I am Ivan Skolnikoff, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Berkeley. I practice mindfulness centered psychotherapy to help people feel more comfortable in their own skin and empowered in their lives. My work as a therapist is significantly informed by my training in Hakomi Mindfulness-Based Experiential Psychotherapy and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (somatic therapy approaches).
I work with individuals, teens/adolescents, couples and groups. Therapy for trauma can help people heal and regain their wholeness and strength. Mindfulness centered psychotherapy for anxiety can help you feel more grounded in facing day-to-day challenges. Therapy for addictions can help bring more awareness of your underlying needs and find more effective ways of self-soothing.

Mindfulness Therapy
Report
With an MA in counseling psychology from the University of San Francisco in 1993, and a Marriage and Family Therapist License in 1999, I have been engaged in mindfulness therapy with clients for over 20 years. I work with individual adults, couples, teens and groups. My intention in offering therapy is to reunite you with your own innate power that wants to unfold naturally in the direction of greater wholeness.

Therapy for Individuals
Report
Individual therapy helps people identify their beliefs, attitudes, and models of the world for themselves and other people. These beliefs influence the kinds of experiences they have in their life. For example, let's say that you have a belief that none of your friends care whether or not you show up at their parties.
Relationship Counseling
Report
Relationship counseling helps people identify their personal emotional triggers and the ways they interact with each other that become circular and self- reinforcing. Intimate couple relationships can be the most rewarding and challenging experiences in life. Working through power struggle and disagreements effectively can be a healing experience for both partners and bring them closer together.
Group Therapy
Report
Group therapy can be effective when members are able to experience being seen with acceptance and compassion. Being seen in a safe and supportive way can help people express and let go of painful memories and integrate more empowering ways being in the world. Since most members in the group are working on some personal challenge, the power of the healing that can be experienced exceeds what's possible through individual therapy alone.
