Joanna Lay

My clients describe me as:

Grounded, introspective, and real. I don't just sit and listen; I'm an active participant so you have greater clarity, insight, and relief.

Something to know about my approach is:

We start with the basics of boundary management so no one hijacks your nervous system or time. Next we work with your parts (perfectionist, inner critic...) so that you get more choice and confidence in how you show up.

Together, we will:

Together we will understand your deepest longings and what feels like it is holding you back. We'll work on tools to help you feel calm, confident, and clear so that you are living the life you actually want.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are struggling to put themselves first and still show up as their best self for the people in their life. I help my clients clarify their needs, boundaries, and feel more connected and less overwhelmed.

I became a therapist because:

You are hero of the story; I am merely the guide. I am passionate about helping others overcome challenges and embrace their true, authentic self.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

Dealer's choice! We can meet in-person at my tranquil office in Cow Hollow or virtually from the comfort of your home (phone or Zoom).
