Green Psychotherapy, PC

Psychotherapy can help clarify what we care about, who we want to be, and where we want to go. At Green Psychotherapy, we focus on listening to our clients to learn about their priorities and their goals. In psychotherapy, clients can gain a better understanding and mastery of the specific problems they face-such as depression, anxiety, and difficult relationships.

Equally important, psychotherapy helps people get clear about their own vision for a better future, while offering concrete guidance and support to move ahead. Dr. Douglas Vakoch is a licensed clinical psychologist who believes that the foundation of successful psychotherapy is providing a safe space where people can be heard, understood, and accepted.

He is particularly interested in ways that we can engage with nature-in the midst of our hectic urban lifestyles-to provide a greater sense of serenity and fulfillment. He has also studied the lessons we can learn from astronauts for dealing with stress down here on Earth. For twelve years Doug taught the next generation of psychotherapists in the clinical psychology doctoral program at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco.
