Welcome!


I am a licensed Psychotherapist (MFC 52922) in the state of California.  I work with individuals 18 and over in a private practice setting.  I am available for sessions Monday-Friday 11am-6pm.

Here is a short video of me introducing myself and my practice:

My fee is $275 for each 50 minute session.  I can provide a statement to submit to a PPO plan.

I offer telehealth (video sessions) with a possibility of in-person sessions in my home office in Castro Valley, CA.  Telehealth clients must be physically located in California at the time of session.   

I have been providing psychotherapy exclusively for 14 years, and I have been involved in the field of psychology for 20+ years I have been fully licensed as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) since 2013.  I am a published author, speaker, and consultant on mental health topics.  In addition, I facilitate a peer consultation group, a networking event, and a 12 step meeting for psychotherapists on a regular basis.  

As a therapist, I am compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative. Together, we will identify your goals and how best to achieve them.  I tend to be fairly active in sessions, providing feedback and suggestions.  I am not a "blank slate" therapist - I bring my authentic self to each session, and I am confortable providing some appropriate self-disclosure if it is helpful to my clients.  

My theoretical orientation is Eclectic which means I draw upon many different modalities to find what works best for a particular client.  I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as DBT interventions when appropriate; typically for anxiety, depression, and addictions. I am tool-oriented, and I can provide a variety of suggestions on workbooks, audio recordings, homework exercises, meditation techniques, and community resources.  I teach mindfulness meditation in sessions if that's of interest.

I also offer 12 step support which means I help people navigate 12 step programs if they are interested in joining them.  Some of my clients come to me to deepen their existing 12 step recovery.  Finally, I use EMDR to re-process traumatic memories.  EMDR has other applications as well.  I am Certified in EMDR which means I have advanced training beyond Basic Training.

Specialties:

  • Relationship Challenges
  • Anxiety / Mood Disorders
  • Addiction & Recovery / 12 Step Support
  • Adult Child of Alcoholic/Mentally Ill Parent
  • Cross - Cultural Issues & Immigration
  • Women's issues/Pregnancy & Postpartum
  • EMDR for traumatic memories
  • Clients with ongoing legal issues (I write letters for court)

I value & celebrate diversity, and I work with clients from all racial backgrounds, LGBTQ+/trans/genderqueer, and all walks of life.  I work with clients who are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, atheist, agnostic, pagan, and everything in between.  

Potential clients are welcome to contact me for a free 15 minute phone or video consultation by e-mail at Annia.Raysberg@gmail.com.  

Good Faith Estimate:

As of 2022, patients have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.  I will be happy to provide an estimate before scheduling any services.

About me:  I am a cis-gendered Caucasian female in my mid-40s.  

My interests include languages, travel, and of course psychology/mental health.  I am committed to personal growth in my own life, which takes many forms.  Being a therapist is more than a job to me - it is my calling, my passion, and a way of life.  

I live with my husband and our 7 year old son in Castro Valley, California.  I strive to balance career, family, parenting, fitness, and personal growth to the best of my ability.
