Get to Know Us
Laurel Chace, LMFT
I work with older adolescents and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or are overly self-critical. Many of my clients identify as highly sensitive, struggle with inner wounds that developed in childhood, or feel caught in patterns of people-pleasing, anxiety, or perfectionism often shaped by cultural, relational, and gender-based pressures. I’m especially passionate about supporting women who feel disconnected from themselves after years of prioritizing others, questioning their worth, or feeling “not enough” despite doing everything right.
My approach is solution-focused and person-centered, grounded in warmth, collaboration, and respect for your lived experience. I integrate practical DBT and CBT skills to help you manage emotions, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build coping tools you can use in real life while also making space to explore deeper relational wounds and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Therapy with me is supportive, nonjudgmental, and goal-oriented that thrives in willingness to address unhelpful patterns and receive feedback. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, balance, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
I was born and raised in the Bay Area and have called both the East Bay and Marin County home. Passions of mine in addition to therapy include gardening, yoga, thrifting, reading, and spending time with my cats.
Simone Weber, LMFT
If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, the impact of trauma, a life transition, interpersonal challenges, difficulty functioning in a world designed for neurotypicality, substance use issues, and/or low self-esteem, I am here for you. I have a knack for working with young adults, adolescents, and parents/families of adolescents through the complexities of life, relationships, and identity exploration.
My approach to therapy has beeen described as empathetic, warm, non-judgmental, and highly-attuned to the individual or family I am working with. I aim to be that someone in your corner who can help you sift through the choices, complexities, and challenges that you are facing, as well as celebrate your strengths and accomplishments. I genuinely love to get to know the people I work with and assist them in accessing self-reflection and self-compassion to find ways of expression that are assertive, clear, and regulated in order to better understand and empathize with themselves and their loved ones.
The modalities I am trained in and most often utilize are; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT), Narrative therapy, and Attachment-Based Family therapy (ABFT).
Being a therapist is an honor and a privilege. In this role, I see myself as your thought-partner, someone who wholly believes in you, and honors the unique story you have to tell. I am originally from the island of Oahu, HI and now live in the beautiful Bay Area, CA. I am an anti-zionist Jew, abolitionist, and member of the LGBTQ+ community. Liberation for ALL people is what guides my experience of being human and is woven into my work with clients. I love to spend my time hiking, swimming, practicing tarot and talking astrology, listening to music, reading fantasy/sci-fi, playing cozy video games, and annoying my cats (Kitten Lamar and ScHoolboy Cat).
