I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Pleasant Hill, CA. I love helping women, teens, and couples figure out where they are, how they got there, and how to design and work toward a different and better path. I help my clients go from overwhelmed, unhappy, exhausted, and alone to fulfilled, grounded, and connected. My clients initially talk to me about their physical symptoms like lack of focus, panicky feelings, feelings of sadness and confusion. We work to manage the physical symptoms using brain and body based skills and tools while we connect the dots to exactly what things throughout their lives got them to this place and ...

I enjoy facilitating communication between couples, family members to promote healthy and happy relationships. Conflict does not mean an end to happiness and learning how to repair and come together is what builds trust and allows growth to occur. I get energized from finding pathways to healing, particularly when hope has been lost. Resolving conflict is particularly rewarding and seeing happiness and growth flourish is why I do what I do.

Dr. C. says, "I was overjoyed to learn that Anahata Neuman was going to be setting up a local therapy practice, specifically working with patients suffering from psychotic disorders. This has been a huge missing in our community, as traditional therapists often struggle to work with these patients. After referring some patients to Anahata, I realized that she is able to meet people where they are, whether it be trying to stay out of the hospital, or trying to manage a mentally ill family member, or destigmatizing a diagnosis. She works effectively with all types of patients, from those who experience paranoia and auditory hallucinations, to those who have mood instability and problems managing life's stressors. Her ability to adapt and not pathologize behavior allows patients to quickly connect with and trust her. She is flexible and genuinely caring, it is effortless for her, because it is clear that this is who she is. And with this kind of approach, as she says, "Healing happens."" Read more

Recent success stories from people in the Santa Cruz area.
Joe H.
I sought out Lesley for help with anger issues four years ago and she has vastly improved the way that I move through life. Lesley genuinely cares about me. During our sessions, she and gently pushes me out of my comfort zone in a non-judgmental way. Deep emotional work with Lesley has resulted in me becoming more present and aware of my fears, and taught me how to feel these emotions rather than push them away (which previously lead to my anger). She gave me the tools to deal with my emotions and showed me how my past experiences shape my current reality. Though initially resistant to therapy, I evolved so that I now look forward to my sessions with Lesley. I know that I will be challenged and that I will leave each session feeling better than when I arrived. Highly Recommend!

Renee was amazing! I was working on a big career transition; healthcare to the corporate world and was feeling lost. She helped me identify my career goals, translate my experience into a new resume, and taught me how to communicate my skills for the job I wanted. She was patient and supportive and had lots of great tips and knowledge! I was able to successfully secure a new job in the field I wanted. I highly recommend Renee's services!

Anahata and I collaborated together at a crisis residential house where people felt extremely vulnerable, having just been released from a psychiatric hospital. While working together, I came to realize that Anahata strives to treat all people with the dignity and respect they deserve. She works to empower her clients to be connected and understand themselves, so they can be in charge of their health and wellness. Using empathy, she helps her clients to feel safe, to feel understood, and to ultimately feel like they can make progress. During our work together, she demonstrated time and again that she is an empathic, compassionate, and dedicated professional with absolute integrity. She can provide a diagnosis if necessary, but she does not let the diagnosis define her work with a client. She has the insight and knowledge to help her clients work through highly vulnerable feelings or memories in a safe and therapeutic way that will not be re-traumatizing. She genuinely wants to help her clients work through difficulties in a non-pathologizing, deeply respectful, collaborative process in which people experience their innate capacities for well-being. -Sara Bassler MD, Psychiatrist.
