Delilah Raybee, LMFT

Welcome

I help individuals, couples, and families experiencing life changes, suffering a loss, or needing relationship support.​

Whatever your current challenges, working with a somatic therapist can help you get in touch with your body—a rich source of information, which has the ability to support you in achieving greater ease in difficult situations or relationships.

Therapy with me is a safe container for all that may arise as you journey back to yourself, starting with your body.

I believe that when each of us heals ourself, it has ripple effects out to families, communities and ultimately to the world.

I incorporate multiple somatic modalities and approaches, including EMDR. 

About me

I've had a life-long interest in health, wellness, and creating a more connected, sustainable world.

I began my career in nonprofit management.  After becoming a parent, I switched careers, to work with individuals and groups (including couples and families) helping them access their own healing potential. 

From 2012 to 2015, I completed a three-year program of study at the Berkeley Institute of Homeopathy. There, I began my development as a clinician, working one-on-one or with small groups or families. I have been a certified clinical homeopath since 2015.  

In 2021, I was awarded a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, Concentration in Somatic Psychology, from California Institute of Integral Studies. I completed post-graduate training at the Center for Somatic Psychotherapy and saw clients under supervision at the Albany Unified School District (grades K-5), Blackbird Institute, Bay Area Community Counseling, Impact Counseling Group, and Revive Health Therapy.  I received my license as a Calfornia Marriage and Family Therapist in 2026.

I offer therapy in-person in my office in the Temsescal neighborhood of Oakland, or online via Zoom. 

Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy is a journey back to yourself, starting with your body.

Like all therapy, somatic therapy starts where you are. Whether you are someone with a high degree of body awareness, or you are alienated from your body and may not even realize it, somatic therapy can help you. 

Often, traumatic events or a lifetime of uncomfortable emotions can disconnect us from our bodies, aka make us become ‘dissociated’. Many people, without even knowing it, need guidance to learn how to access the body’s wisdom to heal emotional wounds. 

In a comfortable, supportive environment we will begin to explore together what happens to your emotional state when you pay attention to your body. When you start to notice your thoughts, emotions, images, and sensations that arise with a sense of curiosity instead of judgment, you learn kinder ways to treat yourself and healthier ways to interact with the world. 

When your body is a resource to you, it’s harder to get swept away by anxious, fearful or angry thoughts or emotions. Somatic therapy can help you transform negative thought loops into useful information that you can work with in your daily life. Over time, you can learn to take a breath and respond to challenges while feeling more grounded and connected to yourself and others.

Couples Therapy

Couples seek therapy to work on communication issues, or following an affair, infidelity, or other rupture in your intimate relationship. My work with couples combines the Gottman-method research-based interventions with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and somatic practices. Our work will help you and your partner be present in the moment, shift from conflict towards repair and understanding, and  move towards growth. 

Maybe your fights seem to come out of nowhere, or go around in circles and never feel resolved. Maybe you and your partner have been together for some time but have lost that early feeling of connection and spark. You want relief from the conflict, better communication tools, and a desire for more connection with your partner. 

Somatic therapy is an alternative to talk therapy that gets you out of your thinking mind and into your feeling body. In the safety of the therapy space, you can co-create a new vision for a healthier relationship.

Following infidelity or other rupture to your former intimacy, you and your partner may be wondering what to do. A difficult disclosure brings pain, sadness and anger. It can also be a relief from wondering and question marks. With support of therapy, you can build a new relationship based on honesty, transparency, and an updated understanding of yourself and your partner.

If you would like to pursue couples therapy, please contact me. 

Children and Families

To engage with children ages five and up, I use play-based therapy. Play helps children process emotions and life events or transitions. For teens, I also offer talk therapy and somatic therapy.  

In addition, I work with families to help improve communication, reduce conflicts, and enable each member of the family to have their needs met. Therapy can increase harmony and joy in daily interactions and on family trips , and when confronted with loss, separation, or other obstacles or life changes.  Family therapy can also help adults who no longer live together but who want to heal from difficult experiences and improve their relationships.  

I would love to help your family. Please contact me.

​Schedule and Fees 

Therapy works best with regular, weekly appointments.  

My fee is $200 per session for individuals and $250 for couples. You will receive a "good faith estimate" of expected fees for services.  I can provide you a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. We can discuss scheduling, sliding scale needs and any other questions in our initial phone call.

I see clients in person at my office at the corner of 49th Street and Telegraph Avenue, in the Temescal neighborhood of Oakland, California.  I also offer therapy via telehealth for all California residents.​
