Therapists in Richmond, CA

I help people explore the self-doubt and dissatisfaction in an otherwise put together life. Your life not so put together? Or falling apart? I can help there too. I believe you already have the qualities to transform your life and your relationships. With the right perspective and support system, difficult times can transition to a stronger, more resilient you. I can provide you with a safe and nurturing environment when life feels overwhelming or challenging. I work from a strength-based and practical perspective that supports self-exploration and healing.

I am one of the few neuropsychologists in San Francisco Bay Area. I have completed over 4300 assessments in the last 22 years since I was licensed in 2002. I am also a medical staff member at St. Mary's /UCSF McAuley Institute Adolescent Inpatient Unit. I can test in Spanish and French. I also speak Hindi and Urdu. I love working with children adn teens, and helping them receive the accommodations they deserve; I specialize in ADHD, focusing /concentration difficulties, and Processing Speed/Receptive Auditory Processing Skills difficulties. I also can help students with anxiety and depression and trauma. The assessment is usually six hours of testing, and then I score and write up a report , good for three years, and have a feedback with the family, and then, for no fee, have a feedback with the school Learning department. The head of the LD department writes up a one to two page summary for the SAT/ACT/IB or SSAT Board, in order to request accommodations, such as extra time, smaller testing rooms, etc.

I specialize in trauma, including childhood abuse, complex and traumatic relationships, and the ways our minds and bodies sometimes disconnect to help us survive. If you’ve felt numb, isolated, or like you're just going through the motions, you’re not alone—and I promise there’s nothing wrong with you. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both neuroscience and deep compassion. I offer a space where you don’t have to explain everything in perfect words—where your emotions, your body, and your survival strategies are all welcome. As someone who’s walked this path myself, I know how heavy it can feel to carry pain that was never yours to begin with. Healing is possible, even if it hasn’t worked before. We’ll work gently and intentionally to untangle what’s been holding you back, so you can start to feel safe, connected, and fully yourself. You will never be judged for your choices or your experiences, but rather valued for every aspect of your individual journey. You just need to show up—I’ll meet you there, and we’ll move forward together. You can learn more about me on my website at www.SaraSanfordTherapy.com or call/text 415-870-6494.

I support children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are navigating emotional, relational, identity, and life-transition challenges. My work focuses on helping clients better understand themselves, build practical coping skills, strengthen communication, and create meaningful change in their daily lives. I specialize in concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, gender and sexuality exploration, and family or relationship challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies including DBT, ACT, Exposure Therapy, trauma-informed care, Gottman Couples Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. As a certified yoga teacher with training in Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and meditation, I also bring a mind-body perspective to therapy when helpful. Whether clients are seeking individual therapy, couples or family support, DBT skills, trauma recovery, or career guidance, my goal is to provide a supportive space where they can feel understood, empowered, and better equipped to move forward.
