The life you want is within reach.
In-person therapy in the North Bay area and telehealth across CA.
Feeling truly seen, heard, and understood is at the heart of healing.
Life can feel heavy at times, whether it’s the weight of anxiety, the uncertainty of a big transition, the ache of grief, or the quiet discomfort of feeling stuck. You don’t have to carry these moments alone.
In our work together, I offer more than a listening ear, I offer a steady, compassionate presence. A place where your story matters, your feelings are honored, and your inner wisdom can be heard.
Over the years, I’ve walked alongside people as they’ve navigated loss, found their voice, built resilience, and stepped into lives that feel more aligned with who they truly are, whether that meant finding or creating their dream home, growing their family, leaving relationships that no longer serve them, or discovering work that lights them up from the inside.
Healing is not one-size-fits-all. It’s a deeply personal journey of reconnecting with yourself. Together, we’ll explore what nourishes your spirit, supports your growth, and helps you feel whole.
My practice is inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all backgrounds, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and those with diverse cultural experiences. There is space here for you.
No matter how painful or overwhelming your emotions may feel, you don’t have to carry them alone.
This is your time to pause, breathe, and begin the work of coming home to yourself at your own pace.
Psychotherapy Services
Therapy for Adult Individuals
Therapy is more than just addressing symptoms, it’s about uncovering the deeper meaning behind what you’re experiencing and creating lasting change.
Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and help you reconnect with your most authentic Self. My clients often find greater balance, improved relationships, and a stronger sense of self-trust.
Therapy for Kids & Teens
Young people see the world differently, and therapy should meet them where they are.
I create a space where kids and teens feel safe to express themselves, navigate challenges, and build the tools they need to handle life’s ups and downs with confidence. Whether they’re adjusting to change, working through loss, or struggling in school or friendships, I’m here to support them in feeling understood and empowered.
Therapy for Parents
Parenting is deeply rewarding, but also incredibly challenging.
Sometimes, even the most dedicated parents feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure how to best support their children. Therapy can help you understand your child on a deeper level, respond with patience and love, and create a stronger, more connected family dynamic.
Consultation for Clinicians
Being a therapist can be isolating at times.
Whether you’re just starting out or have been in practice for years, consultation offers a space to reflect, deepen your work, and gain fresh perspectives.
With my years of experience, I offer guidance and support to help you feel more grounded and confident in your role as a clinician.
Get To know me
Myra Gueco Bernecker, Ph.D.
I’m Myra Gueco Bernecker, Ph.D., and my work is a meeting place of deep professional training and lived human experience.
As a therapist, a parent, and a friend, I’ve learned that what we all long for, beneath the noise and the busyness, is a space where we can be fully ourselves, without judgment or pressure. A place where the tender parts of our story are met with compassion, not criticism.
I love holding that kind of space. One where you can lay down what you’ve been carrying, speak the truths you’ve been holding inside, and gently uncover the clarity that’s been waiting for you. My greatest joy is walking alongside people as they reclaim their strength, rediscover their voice, and grow into lives that feel more aligned with who they truly are.
I see you. I hear you. And I care deeply about your healing, not just as a goal, but as a journey of becoming more whole. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’ll be here, steady, present, and walking with you.
