Caroline Cretti, PsyD
Specializes In:
I am a licensed clinical psychologist, registered with the California Board of Psychology. I have been a therapist in the Bay Area for over 5 years. My goal in therapy is to provide space for clients to better understand themselves and the different dynamics that have created specific patterns of relationships, behaviors, and anxieties. I approach therapy and each client from a psychodynamic and humanistic framework.
As a clinical psychologist, I have experience working with trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, family and relationship issues, obsessive compulsive disorders, and serious mental illness. I also work to help clients cope with emotional stress related to transitions or change in their life, and the ups-and-downs in career, and health-related challenges. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from John F. Kennedy University and I attended Williams College for undergraduate education. I am originally from Colorado and have lived in the Bay Area for over 10 years.
