Individual Counseling in the Bay Area & Southern California

In-Person Sessions Available in Oakland

Dr. Joel Crohn provides individualized therapy designed to help you explore personal challenges, gain insight, and develop coping strategies. With a compassionate approach, he works collaboratively with you to address a wide range of issues, including stress, self-esteem, and life transitions. You can choose between virtual appointments for convenience or in-person sessions for a more traditional experience.

Individual Therapy

Psychotherapy provides a safe, confidential space in which to examine and work through life events, relationships, insecurities, and fears so you can reach goals and achieve your aspirations. With insight and understanding, you will be better able to make decisions that align with your values, which will in turn provide you with more confidence, peace of mind, and a meaningful sense of direction.

What is Therapy?

Individual therapy is a collaborative process which helps people gain insight into their own feelings, behaviors, and life patterns. Depending on the concerns that bring you in, individual therapy can be highly goal-oriented and focused on a specific problem, like grief, depression, or social anxiety. Our counseling services provides a context for self-exploration to better understand troublesome themes that are occurring in your life such as low self-esteem, underperforming at school or work, or relationship problems.

Patient Testimonials

Joel Crohn, the author of Mixed Matches is in private practice here in the east bay.. He is truly an expert at interfaith therapy.

Berkeley Parents Network Berkeley, California

Joel Crohn makes us laugh and then cry over the misunderstandings that develop in cross-cultural relationships–and then provides useful guidelines for couples to work out their relationships.

Monica McGoldrick, MSW Director of the Multicultural Family Institute.

Mixed Matches offers good advice for dealing with family members & friends when marrying someone of a different race or culture. The book is a must read for any individual involved in or considering a relationship/marriage with someone of a different race. Keep it as a guide. I love it.

D. Dominguez Amazon Review

Beyond the Chuppah is a much needed book that combines proven research on marital relationships with special insights on Jewish belief systems and very sound in terms of what really helps couples save and improve their marriages…this book is a lifesaver and truly a mitzvah.

Celia Falicov, Ph.D. Past President of American Family Therapy Academy

Dr. Joel Crohn is really good. At least call him and talk to him. He's good with teens and with families. Berkeley Parents Network
