HELPING YOU GET YOUR HAPPY ON!

Hi, I’m Dr. Serena Mazzola, a clinical psychologist with two decades of experience helping others learn to live an authentically happy life.  As a mama of two kiddos, two cats, and two dogs, I understand how complicated life can get, but I also know that life is a gift that we can absolutely learn to enjoy.  That’s why I’ve founded two clinics and created two courses (so far) to show you it’s possible to love your life.

My Clinic

Blackhawk Family Development Center

Serving East Bay area families since 2014.

Love the Journey

My philosophy is centered around the fact that there is no dress rehearsal in life.  This is the main act!  The truth is that by leaning in with love we can help you embrace authenticity, conquer mediocrity, and truly love this journey called life.

My Mission

Together, we build resilience, incite change, and fall deeply in love with our wonderful lives.

  • My clinics offer strength-based, and solution focused therapy services for the entire family. 
  • My clinicians lean in with empathy while also maintaining professional poise to assert change in your life. 
  • My courses weave empirically validated interventions with real-life application.

My Approach

  • I am an expert in psychology and therapeutic interventions. You are the expert in your life.
  • An effective game plan must be based on your inherent strengths.
  • Change starts exactly where you are.

Your Outcome

  • Elevate your potential.
  • Fall in love with your family.
  • Write your own life story.
  • Find joy.

My Talks

Resilience. Innovation. Positive Intention.
