Professional statement

Brigid Oram is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Los Altos, CA. Brigid specializes in working with individuals who have a trauma history, including traumatic experiences or distressing situations. This trauma often results in feeling overwhelmingly sad, panicking in everyday situations, having conflict with loved ones, or having a low mood. Brigid works with clients to support personal growth and move towards feeling happier and more comfortable while developing a sense of fulfillment in their lives.

Brigid is a strengths-based therapist, which means that she believes in the power of using each client’s unique strengths as a stepping stone towards better mental health. She helps clients take a look at their connections with others -- including their attachment to loved ones such as parents -- and how these patterns play out. Her background includes experience in psychopharmacology, neuroscience, language-based learning differences, and ADHD. She brings a trauma-informed approach to all sessions with clients to establish a safe, secure environment for conversation.

Brigid is seeing clients in-person, following all county safety guidelines, and virtually. She is a warm, compassionate therapist who enjoys collaborating with her clients. She believes that everyone has the power to take charge of their emotional wellbeing and offers clients the tools needed for introspection and action.


Message to clients

Hello! I work with adults and adolescents that are feeling stressed, sad or anxious in life, relationships, school or work. I work with families to increase effective communication, resolve conflict, provide parenting support and experience more positive interactions and relationships with each other. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to address tough situations and individual challenges. I believe that there is no one approach that works best, but rather use a variety of research-based therapeutic interventions tailored to each individual situation. I love getting to know people and, together, finding strength, hope and strategies to cope with whatever life is dealing out.

I know that searching for a therapist can feel strange and sometimes stressful. I am happy to talk with you to answer any questions you may have and help you find the support you need. Please contact me to set up a time to talk and we can go from there. There is never an obligation and I am happy to provide additional resources if you are looking for a specific type of support.
