Yael Gonicman LMFT: Therapist for Anxiety, Trauma, and Emotional Overwhelm in Palo Alto, California
My Approach
You may look like you’re managing on the outside, but inside feel anxious, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift. Racing thoughts, low mood, old wounds, and constant pressure can make everyday life feel heavier than it should.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable. You may be carrying anxiety, emotional heaviness, past experiences, or patterns that no longer serve you, yet aren’t sure how to change them
​Many clients begin therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of themselves.
Therapy is not about fixing you — it’s about helping you understand yourself with compassion and move forward with confidence. If you’re ready for support that feels both nurturing and grounded in clinical skill, I invite you to connect.
With warmth and time, therapy becomes a place where anxiety begins to ease, clarity grows, and confidence gently returns. Our work often supports deeper emotional steadiness, healthier relationship patterns, and a kinder, more trusting relationship with yourself. Change unfolds slowly and intentionally, within a space designed for safety, compassion, and meaningful growth.Your therapy is deeply personalized.
Rather than following a rigid formula, we move in a way that honors your comfort, goals, and natural pace.

I hold certifications in several modalities which include EMDR, IFS, and art therapy in order to be able to find the best way to help and support you.
In my spare time. I enjoy exercising my creativity through pottery, drinking a good cup of coffee and going on a hike with friends, my husband and my dog.
