At Pacific Anxiety Group, we support adults, teens, and children navigating the ups and downs of everyday life—whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply seeking a space to reflect and grow. Our team of doctoral-level psychologists provides personalized, evidence-based care that’s grounded in empathy and clinical expertise.
We work with clients on a wide range of emotional and life concerns, including:
At our practice, we incorporate a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities designed to support personal growth and promote healing for our clients. Our multifaceted approach includes several key therapies:
This widely recognized method focuses on helping individuals identify, challenge, and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. By understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, clients learn to replace negative beliefs with more constructive ones, leading to healthier behaviors and emotional responses.
ACT encourages clients to embrace their thoughts and feelings without judgment, fostering a mindset of acceptance. Rather than resisting uncomfortable emotions, clients learn to navigate these feelings while committing to actions aligned with their core personal values. This process facilitates greater psychological flexibility and resilience.
These techniques emphasize the importance of self-awareness and the cultivation of self-compassion. Clients are guided to connect more deeply with their emotions through mindfulness practices, allowing them to experience their thoughts and feelings in the present moment without avoidance or suppression. This enhanced awareness helps improve overall well-being and emotional regulation.
EFT is centered on helping individuals identify, explore, and articulate their emotions in a productive manner. This therapeutic approach recognizes that understanding and expressing emotions can lead to healing and personal insight. It empowers clients to process their feelings and communicate them effectively, thereby improving their interpersonal relationships.
Our therapeutic process is fundamentally collaborative and rooted in compassion. We prioritize understanding your unique circumstances, experiences, and goals, recognizing that each individual’s journey is distinct. Because of this, our interventions are not one-size-fits-all; instead, they are meticulously tailored to suit your specific needs and aspirations.
We firmly believe that therapy should feel like a partnership, where the client and therapist work hand-in-hand toward meaningful and lasting change. Even when faced with uncertainty or difficult times, we maintain a steadfast belief in the possibility of positive transformation. We know that with the right guidance, support, and empathetic care from skilled professionals, healing and growth are not just aspirations but achievable realities. Our commitment is to provide a safe, nurturing environment that fosters your journey toward well-being.
The PAG leadership team — Kate, Laura, Rob, and Tam — came together in 2011 with a shared goal: to build a clinic grounded in evidence-based care, clinical excellence, and genuine compassion. Having all worked and trained at Stanford University, we envisioned creating a place where clients could access effective treatment for anxiety, stress, and low mood, delivered by highly-trained, doctoral-level clinicians who felt equally supported and inspired. From the beginning, we were committed to integrating cutting-edge psychotherapy with a warm, collaborative professional culture, and we’ve been growing that vision ever since.
