Reclaim Your Story: Reshape Your Life

Even and especially during challenging times, your stories matter - the ones you hear, the ones you share, and the ones you tell yourself. You are writing the story of your life each day; anxiety and depression can make this process feel blocked, boring or even scary. I help people like yourself reclaim their stories and reshape their lives.

​Are you struggling to manage everything on your plate right now? ​Are feelings of grief, anxiety and/or self-doubt are making it hard to get through the day? Are you seeking better communication with loved ones and/or closer connection? Does hopelessness occasionally take hold, making you feel numb and affecting your eating or sleep? Do you often seek substances or screen-time as a means of escape?​

Hi, I am Tova Feldmanstern, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, relational therapist and trauma specialist located in Albany/Berkeley. I work with people to find greater ease, meaning and intimacy through attachment-focused, culturally-responsive therapy and mindfulness practices.

My Services

  • ​​I work with individuals to listen to, understand and harness their pain in order to access wellsprings of inner strength and peace.
  • I work with couples and families to do this individual work together, improve​ ​​communication and deepen connectivity. 
  • I draw upon many proven therapeutic tools including somatic awareness, psychodynamic theory, mindfulness based stress reduction and expressive arts. 
  • My practice affirms all genders, sexual and relationship orientations, races, cultures, faiths, abilities and bodies. It is my privilege to serve veterans, survivors, sex-workers and formerly incarcerated people. ​​


​My Areas of Expertise

Traumatic Stress - I can help you mitigate the impact of traumatic stress on your psyche and relationships and develop the tools you need to restore your sense of safety, autonomy and meaning. 

Self-Acceptance and Self-Love - ​I can help you increase self-compassion and establish ongoing self-care habits.

Healthy Relationships - I can help you improve your communication skills, set healthy boundaries and learn to navigate dating and romantic relationships with greater spaciousness and ease. 


Addictive Patterns - Whether your addictive pattern involves substances or other activities, I can support you to find new coping methods and make the changes you feel are needed. 

Creativity and Self-Expression- I can help you work through impostor syndrome, creative blocks, performance anxiety, phobias and anything getting in the way of you living a fully expressed and creatively fulfilled life. 

Grief and Loss - Whether you are dealing with a death, illness/injury, the end of a relationship or an identity/career shift, loss brings up a lot - you don't have to go through it alone.

A former staff therapist in the Counseling Departments at UC Berkeley and San Jose State University, I  specialize in working with college and graduate students, educators, queer, transgender and non-binary clients, student veterans, trauma survivors, people in recovery and artists.
