Thought Life
What you believe about the world determines the way you live your life! - AW Tozer
What you believe about yourself defines and shapes all of your relationships! - John Kane
Thoughts are the fuel of your soul. When you have negative beliefs about yourself, compulsive addictive cravings, fear filled thoughts, trauma memories, unforgiveness, or any other kind of obsessive or compulsive thoughts, they derail your relationships, your well being, and the trajectory of your life. At Growth and Change Counseling you will learn how to take control and transform your thought life into a life fulfilling world view that will enable you to experience fulfilling and healthy relationships, an authentic view of self, and greater satisfaction in your life.
Relationships
You are a relational being, wired for healthy relationship. The more relationally healthy people are, the less anxious, addicted, and depressed they are. Have you noticed that anxious, depressed, and addicted people isolate? Because they are pulling away from relationships, it hurts too much, its easier. And they get more mentally unwell, because our mental health problems are rooted in the breakdown of our relationships or the lack of relational intelligence.
– John Kane
Purpose
Happiness is a very poor measurement of a well lived life. Satisfaction and fulfillment are much better measurements of a well lived life. There are many people who have suffered greatly and yet have turned life into a beautiful tapestry. They might not tell you they are happy, but they will tell you they are satisfied and fulfilled. Keep in mind, meaningless does not come from being tired of pain, it comes from being tired of pleasure.
- Ravi Z

John Mark Kane, LMFT #134414
Therapy is in my blood; it's the way I can help and love people. I am a relationship therapist providing Marriage Counseling and Family Therapy to San Jose and Campbell, CA. I've witnessed human suffering all around me since I was young. These experiences have shaped my life, challenging me to explore the human experience and how to help people live healthy, fulfilled, and godly lives. My diverse interests in counseling, psychology, philosophy, wilderness therapy, theology, and experiential living contribute to my unique approach to coaching and therapy in Campbell and San Jose.
Relationships are one of the most important aspects of my life. I treasure my relationship with God, with my wife, and my kids. I've come to realize that challenges in relationships are at the center of most of our problems, whether it be anxiety, depression, family conflicts, or marriage conflicts. I am passionate about helping people to have the marriage and family relationships they long for because I believe that we are relational beings that can be made whole when we have healthy intimacy with others.
I am passionate about helping people to have the couples and family relationships that they long for because I believe that we are relational beings that can be made whole when we have healthy connection to others.
I believe that therapy is a safe space for people to be whoever they are right now, no matter how bad they feel about themselves or their lives. It is in this place of vulnerability that we can admit our struggles, face our true selves, and then grow to become all that we are meant to be!
I believe in the inherent value of human life. No matter what your struggle, background, belief system, or things you have done, you are inherently valuable, and with me, you will find a safe place to work on yourself or your family.
Experience
I have a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Western Seminary in San Jose CA. I am available to provide individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, child and adolescent therapy, and parent coaching in both Campbell and San Jose. Prior to obtaining my Master's degree, I had been serving Campbell and San Jose as a Mental Health Coach for over 10 years. I also have the unique experience of obtaining an undergraduate degree in Recreation and specializing in Wilderness Therapy and Adventure Programming. I lived outside in the woods for two years, working with emotionally disturbed boys.
I have experience working with individuals, couples, children, and families in Campbell and San Jose, CA. I am passionate about empowering healthy relationships between friends, lovers, and families. I take a practical and integrated approach to therapy, using skill-building interventions and techniques from science, psychology, and the Christian faith. I believe in addressing the needs of the whole person, and that requires blending different viewpoints and creating a unique approach to therapy for each individual, couple, family, or parent.
I spent my formative years living in countries in Southeast Asia, which gave me firsthand experience of living in different cultures and going through transitions and adjustments between cultures and nations. I have a personal understanding of the needs of expatriates, missionaries, and third culture kids (TCKs).
Growth and Change Counseling is a group relationship counseling practice offering marriage counseling and parent coaching to Campbell and San Jose. People come to us because they hear that people experience real change and growth when they come to our practice.

All of our practitioners are trained in the same foundational approach so that regardless of which therapist you end up working with, you can be confident that you are getting the same standard of care for which we have become known.
