Providing modern CBT and elevated therapy services to Women & Parents in California/San Francisco Bay Area.

Helping everyday people learn to live well in the face of Anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and the struggles that come with Parenting in a Modern World!

Kaitlin Soule, owner of Bay Area Modern Therapy

My approach to therapy is simple and Modern.

I use my knowledge and compassion to guide you towards a life that is led by YOU instead of your fear (read: anxiety, stress, old stories, and limiting beliefs!) I believe that the real work of therapy goes beyond the room…which is why I offer my client’s text and email support in-between sessions.

Kaitlin is warm, approachable, authentic and incredibly knowledgeable. There isn’t a judgmental bone in her body, and that’s always very comforting when going through hard times. Highly recommend!”

OUR APPROACH

I am not a “blank slate”- I believe in being the kind of therapists that I’d want for myself or my loved one… and that means showing up as a human AND a highly-skilled therapist.

  • We come up alongside our clients, not above. Meaning, while we're highly trained and know our "stuff" we're also humans who understand what it feels like to struggle in different seasons of life.

  • While we tailor our work towards each individual we use the lens of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Family Systems, and EMDR to help our clients make meaningful and lasting change.

  • We meet you where you are and use real language in session. We want you to show up as yourself- comfy clothes, babies, and snacks are welcome!

  • We offer virtual, in-person, and walk-and-talk therapy because we want therapy to be accessible and feel good!

  • Our offices are modern and comfy because if you're doing the work to show up, we want you to feel good being there (we've been haunted by the dark, dingy, therapy spaces of the past too).

  • While we work with everyone, we have a special interest in working with women and parents - we are trained in the areas of Perinatal Mental Health, Anxiety Disorders, the Good Inside Parenting Approach, PTSD, and working with women with ADHD.
