Therapists in Union City, CA

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.

Hi there, I am so glad you're here. I understand how daunting it can be to take steps towards healing. Perhaps you feel misunderstood by the people around you. Or perhaps you are accustomed to confronting problems on your own, without the help of others. Whatever you might be facing, I want to assure you that you are not alone. I am honored to walk alongside you as you step outside of your comfort zone to embark on your journey to growth and self-discovery. I offer warm and collaborative therapy to individuals and couples who are seeking to work through past traumas, difficult emotions, communication, and challenges with identity. My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I strive to create a space where you are able to be your authentic self and explore the nooks and crannies of your internal world. If you are seeking a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your inner world, I will be there to hold and support every part of you as we put the pieces together. As your therapist, I can help you re-discover and make peace with the parts of yourself that were overlooked and perhaps pushed away due to past traumas or challenges with self-identity. In working together, you can begin to redefine yourself in ways that feel empowering, authentic, and aligned. Whatever it may be, you are not alone in your journey.

You feel alone in your pain. Maybe even shame. The quiet assumption that you are broken — and that others aren't. You are not broken. And you are not alone in feeling this way. I have been practicing somatic psychotherapy for 20 years — work that moves beyond talking into the wisdom the body holds. As you land in the body, something shifts. The feelings that once felt overwhelming become bearable. The anger starts to feel like courage. You begin to recognize you are more capable than the old story insists. This is not about managing your life better. It is about living it more fully as yourself. I have particular experience with South Asian, Middle Eastern, and other communities of color navigating the intersection of cultural identity, ancestral trauma, and the longing for something more. I also have a working knowledge of Hindi. My work is grounded in training in depth psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies and over 15 years of immersion in Diamond Logos teachings. Virtual somatic psychotherapy available throughout California. Psychospiritual Integration mentorship available worldwide. A limited number of reduced-fee spaces are available — please reach out.