I specialize in working with individuals, couples, parents, families, teenagers, pastors and their families, cross-cultural workers, TCKs, and Christians, but I can work with you without any difficulty if you come from a different faith or belief system. Many of the skills I use in coaching have universal application, and you too can experience improvements and significant growth in your marriage and family relationships and life!
We help individuals, couples, parents, Pastors and their families, and people in cross-cultural settings work through their challenges so they can experience personal renewal and healing in their relationships (with God, family, friends, children, and other people).
We understand the unique stressors and hardships that people deal with in their relationships with family, friends, coworkers, and cross-cultural settings! Your well-being is my ultimate concern.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs….1 Cor 13:4-6
I am hardwired as a therapist through training and life experience. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist serving Campbell and San Jose CA because I know that even the most difficult relationships can be put back together. I know because, among other reasons, I've been through it. I've been married, divorced, and widowed. I have 4 wonderful children and 7 grandchildren. In the midst of life's suffering, I discovered joy. In the midst of relational pain, I've seen its beauty.
But the reason I am able to come alongside you and support your growth is that in the process I developed relational intelligence. At Growth and Change Counseling, we have a foundational process that we take couples, individuals, addicts, and parents through. This process is tailored to the situation that you are dealing with and helps you develop the relational intelligence to put your relationships and mental health back together.
Whether you experience anxiety, depression, or conflict in your marriage or parent-child relationships; I can help you! I'm here to help in your journey of healing and restoration! Therapy can be that safe space you've been looking for in which you can openly unload your heart and experience non-judgmental support and genuine connection. Together we can explore where you currently are, what you would like your future to look like, and how we can work together to help you get there.
I know it is important for you to find a therapist in Campbell and San Jose CA you can connect and work well with. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California and Michigan. I am South African and bilingual in Afrikaans. My educational background includes a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. - CS Lewis
Jamula Taylor LMFT #129183
I am Jamula (Jamalah) Taylor; a woman, a mother, and a therapist. I became a therapist to help people who look like me to be okay with being vulnerable and to support their healing. I want you to know that your past doesn't define your present or your future. It was Vivekananda who wrote, "Whatever we are now, is the result of our acts and thoughts of the past; and whatever we shall be in the future, will be the result of what we think and do now."
I am a member of Growth and Change Counseling, offering mental health services in Campbell, CA and San Jose, CA. We understand that our mental health conditions are related to the breakdown in our relationships and that we can't simply make depression, anxiety, or other problems go away by simply treating the symptoms. We have to get down to the roots of the problems in order to help people effectively heal. This means that "sometimes the best thing may be the hardest thing for you to do." But it is in our discomfort that we find the strength for the greatest growth and change in our lives!
I am here to walk alongside you on your journey of healing. At Growth and Change, we have a foundational approach we take all of our clients through, regardless of which therapist you work with. It is this foundation that gives us our reputation that people experience real help real quick. There is no problem I am not willing and able to face with you. Have the courage to take the next step; remember, courage is not the absence of fear but taking action in spite of our fear. Call me, it starts with a conversation!
Arione Capolupo, LMFT #39729
Have you thought "I don't fit in" or "nobody cares what I think or listens to me!" or "Why do I stress out all the time?" I've been there too. It's a struggle in the very core of your belief system, and with help, you can heal. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, or what you believe, I can come alongside you and help you on your healing journey, not just because I know how to, but because I have also experienced the healing myself.
You matter in life because you are human and precious. I want to help you experience wholeness so that you can be satisfied in your life and confident to face any challenge and grow through it.
Therapy is in my blood. It's something I have pursued with passion since I was a child. I take a very hands-on and eclectic approach (i.e., integrating from multiple theories and strategies to personalize to your needs).
I provide you with relational homework and skills to integrate into your life between sessions; this is where you will take what is learned in session and flesh it out in daily life. In this process, you will learn how to shape your destiny instead of being defined by your past. I am a member of Growth and Change Counseling, offering various mental health services in Campbell, CA and San Jose, CA. I integrate the Growth and Change foundational approach into our therapy sessions; it's what gives us our reputation for meaningful results quickly.
