Integral psychotherapy and coaching
There are times in our lives when life feels that it’s too much. This can happen at times of transitions like losing someone we love, encountering an illness, facing a career change, moving countries or home, or just for no outside reason.
Often during those times we don’t have enough support or answers. I aim to serve as a guide through transformation during those times.
I work with individuals, couples and families using an integral approach, working with challenges by restoring the balance between mind, body, and spirit. If you are interested in joining a therapy group please read here.
In sessions we will focus on working in ways that appeal to you most, whether it’s talking, noticing emotions and sensations, mindfulness, or expressing yourself through movement, drawing, or other ways. With difficult experiences that are sources of trauma, we will work to create safety in your body and mind allowing you to address these experiences.Â
The relationship between you and me is one of the most important aspect of the therapy. If we don’t connect, the therapy isn’t going to be that effective (this has been shown by studies as well). One of the primary goals of our work together will be establishing trust and safety that will allow you to grow and transform. This safety includes full respect and aiming to understand your culture, identity, and beliefs.
Finally, I find that everyone has a reserve of strengths and resources, even in the most difficult times. We will nourish and build these existing resources.
This workshop is an opportunity to slow down and arrive more fully into presence and connection in community. We will ground into the elements through mindfulness practices, deepening our relationship to the land, the water and ourselves. From that place of connection to elements and self, we will connect with others through gentle verbal and somatic exercises, to deepen a sense of belonging and community.

A workshop to turn toward your body’s wisdom for healing and renewal.
Description
Do you feel at home in your body? Is your relationship with it one of deep friendship, uneasy coexistence, or perpetual conflict?
This workshop is an invitation to gently explore your connection with your body—through movement, rest, and shared presence. Together and on our own, we’ll play, explore, and rest. This is a space of full permission to show up just as you are, and from that place see how you learn, flourish and get nourishment and rest.
All bodies, all abilities, and adults of all ages are welcome. No prior experience needed.

You are functioning fine, but now what? Perhaps life feels lackluster. Perhaps you feel like you are living but you are not alive. You want more. I can help you dive deeper into your experience and find the spark that’s part of living, find the spaciousness in everyday moments, find the magic that you maybe have felt once or twice before, but that feels extinguished by the endless wheel of living life as it is.
Right now I work mostly online. My office is located in Temescal, Oakland, California.
I am happy to have a free 15-30 minute consultation with you. You can reach me at leeza@pachepsky.com, or call/text 510-679-1317.
My fee for group therapy is $60-80; for individuals it is $160-200; and for couples and families it is $180-240. I provide lower sliding scale based on your need and my availability. I am also happy to provide you with a list of sliding-scale clinics in the Bay Area.
