I can help you discover new ways to relate to other people, and to yourself, that will raise your self-esteem and make room for more joy in your life. Providing therapy since 1986, I’m able to offer a variety of tools and techniques to support you as you change and grow in the ways that are important to you.
As we work together to make your life better, I bring patience and compassion to the ups and downs of that process, and I can show you how to do the same. I especially enjoy helping:
- women of all sizes who would like to love their bodies exactly as they are
- codependents who wonder how to fit their own needs into family, work, or intimate relationships
- people who need effective ways to cope with depression, panic attacks, or anxiety
- queer folks, activists, and progressive thinkers who want to change the world as well as their own lives

Valerie Igl, MFT What I enjoy about my work is helping my clients get out of pain, solve problems, and create a life they love. I’m a passionate ally for transgender folks, and I work with all sexual orientations and genders, as well as the kink and poly communities. I help people cope with disabilities, and recover from abuse, addictions, and sexual difficulties.
Clients tell me they love my tranquil garden setting, and appreciate my interactive, results-oriented style. I can help you heal issues from the past, and resolve present-day problems, using highly effective holistic techniques like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).
I offer both brief and long-term work with teens, adults, families and couples. I also provide phone sessions for California residents, and asylum evaluations for immigration issues. I have 32 years experience, and I won Impact Bay Area’s 2007 Healing Advocate Award.
My scent-free ground floor office is near El Cerrito Plaza BART. To make therapy affordable, I accept Medi-Cal for Alameda County, and have a generous sliding scale, with even lower fees possible for afternoons. I also offer the option to meet weekly for a month, and then decide together whether every other week sessions are right for you.
Call for a FREE half hour phone consultation to talk about how I can meet your needs.
