About Dr. Randi

I provide a deep, collaborative therapeutic process that maps the intersection of mind, body, and spirit. I specialize in assisting those navigating “intense realms”—emotional wounds, trauma, or the profound stressors of high-pressure environments. My work is designed for clients who prioritize spiritual sovereignty and personal growth as a non-negotiable path to wholeness.

Love that is brave, brilliant and sacred

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that the highest form of healing occurs when we dare to love fearlessly with total abandon. This requires a deep and trusting connection with the ability to keep your heart open at your most vulnerable moments. This type of intimacy is the sacred weaving of intellectual depth, spiritual sovereignty, and a raw, primal vitality. When we cultivate this level of presence, intimacy becomes a shared meditation—a conscious resonance where the physical and the transcendent meet. To love with this kind of intensity is to honor the life force that fuels our creativity and our power, transforming a deep, trusting bond into a gateway for mutual evolution. It is to love fearlessly and surrender to ecstasy.

My therapy style

As a therapist, I have deep roots in the worlds of alternative medicine, mindfulness, mysticism, and communication theory. I received my Doctoral education and training from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (ITP), specializing in the optimization of human potential. I have lived and practiced at the junction of psychology, physiology, and mysticism for over 30 years.

By bridging the rigor of Western psychology with the embodied wisdom of Eastern mysticism, I help my clients uncover the “source code” of their suffering. My approach is about sovereign integration—moving from being “shaken” by outdated patterns to becoming the conscious architect of your own reality.

My therapeutic approach

I value potency and resonance over mere information. My basic approach is:

  • Holistic & Somatic: I focus on the whole person—mind, body, emotion, and spirit—ensuring shifts are visceral and permanent.

  • Existential & Depth-Oriented: I am comfortable navigating the “architecture of the void.” I help clients dismantle limiting worldviews to unfold into new possibilities.

  • Strength-Based Resilience: I draw on my “tough as nails” resilience to enhance the qualities that have already seen you through your darkest lessons.

I believe that being human is a practice and that healing and change is always possible. You don’t have to be defined by or unconsciously thrown about by the outdated patterns in your life anymore.

My humor

My two favorite virtues and kindness humor. I’ve written six books, two of which were titled, “Dirty Filthy Jokes” — because one dirty joke book is never enough. Believe it or not, these books were on the New York Times best-seller list. Whether I see you as a patient or a friend you are bound to hear some of this material. In the movie “Steel Magnolias” Dolly Parton said “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.” I love it when my patients belly laugh at my profane humor. Welcome to my world! Where the sacred and the profane do the dance of love.

Bridging psychology and inner wisdom

At San Jose Counseling and Psychotherapy, my job is to help you reclaim your human potency and move toward wholeness. I strive to make my clients feel safe, seen, and appreciated as we navigate the deep work together.

My therapeutic approach

My practice also embraces those who have encountered profound relational trauma—whether through toxic dynamics, spiritual crises, or the unique burdens carried by healers, intercessors, and empaths. I understand how these experiences can fracture one’s sense of safety, identity, and trust. My approach is to meet you in the depths of your story, helping you alchemize even the most harrowing experiences into clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of sovereignty. Together, we’ll navigate the shadows so you can emerge with your power reclaimed and your spirit intact.

My style is a blend of clinical precision and intuitive warmth—an approach rooted in compassion, optimism, and the belief that you possess unlimited potential. I look forward to connecting and witnessing the breakthroughs that await.

 Until then, I wish you safe passage.