It allows us to establish a standard of care so that you can know that regardless of which therapist you work with at Growth and Change Counseling, you are getting the same foundation that has given us our reputation for producing real change quickly and effectively! People come to us for many reasons, but they stay because they like our methods and get results. We don't believe in endless therapy. Our goal is to get you in and out as quickly as reasonably can be done and do it in a way that hopefully you will never need to come back!
My professional experience:
I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from San Diego State and a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Chapman University. I am a specialist with years of experience working with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and I have specialized training in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). I also specialize in working with individuals around issues such as anxiety, depression, and anger management. I work with couples and with parents dealing with child behavioral concerns. At Growth and Change Counseling, we treat everything, and we want you to know that we have the knowledge and experience to support you.
April Silva, LMFT #142789
I am a relationships-oriented therapist aggressively committed to helping you uncover the underlying causes of anxiety and depression and support you in building the skills to increase communication, connection, and find satisfaction in your relationships. In this process, I will help you to uncover and address the underlying anger that feeds the anxiety and depression. In cases of PTSD, I will help you uncover the underlying defenses that protected you through a traumatic experience but now are interfering with your ability to move forward in intimacy.
My approach: I am an experienced specialist in trauma care, including complex trauma and dissociation, and love helping clients heal. I treat the whole person utilizing aspects of many theories and strategies. Some of the theories and strategies I like to use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, somatic therapy, and EMDR. Through this process together, you will learn tools and principles of life that will empower you with increased relational intelligence that will give you confidence and cultivate a renewed sense of purpose and well-being.
There is no mountain too high to be climbed, no obstacle too difficult to face. There is hope, and whatever your situation, I would be honored to face it with you.
Stephanie Hayes AMFT #145271
Hi, I'm Stephanie Hayes, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist serving Campbell CA and San Jose, CA.
In life, we sometimes find ourselves in dark and lonely tunnels, with no end in sight. I want you to know that there is hope, and I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing. As a nurse who came to the therapy field through an unconventional path, I believe that some of the most profound healing experiences are not physical but psychological and relational. While physical healing relates to our body’s functioning, psychological and relational healing touches the very core of our identity, satisfaction, and fulfillment in life. Even if my body is broken, my spirit can still thrive with satisfaction and fulfillment. But if my spirit is broken, my physical health becomes far less significant. Charles Stanley once said, "It is not the trials in your life that develop or destroy you, but rather your response to those hardships."
If your spirit is wounded, or you're struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, or relational challenges, I would love to come alongside you and offer support. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in Campbell CA and San Jose CA, I believe that even the most broken relationships can be restored. If you are in a dark place, wondering if there is hope, wondering if redemption is possible—it is. Together, we can start to piece things back together.
Call me today so we can discuss your needs. I work with individuals, couples, and families, including parents and children. I treat anxiety, depression, addiction, sex addiction, infidelity, anger management, ADHD, ODD, Asperger’s, ASD, communication issues, and grief. I am supervised by John Mark Kane, LMFT 134414, and am a member of Growth and Change Counseling.
Services

We have over 13 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families to achieve happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. We specialize in the following areas:
Specialties​
Conflict is a pathway to intimacy. If there's no conflict in a relationship, at least one person isn't being genuine. As therapists in Campbell, CA, we will provide support as you develop the relational intelligence needed for a meaningful and satisfying relationship. Let's embark on this journey of growth together.
We specialize in helping parents and teenagers strengthen their relationship by empowering parents to ensure the safety and well-being of their teens while supporting the teens' personal growth. Whether it's anger, addiction, self-harm, depression, anxiety, ADHD, or any other challenge, we are here to help with our mental health services in Campbell.
Whether you're dissatisfied with your current job or facing a career roadblock, work should be a fulfilling part of your life. As career counselors in Campbell, CA, in the heart of Silicon Valley, we are here to guide you in discovering your next step, leading to a career that brings you satisfaction and purpose. Let's find your path together.
When does porn become an addiction? And why is it so prevalent? We guide you through the chemistry of sex, helping you understand the biochemical effects of pornography on your body, relationships, and long-term goals. If you're ready for change, we are here to show you the way with our specialized therapy in Campbell.
