Hi! I'm Jamie Lavender, a psychotherapist in the Bay Area in California. I work in a friendly, supportive, and client-centered way that helps you feel safe to be yourself, get more grounded, and say the things you need to say. Maybe you have things to get off your shoulders or off your chest, things that weigh on you. Maybe venting to your friends or family hasn't been helpful, or helpful enough. Or maybe it's those very relationships that are causing you the most suffering! Or perhaps the relationship that troubles you is your relationship with a substance (which includes psychiatric medication, "street"/club drugs, opiates/pain meds, cannabis, cigarettes, and alcohol, among others) or with impulses to do things (like gambling or spending money). On that note: I have a lot of experience working with substance and impulse problems in a harm reduction way-- that is, by working with people in whatever place they're at with their substance use or other behavior, and finding ways to reduce the harms of those things in their lives. This may mean moderation, temporary (or longer) abstinence, continuing to use at the same level while exploring what's happening in therapy, and/or a wide range of other possibilities. The important thing is helping you create change at your own pace, in ways that are both possible for you to do and sustainable into your future. Whether it's these kinds of struggles and challenges, or those involving life changes, loss, parenting, romantic relationships, sexuality, cultures and identities, family issues, dealing with systems of privilege and oppression and their effects, spirituality, communication, dreams, trauma... all are welcome here. As is finding your own power, your own voice, and making room for new things to happen in your life. Thanks for reading, and look forward to hearing from you! Jamie

My name is Allyson Klein, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have over 20 years of experience working as a therapist in the mental health field. I earned my BA degree in Psychology and Sociology from Brandeis University and my MSW degree from the University of California Berkeley, and I have worked in many different settings, providing care to people in need. My passion is to connect with people who may be struggling in their lives and help them work towards achieving their goals. I approach my clients with compassion and a non-judgmental stance. In my work as a therapist I know that creating a safe space for my clients is the key to helping them change. I have worked with a diverse range of individuals from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, age groups, and sexual orientations. I am well versed in working with people who struggle with depression, anxiety and panic, history of trauma, emotional and binge eating, addiction, family and relationship issues, work stress, and a multitude of life problems. My approach to treatment draws heavily on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Both modalities examine how our thoughts and behaviors influence our emotions and mood. DBT balances change strategies with acceptance strategies and is centered in the practice of mindfulness. Together we can identify ways of thinking and behavioral patterns that are leading to emotional pain and problems in living. Awareness is the first step; the next is beginning to make small changes that eventually lead to big changes. Change takes time, and it takes determination and courage. I am excited to walk that path with you.

How does the cost of in-person sessions with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp?
The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in San Joaquin due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:
- With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- With therapists: $100-300
- With a clinician: $100
While many psychologists in San Joaquin may not take health insurance, some in the state of California may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session.
