Who We Serve

Online therapy, built for Oakland life.

Between long hours, rising costs, and always needing to show up for everyone else, it can be hard to find time for anything that isn’t urgent — including your own well-being. Attune makes therapy fit into Oakland life instead of competing with it: secure video sessions from home, on a break, or wherever else works for you.

We work with adults throughout Oakland — from Temescal and Rockridge to Lake Merritt, Grand Lake, Fruitvale, and the Laurel District — navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, burnout, and major life transitions.

As a California-licensed telehealth practice, we’re also able to see clients throughout the greater East Bay, including Berkeley, Alameda, Emeryville, San Leandro, and Piedmont.

What We Treat

Support for what you’re carrying.

Individual Therapy

Therapy built around you.

One-on-one sessions with a trained associate therapist. We use evidence-based approaches, close clinical supervision, and outcome tracking from session one — tailored to your goals.

Depression & Anxiety

You don’t have to feel this way.

Depression and anxiety are highly treatable. Our therapists are trained in CBT, behavioral activation, and exposure-based approaches, with progress tracked every session.

Trauma & PTSD

What happened doesn’t have to define how you feel.

Trauma leaves a mark, but healing is possible. Our therapists are trained in Prolonged Exposure, CPT, and trauma-focused approaches, paced carefully with close supervision.

Relationship & Life Transitions

When life changes, so can you.

Grief, breakups, career changes, burnout, identity shifts — some seasons just need a guide. We use ACT, attachment-focused, and interpersonal approaches.

Why Attune

Care that fits your budget and your schedule.

Sliding Scale Fees

Therapy priced around what you can actually afford — insurance accepted for in-network plans, or sliding scale if you’re not, with superbills available for out-of-network reimbursement.

Close Clinical Supervision

Every associate therapist receives structured feedback from a licensed supervisor after each session — more oversight than many fully licensed clinicians receive.

Telehealth Convenience

No commute across the Bay Bridge or down 580 and 880. Sessions happen wherever you are, on a schedule that works around your job.

FAQs

Questions we hear often.

Does Attune have an office in Oakland?

No — Attune is a telehealth-only practice licensed to provide therapy throughout California. Oakland clients meet with their therapist over secure video from wherever is most convenient, so there’s no office to visit and no commute.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Research consistently shows telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person care for most concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Many clients also find it easier to stay consistent with sessions when there’s no commute involved.

How much does therapy cost in Oakland?

We use a sliding scale fee structure based on your income and financial situation, discussed during your intake call. Attune is a private-pay practice, and we can provide superbills you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes — we’re in-network with Aetna, Optum, UnitedHealthcare, Sutter Health Plus, Sharp Health Plan, and Western Health Advantage. If you’re on a different plan, we’re also private pay with sliding scale fees, and can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.

Who will I be working with?

You’ll be matched with an associate therapist who has completed their graduate training and is working toward full licensure under close clinical supervision, with structured feedback from a licensed supervisor after every session.

Do you serve areas near Oakland, like Berkeley or Alameda?

Yes. Because we’re licensed to practice throughout California via telehealth, we also serve clients throughout the East Bay, including Berkeley, Alameda, Emeryville, San Leandro, Piedmont, Richmond, El Cerrito, and Castro Valley.
