Does anyone have a referral for an MD or therapist in the Marin or Sonoma County areas of Northern California?
Are there any sites that give referrals for this part of CA? So far I have found only one MD - in the East Bay area of the Bay Area.
thanks,

Mabbott,
I also found myself in your position. I live on the Penninsula, and found Dr. Fatteh in East Bay as the only listed TMS physician in the area.
I believe that there are many doctors who now claim to be TMS doctors who may, or may not be, associated in any way with Dr. Sarno's intended TMS diagnosis. In one of Dr. Sarno's books, I found a reference to his associate Dr. Marc Sopher, who wrote the book "To Be or Not to Be.. Pain Free". I contacted Dr. Sopher and found him to be very accessible, responsive and helpful as a doctor who could make me feel 100% that the TMS diagnosis was an accurate one for me.
Here is a link to his website and there is contact info there - I found that emailing with him and having a consultation via phone was incredibly helpful for me.

I wish you all the best,

As far as I know Dr. Fatteh (who is probably the one you found) is the only TMS MD currently taking new patients in the Bay Area. Dr. Eisendorf is not taking new patients.
For therapists, see this thread:

I see a Bradshaw-trained therapist that I found through the Berkeley Center for Creative Growth. Their approach is very compatible with TMS. You might check them out and see if you can go there or if they know of therapists up in your area.
