“I appreciate the safe space Kona has created for our sessions and the fact that she is solution oriented. I have worked with two therapists previously and feel that Kona's approach stands out. Most of all, it's apparent that she cares about what she does and as a client, it's reassuring.”

Getting to know Kona M Gleitsman
After earning my undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley, I spent years traveling the world before earning two Master’s degrees, the second from Northcentral University in Marriage and Family Therapy I have worked as a therapist for nearly five years and as a counselor with children, adolescents, and families for over 15 years After my first graduate school, I built my own academic counseling business, fostering strong relationships with families and the community This experience with hundreds of local families gave me insight into the power of supportive, goal-oriented, client-centered relationships as catalysts for change in individuals and relational systems I have clinical expertise working with children, adolescents, and couples both individually and in family groups I have experience with at-risk and high-need populations from diverse demographics and maintain a high level of cultural competency I am skilled in diagnosis, case conceptualization, and treatment, with experience addressing trauma, severe mental illness, and addiction I am a credentialed Triple P parenting provider, and my clinical orientation includes solution-focused, CBT, trauma-informed, recovery, and mindfulness models My therapeutic practice began as a school counselor, working with children and families affected by immigration stressors, gang violence, mental health and substance use issues, poverty, domestic violence, cultural conflicts, and other risk factors I have worked with families referred by Child Welfare Services for abuse and neglect and have experience with a wide range of diagnoses and treatments I am comfortable working with clients from all walks of life—from high-functioning, mentally stable clients with insight to those with severe diagnoses or multiple risk factors I believe clients are capable and valuable, and with my support in identifying their strengths and resources, they can gain skills and achieve goals that instill hope and enable them to move forward successfully.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I approach my clients with the belief that they are capable and valuable; with my support in identifying their strengths and resources, both internal and external, I believe they can gain skills and achieve goals that instill a sense of hope, which enables them to move forward successfully. We will work together to identify challenges, set goals, and take practical steps to achieve those goals.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
