Silicon Valley Psychotherapy
focused on reclaiming connection when performance has replaced presence
We help thoughtful top-tier individuals and couples move from performance to presence—reconnecting with themselves, their relationships, and what actually matters.
Our clients are successful on the outside but often feel stuck or restless inside. They are people who are curious about themselves, want to understand why they think and feel the way they do, and are willing to face uncomfortable truths to grow. Our work is focused on lasting insight, and not quick fixes.
Our practice brings together a rare integration of expertise trauma therapy (EMDR, DBR, Parts), relational therapy (EFT), and sex therapy in a way few practices do. This allows us to address mind, body, and relationships as an interconnected system.
Specializing in Unique People
Serving Palo Alto, Los Altos Hills, Woodside, Atherton, and surrounding Peninsula communities. Sessions are offered via secure telehealth throughout California.
Our Personalized Treatment:
the BeTogether Approach
developed by Nicole Ohebshalom, PhD
At Ohebshalom & Co. Therapy, we use the BeTogether Approach—a comprehensive framework that recognizes you as a whole person, not a collection of separate problems to fix. This approach explores six interconnected dimensions of your life: physical, emotional, relational, intellectual, sexual, and spiritual wellbeing. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, we understand that disconnection in one area creates ripples across all others. When you're physically exhausted, desire disappears. When emotions feel unsafe, relationships stay surface-level. When you've lost meaning, your body holds the grief. The BeTogether Approach helps us identify where disconnection has taken root—revealing specific patterns like the Mind-Body Split or the Intimacy Gap—and then map the most effective entry point for reconnection. From there, we match evidence-based therapeutic modalities to your unique pattern. This creates a truly personalized treatment plan that addresses the whole system, not just isolated symptoms. It's therapy grounded in how you actually live—integrating body, mind, relationships, and purpose into one coherent path forward. Learn more about our approach here.

Trauma therapy/EMDR
Trauma is not defined by an event but by the impact an event has on the person. Trauma comprises our ability to engage with others by replacing patterns of connection with patterns of protection. In EMDR and trauma therapy, the focus is on the individual’s present concerns and symptoms while proposing emotionally charged experiences from the past. This may have a dominating effect on one’s current emotions, sensations, and thoughts. For example “Do you ever feel unlovable, although you have profound love in your life?” EMDR and other trauma therapies processing helps you break through the emotional blocks that may be keeping you from living an adaptive, liberated, and emotionally fulfilling life.

Argue less, experience satisfying physical intimacy, and feel heard, understood, and deeply appreciated by your partner – those are some of the most common goals for couples counseling.

Sex therapy
Sex therapy can help you to have a loving, secure and intimate sexual partnership with yourself and another. Many people have a hard time talking about sex in a vulnerable, direct and authentic manner. Not talking about one’s sexual desires, needs, feeling and issues with sex, prevents people from having intimate, healthy and exciting sex lives. This includes female and male sexual pain and desire difficulties, and pelvic floor dysfunction and sexual dysfunction. Read More
Women’s Therapy
As women, we navigate layers of experience that often go unspoken—the physical realities of our bodies, the weight of invisible labor, the pressure to accommodate while losing our own voice. My work integrates thirty years of mind-body healing, specialized training in trauma therapy, and AASECT certification in sex therapy to address the interconnection between your physical body, emotional experience, and relational life. Whether you're experiencing pelvic pain, navigating perimenopause, carrying the mental load, or reclaiming your capacity to advocate for yourself, this work honors the complexity of women's wellbeing. You don't need to be fixed—you need space to reconnect with yourself, your body, and what genuinely sustains you. Read More.
