Anna Mikuriya Jungherr, LCSW
WELCOME
I am glad that you found your way here. These are introspective times ripe with opportunity for personal growth.
Taking steps towards focusing on self can feel overwhelming as well as exciting. In our sessions, you will have the space to talk about things that may be weighing heavily on you. The ability to talk freely with someone who is outside your personal realm can be a life changing gift to self. I will assist you in identifying strengths, supportive strategies, and tools with the goal of improving your day-to-day functioning. We can also consider how time outdoors together may be included with your individualized plan for therapy. We may walk together, hike together, share a blanket at the beach or park. I am here to listen.
New Groove Therapy is an Oakland based outdoor and virtual therapy practice. I am mobile and have identified a number of outdoor locations where we can safely meet with opportunities for privacy. I am excited to offer the flexibility of spending time outdoors with you as well as convenient virtual appointments via my secure tele-therapy portal.

I am a Black, Latinx, queer, female identified therapist (preferred pronouns: she/her/hers).
I grew up in San Francisco and have spent most of my adult life living in the East Bay. My roots are with the Bay and her people.
After several years in a variety of rewarding settings, I am very excited to have launched New Groove Therapy! I have expanded my practice to include outdoor therapy options. So often, I talk to my people about their connection with spending time outdoors, I am joyed to have the ability to incorporate being outdoors together as a part of your therapy experience.
