Luca (zoe) Bartlett

Luca (zoe) Bartlett

Oakland, CA
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT
Luca Zoe Bartlett is a compassionate marriage and family therapist associate dedicated to helping individuals who struggle to present their true selves. Many of these clients have internalized the belief that their identities, experiences, and expressions are unwelcome. They often feel that revealing who they truly are may lead to unsafety, lack of love, or rejection. Consequently, they've learned to conceal, adapt, and blend in, striving for a sense of belonging in various spaces. This exhausting effort to navigate their authentic selves can be overwhelming. In therapy, Luca supports clients in returning to their true identities, acting as a home base while healing from the emotional wounds associated with this chameleon-like existence. He guides clients to explore how their pain intertwines with their experiences of adapting to social expectations. While this exploration may be a prominent aspect of their therapy, Luca also addresses other critical areas such as life transitions, grief, perfectionism, and anxiety. Through collaborative work, clients can achieve a more compassionate understanding of themselves. Therapy with Luca is a safe haven; there’s no need to leave any part of oneself at the door. He warmly welcomes and celebrates every aspect of who the client is, fostering an environment where individuals can truly thrive.
