About
Dr. Saundra Taulbee listens for both the spoken and unspoken elements of a person’s struggle as well as the hopes that have yet to be realized. She partners with clients to identify root causes and triggers that interfere with inner peace and healthy relationships, addressing concerns such as addictions, bipolar and other mood disorders, ADHD, depression, codependency and low self-esteem, PTSD, anger management and conflict avoidance, emotional and sexual intimacy problems in marriage, parenting and family conflicts, grief, sleep difficulties, and a range of life stressors.
Working collaboratively, Dr. Taulbee guides clients through resolving the issues they bring so they can move toward greater satisfaction and personal transformation. Her approach is rooted in psychoanalytic theory while integrating cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral techniques as appropriate, and she assesses when medication may be a helpful adjunct to talk therapy.
She brings 43 years of clinical experience across private practice and the mental health system. Her clinical training includes a Doctor of Mental Health in Psychiatry from UCSF Medical Center and a three-year residency that rotated through the crisis clinic and inpatient and outpatient psychiatric units at Mount Zion Hospital and Langley Porter Hospital in San Francisco. That training shaped her understanding of the mind-body relationship and her skills in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Dr. Taulbee also holds a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary and practices with a Christian, biblically based worldview. She is attentive to spiritual concerns without proselytizing and welcomes clients whether or not they hold a religious affiliation. Those who choose to work with her gain an ally in recovery who is authentic, transparent, and committed to supporting them through the course of treatment.
She is licensed in California as a Marriage and Family Therapist, holding license number CA LMFT 16887. In addition to clinical work, Dr. Taulbee is the author of the second edition of You Can’t Heal A Wound By Saying It’s Not There, a book that presents case histories of nine patients who granted permission to share their stories alongside reflections from the author’s own life about overcoming common struggles.
Dr. Taulbee invites individuals ready to begin a journey of addressing the past and embracing their future to consider working with her.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?
For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people. This parity in outcomes makes remote care a viable option for those seeking support.
The flexibility of online work is a major benefit. Individuals can choose the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from a preferred location.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, the combination of evidence-based approaches and flexible access makes online therapy a practical and effective route to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