When we experience trauma, we yearn for justice that often eludes us. Fear and withdrawal take hold, leading to isolation and depression. It's time to break free from the chains of trauma. Contact us to learn more about our approach to trauma therapy in Campbell and begin the journey toward healing.
Anxiety often stems from dysfunctional relationships. When we experience hurt or a lack of safety, anxiety arises as a fear of further injury or negative outcomes. We want to help you break free from this cycle of anxiety and isolation. Reach out to us and start your journey toward freedom with our anxiety treatment in Campbell.
Neuro-diverse couples involve at least one partner with Aspergers or High Functioning ASD. These couples face unique challenges that require specific attention. But there is hope! Reach out to us, and together we'll navigate these challenges and build a strong and fulfilling relationship through our couples counseling in Campbell, CA.
Your beliefs about the world and yourself shape your life and relationships. Through existential counseling, we walk alongside you as you explore and develop your own worldview, finding satisfaction and purpose in your life. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery together with our holistic psychotherapy approach in Campbell.
School trauma is a real issue, often evident through school refusal or behavioral problems. Don't ignore the signs. There's so much we can do to help children with ADHD, ODD, Aspergers, anger, or frustration. It's time to try something new and seek professional help. We know from first hand experience the trauma many children in the Santa Clara County school system have experienced and understand the challenges faced by many Silicon Valley parents! Call us and let's make a positive change with our child therapy services in Campbell.
"I've been taking depression medication for 20 years, so why am I still depressed?" If the underlying causes of depression aren't addressed, it tends to persist. Depression often stems from unresolved anger or rage, which in turn results from dysfunctional relationships. Don't let depression control your life. Contact us today for depression treatment in Campbell.
From birth through adolescence and beyond, we work closely with parents and children to address behavioral, emotional, ADHD, Aspergers, defiance, and school refusal issues. Using a relationship-focused approach, we specialize in helping families overcome challenging obstacles. Let's conquer these challenges together with our family therapy services in Campbell.
Anger management therapy goes beyond classes. Together, we'll delve into the root causes of your anger and work side by side to dislodge it and effectively deal with it. By addressing the underlying rage and dysfunction in our relationships, we can find healing and regain control. Let's tackle it together with our anger management therapy in Campbell, CA!
Individuals with Aspergers, now referred to as high functioning autism, possess great intelligence and analytical skills. With the right support, they can develop the social intelligence necessary for healthy relationships as spouses, partners, parents, lovers, and more. Contact us today for a free consultation on our specialized therapy for Aspergers in Campbell.
Family is the fundamental unit of society across cultures and religions. However, when conflicts and poor communication arise, family life can become difficult. As a family counselor in Campbell, we are here to support your family in learning healthy conflict resolution and relationship principles. Give us a call to get started with our family therapy services.
Acute stress can lead to isolation, depression, anxiety, and physical health problems. Sometimes, an external perspective can shed light on the challenges you're facing. As someone outside your immediate stressors, we can offer insights that you may not see. Reach out to us for support in navigating your stress with our stress management services in Campbell.
Silicon Valley Parents often judge themselves too harshly, even though they usually have more successes than failures. We are here to come alongside parents, offering support and guidance in building a strong relational connection with their children and meeting their emotional needs. Let's work together to address any acting-out behaviors with our parent coaching services in Campbell, CA.
Our therapists are attuned to the unique challenges that couples and parents from Eastern cultures (Indian, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, etc.) face in their relationships because of cultural norms and patterns. Some of these challenges are unique to Indian, Chinese, and other Asian cultures and can be exacerbated by varying levels of adjustment to Western culture within the family system. All of our therapists are trained and equipped to help Silicon Valley Couples and Families navigate those difficulties with sensitivity and effective strategies.
Christian Counseling is one of the most sought-after forms of counseling in the United States today. We are not Christian therapists because of who we treat but because of who we are. C.S. Lewis wrote, "I believe in Christianity like I believe in the sun, not just because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." For those of you looking for Christian Counseling in Campbell CA, we take a Christian Psychology approach in our work with you, and all of our therapists are trained to apply the same foundational approach for all who are seeking Christian Counseling. You can learn more about our brand here and we encourage you to read some of our reviews.
