Testimonials

"A passionate advocate for emotional truth and social justice, Astraea brings her whole heart and mind to her work as a psychotherapist.  She is empathic, perceptive, supportive and, very importantly, real in her relationships with her clients.  To my mind, these are the cornerstones of excellent psychotherapy, and Astraea embodies all of them."

-Benjamin Lipton, LCSW  Senior Faculty of Accelerated Experiential Psychotherapy Institute

"Astraea brings genuine commitment, warmth, and passion to her work.  She integrates traditional and cutting edge approaches, as well as a deep understanding of the impacts of culture, to help people know themselves more deeply, and more fully live the lives they want."

  -Elena Moser, LCSW  Clinical Director of Women's Therapy Center

"Intuitive, empathic, warm, and highly intelligent, Astraea is a gifted therapist.  While in our program she successfully completed two of our most sophisticated internships in the Bay Area: Oakland Children's Hospital, and Stanford University's Counseling Center.  She has an excellent understanding of the complexities and nuances of social identity, and was a leader in helping raise community awareness about racism and classism.  She has a good sense of humour, and is the kind of person people want to know- I consider her to be a mensch."

-Joshua L. Miller, PhD  Professor and Chair of Social Policy, Smith College School for Social Work
