This is a Stressful Time
When stress levels become high, anxiety can take control of our thoughts, our physical health, and even become an obstacle in our daily lives.
This has been a difficult time for couples and families to navigate and stay in sync. Living together 24/7 can cause couples to turn away from each other, rather than connect and communicate. This can also be true for families.
Our counselors will work with you, your partner, and your family to help you connect, communicate, and repair your relationships. We will also teach you how to better manage your thoughts, take care of your health, and move effectively through your day.
We can help you — and the people in your life — feel better.

Testimonials
If anything comes up again where I needed some extra assistance, I won’t hesitate to head right back to Elizabeth’s office.

Elizabeth helped me through the crisis and her advice kept me grounded. She is welcoming, warm and supportive. Elizabeth listens patiently and is straightforward, which I appreciate immensely. I found the tools and methods and approach she uses to be very helpful.

We love Elizabeth. She is very understanding of the issues. She works well with teenagers, and knows how to approach them.

Juliana C.Oakland
Elizabeth Dandenell goes way beyond the “call of duty” when it comes to her work as a therapist. She really is a specialist at working with individuals where clear/ “textbook” diagnoses are not always apparent, and where “a cookie-cutter” approach to treatment simply is not going to work.
J CanderliaAlameda
Elizabeth is an incredible counselor. My husband and I started couples therapy with her a few years ago, and we presently enjoy a very happy, stable, honest, trusting and loving relationship – so much so that we are cutting back on our sessions in preparation for ending them altogether.
Macky B.Alameda
Elizabeth doesn’t want you to be in therapy forever. She will listen to you, help you process how you arrived in this place and work with you to attain the coping skills you need to move forward. Elizabeth is action-oriented which is the quality I appreciated most about her. Working with her gave me hope and taught me the crucial coping skills I needed.
Ashley W.Oakland
I am finding my confidence again and most importantly, the ability to calm my racing thoughts in the face of adversity and stress at my job.
Laurie B.Alameda
I would highly recommend East Bay Center for Anxiety. All of my experiences were exemplary. My anxiety issues were brought under control without the need for medication, using Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT). My marriage was brought back from the brink. I do really think Elizabeth helped to save my marriage and bring me closer and more connected to my wife than ever before. She was always open, supportive, fair, generous with her time, and flexible with her schedule.
Jason T.Alameda
Since working with you, I have learned to use two great tools to help me make important and sound decisions in my life to move forward. I wish I had known about these tools in the past when I felt stuck. I no longer feel this way and able to move pass the obstacles. You have changed my life. Thank you.

Where do I start about Elizabeth? First off, she's been my go to therapist intermittently for over two decades. Whether guiding me through difficult transitions, checking in on specific issues that come up, healing trauma or helping me find my purpose in life, she's been there for it all. Elizabeth combines compassion, insight, knowledge and focus to her therapy style. If you're willing to show up and do the work, much will be accomplished with her. She gives you a safe place to unload, feel and unleash emotions while still being solution based. Her expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy allows her to give you the skills to reframe your thinking and difficult experiences, thus changing your life. If you want results, her guidance brings just that. My personal gratitude to her is endless. And I cannot recommend her enough as a counselor and human.
Christina K.Bloomfield, NJ
Amisha is a wonderful therapist who approaches each patient with empathy, understanding, and deep insight. She adjusts her treatment plan as she gets to know you and sees what methods resonate with you the most. I highly recommend the east bay center for anxiety relief as their practice looks to solve and work through the issues at hand and help their patients move on.
Eve W.Alameda
When I confronted the experience that I couldn't share with anyone, she held the hand of my heart, ensuring that I wasn't afraid. She continued to support me until I no longer feared the trauma completely.
Now, I no longer think of the world as solely cold. I no longer believe that people only care about themselves. Through her, I have felt and understood that people can be a source of help for one another, and just knowing that has made the world appear more hopeful and brighter to me.
Thank you, Vilma. I wanted to express my gratitude properly to you, but my words fall short, and I couldn't express my thanks adequately.
Hain L.Irvine
My self-esteem has greatly improved and I'm more at peace with myself than I've been in a very long time. I've plugged in to community support. Elizabeth is a true gem of a therapist.
