Dr. Babin is a licensed psychologist (PSY28354) located in Marin County, serving the San Francisco Bay area, the greater Los Angeles area and other parts of California via in-person and secure video sessions.

Our practice supports couples, individual adults, teens/tweens and their families.
Relationships are living systems. Over time, stress, misattunement, and unspoken experiences can pull partners out of sync. Couples therapy provides a thoughtful space to explore these moments with care – helping you reconnect emotionally, understand one another more fully, and rediscover the sense of partnership that brought you together. Many couples find this process opens the door to renewed closeness, resilience, and shared meaning. [more…]
High-responsibility roles demand constant focus, decision-making, and leadership. Over time, this level of pressure can lead to intense stress, isolation, and strain in both work and personal relationships. Therapy offers a confidential space to step back, gain perspective, and understand the systems you operate within – at work and in your personal life.
Through this process, you can develop clearer self-awareness, a more effective leadership style, and a stronger integration between your professional role and personal identity. Many find this leads to better decision-making, improved relationships, and a more sustainable way of living.
Loneliness is something many carry quietly – and sometimes it drives us to seek connection in places that leave us feeling even more empty. In a world that’s more digitally connected than ever, real-life closeness and meaningful relationships can feel harder to find. The quick hits of attention or validation we find online can offer a momentary escape, but they rarely meet the deeper need for closeness and belonging. Therapy offers a private, supportive space to explore what’s often left unspoken, build confidence in relating to others, and develop the skills to form deeper, more authentic connections. [more…]
Our community can be a hurtful and marginalizing place for people exploring or affirming their identity. We provide therapy that honors the whole person, supporting clients in understanding themselves and their experiences. This approach addresses societal pressures and bias, helping clients build resilience, navigate challenges, and explore new ways of living authentically. We offer a safe, supportive space for self-discovery—for anyone reflecting on their identity, pursuing personal growth, or seeking guidance for themselves or family members—regardless of age or background.
