A safe space for healing, self-discovery, and creating the life you want to live.
Therapy offers a rare space that’s just for you — to slow down, reflect, and explore what’s beneath the surface. Making time for this kind of self-understanding can bring more clarity, balance, and freedom into your life. Our work is grounded in care and collaboration, always attuned to your unique story.
Our practice focuses on the following problems and areas for growth for Individual Adults, Couples, and Teens/Tweens:
- Couples who are struggling with fixed and repetitive conflict, poor communication, emptiness and boredom, not feeling valued by one another, sexual problems, or a lack of spontaneity and passion
- Anxiety, excessive worry, panic symptoms, and intrusive thoughts
- Depression, mood fluctuations, and emotional instability
- Supportive care for people across a wide range of gender identities and relationship experiences
- Grief, loss, and life transitions
- Therapy for therapists
- Creating and sustaining intimate relationships
- Coping with major life stresses
- Exploring personal direction, values, and purpose
- Enhancing confidence, self-worth, and resilience
- Improving communication skills and interpersonal effectiveness
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. She completed advanced training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at LAISPS (2014), which deepened her understanding of how early experiences, unconscious patterns, and relational dynamics shape our lives. As an AACAST-certified couples and sex therapist (2025), Dr. Babin trained in evidence-based approaches to help partners build secure, satisfying connections. Our practice supports couples, individual adults, teens/tweens and their families.
What we don’t repair, we are destined to repeat. Even the most loving relationships can feel stormy at times. Patterns from the past can quietly resurface, leaving frustration, distance, or doubt. We believe these moments of tension are also invitations—to pause, reflect, and deepen your connection.
Drawing on Allan Schore’s Right Brain Psychotherapy (AACAST), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Gottman couples therapy, we help partners understand each other’s experiences, communicate with clarity, and uncover how past experiences shape present dynamics. Together, we break unhelpful cycles and create space for growth, intimacy, and renewed closeness. The result is often unexpected: a spark rekindled, mutual understanding deepened, and a relationship alive with curiosity, playfulness, and passion—where both partners feel truly seen, valued, and connected.
Our community can be a hurtful and marginalizing place, especially for those questioning or affirming gender or sexual identity. We practice affirmative therapy, which honors the whole person and embraces a positive, competent view of LGBTQIA+ identities. This approach addresses the impact of homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism, helping clients build resilience, navigate challenges, and discover new ways of being in the world. We provide a safe and supportive space for self-discovery—for individuals exploring their identity, those in the process of transitioning, parents seeking guidance for themselves or their children, and clients of all ages pursuing gender-related medical care.
