Dr. Nathan Ewigman, PhD

Psychologist
2000 Broadway, Redwood City, CA
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PSY 27570) in California and live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I spent my graduate school days in Gainesville at the University of Florida and finished my training in the VA system in Chicago and San Francisco. After my fellowship in health psychology, I worked with at-risk veterans in hospitals, their homes and SROs (even parks and boats!) on an interdisciplinary team at the VA in San Francisco (our team was highlighted in this book). Then, after about 5 years, I started to feel the call to work with and serve with immigrants as a way to connect with my own values; I was hired at the public hospital in my county - the San Mateo Medical Center. To better connect with and serve a mostly Spanish-speaking population, I learned biofeedback - an intervention that speaks the universal language of stress recovery - as well as how to deliver therapy in Spanish. I am now choosing to turn towards full-time private practice with the intention of embracing a slower, more mindful lifestyle, pursuing new professional projects and honing my therapeutic craft. I feel so deeply satisfied and grateful to work with others as a psychologist whether I am mentoring other professionals or working with patients directly. I treasure therapeutic relationships as well as the trust my patients give me. I’ve also found over the years that taking my own personal work seriously keeps the therapy I deliver fresh ~ being in my own therapy has been part of this journey as has a long-standing meditative practice, learning how to regulate my own stress-related physiology, regularly consuming psychological research, publishing clinically-relevant journal articles and generally staying current with new innovations within my field.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In my Bay Area private practice (which is only on Mondays), I offer both evidence-based therapy, biofeedback (please see my biofeedback page to learn more) and medical hypnosis. While I offer psychotherapy remotely, biofeedback is most effective as an in-person treatment. As a health psychologist and board-certified biofeedback therapist, I have a solid understanding of the interplay between medical / psychophysiological issues and mental health concerns. Also, I have a strong commitment to working with individuals from a diversity of backgrounds and a majority of my practice are immigrants and non-native English speakers. I am a therapist that emphasizes action, curiosity and change; clients that work well with me tend to be open to being challenged and interested in challenging themselves and building new skills. They also tend to be interested, as I am, in defining and measuring progress to make sure they are moving forward in their lives. Ultimately, my goal in improving stress-related problems is to help my patients live lives that hue more closely to deeply held values and get in contact with an unconditional worthiness.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As a specialist in biofeedback, I offer 1-2 sessions of comprehensive stress evaluation which becomes a roadmap for our treatment. For those not wanting biofeedback, we focus on goals for therapy and getting right to work. I have multiple specialized treatments I offer and we'll collaboratively decide how to begin together.
