker, AMFT (she/her)
My name is Christi Baker, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. Relational work was my calling. In response, I forged my own path through the economic justice and counseling psychology fields and through system-oriented and people-centered approaches. For the past three decades, I have stitched together a quilt of eclectic but connected experiences related to personal and collective well-being and liberation. Presently, I am a therapist to individuals and couples, where I use depth psychology to explore their past and present and facilitate their transformative work.
Informed by being trauma-informed and systems-oriented, I bring deep listening and genuine curiosity to therapy. I use an intersectionality framework to understand how people show up and how systems work and shape their experiences. I work with diverse people and couples who are looking for more meaning and alignment with their own values and stories; people and couples who are seeking more connection to themselves and others.
I tend to work with dreamers, creators, nurturers, and changemakers with varied identities across race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and age. I have experience working with anxiety, mood states, relationship and attachment issues, trauma and complex trauma, transitions, grief and loss, and altered states of reality/psychosis.
I am currently offering in-person therapy to teens, couples, and adults in the Bay Area and tele-therapy to teens across California. I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation to see if we feel like a good fit.
Holly Pittaway, LMFT, APCC (she/her)
Hello!My name is Holly Pittaway, and I am licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor, an Anthropology professor and a mother. The framework I utilize while working with clients is very person centered, humanistic, and psychodynamic. Essentially, I have the client lead the way and with my training, I follow. I believe all humans have the ability to grow and change. I believe having a therapist that makes you feel like you can be yourself completely, is essential in doing the work, so you can feel open to talk about anything without feeling judged. I like sitting with clients while they are trying to sort through anxieties, stuckness, life transitions, depression, feelings of low worth, identity concerns, relational issues, or trust. I utilize parts work, which helps us look at how one part of us may want to get a new job, but another part of us feels safe where we are. Parts work helps clients go deeper into their inner dialogue, whatever that dialogue may be.
I also have a trauma lens while working with clients. Meaning we can target current life stressors but also look at how our childhood and upbringing shaped us. I am EMDR trained and utilize EMDR when talk therapy is not moving us along, or if someone is specifically seeking out EMDR, I am happy to go that route as well.
Please reach out to me if you have questions on my approach and would like to set up a consultation
