Recommendation for couple's therapist who is lesbian and parent focused
Hello,
I am looking for recommendations for a couple's therapist in the Berkeley area who has a good grasp of same sex relationships or who is (preferably) gay. My partner and i have been together over ten years and are dealing with issues mainly having to do with remaining close after becoming parents (our daughter is 5). Any sharing of positive experiences would be most helpful. Thank you.

Parent Replies
My partner and I have seen Anita Barnes in Oakland on and off over the last 8 years or so, both before and after we became parents. I could not say enough good things about her. She has a great sense of humor, she doesn't mince words, she has great ethics, and she's reliable and responsive. I'm not sure if she's taking new clients, but her number is 452-0991. Her office is near Lake Merritt.
Cindy Blackett was a huge help to us with that exact problem. I wasn't convinced we were ever going to find our way back to being a couple again instead of just parents. But we did! She's really normal (not new agey) and gave us a lot of very practical help. I don't know if she's lesbian or not—we never asked. Her number is (510) 540-5409.Best of luck to you SK
