Find out how much better you can feel!   It is hard for women to let anyone ease the weight of our heavy challenges.  We struggle with the stress of our work, and our relationships with family, friends, and sexual partners, but most of all, we struggle with our feelings about ourselves. Women need a therapist who is knowledgeable about and sensitive to the psychology of women.  Call or e-mail me to find a therapist who matches your needs.  Rest in the safety of a woman who understands how hard you can be on yourself, and how to help you make peace with yourself. I have been doing psychotherapy as a licensed MFT #23666 in private practice with women, and men since 1987.  I treat a variety of problems, and I specialize in depression.  I am queer friendly, fat friendly and sex positive.  I am also fully trained in EMDR. I offer day and evening hours, parking is free, and I am very close to BART, buses, and routes 80 and 580. In San Francisco East Bay, call: 510-525-2341 or write: CynthiaLubow@yahoo.com

"Depression is very different from sadness. Two of the clearest differences are the self-attack and pessimism that accompany depression. Sadness, alone, doesn’t cause us to hate ourselves or blame ourselves. Nor does it cause us to interpret our past, present and future as terrible and hopeless. Depression, however, comes with a classic pattern that basically gets down to: “I’m bad; I’ve always been bad; I’ll always be bad;” and “my life is bad; it’s always been bad; it’ll always be bad.” Obviously people don’t usually think in these exact words, but it is experienced as a pervasive sense of being unforgivable, and of failure, defectiveness, lack of lovability, hopelessness, and powerlessness."   This is a quote from my book, Ending the Blues: A Psychotherapist's Secrets to Living Depression-Free which is available along with my other book, Higher Power for Recovering Cynics: Developing a Personalized Spiritual Life Without all the B#*$#t.
