Walnut Creek + East Bay
Therapy in Walnut Creek,
California.
Couples work, sex therapy, trauma recovery, anxiety, and individual therapy for the East Bay. Led by Christina Mathieson, LMFT, with a team of associate therapists across California.
Telehealth is our default — most Walnut Creek and East Bay clients meet with us via secure video, which fits how the Bay Area actually works: commute schedules, childcare windows, and the kind of jobs where blocking 90 minutes for an office visit is hard. In-person sessions are available with Tina Masoudi, at our Walnut Creek suite.
Who we see in the East Bay
Walnut Creek is a particular kind of client load.
A lot of who we see lives somewhere along the 680 corridor — Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Alamo, Danville — and commutes or has commuted to San Francisco, Oakland, or the Peninsula. That pattern shapes the work. Dual-career couples trying to protect their relationship under deadline pressure. High-performing professionals whose anxiety has started doing more driving than they realized. Parents navigating the expectation-load of raising kids in a high-achievement zip code.
There's also a quieter cohort: people who moved here for schools or space, lost some of their social scaffolding in the move, and are noticing it. Long-married couples whose kids are launching and who haven't had the what now? conversation yet. Adults re-examining faith, sexuality, or identity in mid-life.
None of this is a Walnut Creek problem specifically — but the flavor shows up often enough that it's worth naming. Good therapy for this area respects both the demands of the life and the parts of the person the life doesn't leave room for.

Common questions from Walnut Creek clients.
Where is your Walnut Creek office?
+
Our business address is 1460 Maria Ln, Suite 300, Walnut Creek, CA 94596. In-person sessions are available only with Tina Masoudi — other clinicians on our team see clients via secure telehealth across California.
Can I do therapy online if I live in Walnut Creek?
+
Yes — telehealth is our default across California, including Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, and the broader East Bay. Most Walnut Creek clients choose video sessions for the flexibility around commute, childcare, and professional schedules. Sessions use the same research-backed methods as in-person.
Do you work with Bay Area tech, finance, and healthcare professionals?
+
Yes. A significant portion of our Walnut Creek and East Bay clients come from tech, finance, legal, and medical fields, and we regularly work with the burnout, perfectionism, high-functioning anxiety, and relationship-under-pressure patterns that show up in those careers.
Are evening and weekend sessions available?
+
Yes. We offer evenings and weekends to fit around the typical Bay Area work schedule. Telehealth makes it easier to fit a session between a late meeting and dinner without a commute.
