BECOMING THE FEMALE HUNTER: THE MODERN WOMAN'S GUIDE TO INNER HEALING AND LASTING LOVE (available on Amazon, Kindle, & Audible), written by Fellana L. Randall, LMFT, is a journey toward self-discovery. It’s a survival guide for those who identify as women navigating our modern world of love and romance with men. It challenges you to reflect on what kind of energy you may be inviting into your love life and what behaviors may be reinforcing negative patterns. Fellana's goal is to help you overcome insecurities, improve your sense of self-worth, and harness the power of your sexual energy to truly feel evolved—in work, relationships, and life. I offer couples therapy, relationship counseling, marriage counseling, and LGBTQ therapy in Oakland, CA, providing a safe and supportive space for individuals and partners to navigate challenges, build deeper connections, and create fulfilling relationships. MEET KIRA B. HARLAND, AMFT... When you meet Kira, you can immediately feel her warmth. Supervised by Fellana L. Randall, LMFT, Kira specializes in play-based therapies for developmentally appropriate skill building to enhance children's emotional growth with her counseling in Oakland, CA. Expressive methods that utilize play, puppets, figurines, and art, elicit deeper understanding of the self, create stronger connections within the family, and produce long-lasting outcomes, so she's all about experiential learning! Kira primarily serves Black, Latine, and immigrant populations who not only struggle with common challenges like ADHD, Autism, Oppositional Defiance, school refusal, emotional outbursts, and divorce, but also experience racism and intergenerational trauma. As a queer person from a culturally religious minority, she knows how important it is to feel understood in therapy, so she provides a welcoming, trauma-informed approach to child, adult, couples, family, and LGBTQ therapy. Her goal is to help empower your family to make insights, develop skills, and move forward toward a happier, healthier future!
