Therapists in San Francisco, CA

As a licensed psychologist skilled in providing psychotherapy that addresses the full spectrum of human experience, I collaborate with you to attain healing and resolution of your problems, advance in your growth and transformation, and increasingly realize your potential. I facilitate the integration of your sense of identity, purpose, and values with the way you live your life to endow it with greater authenticity and meaning. As an Episcopal priest and Buddhist practitioner, I foster your spiritual development and worldly integration. In these ways, I assist you in the creation of a more peaceful, happy, and fulfilling life.

Adulting and parenting; the struggle is REAL. You feel like you should have it all together but feel that you are overwhelmed, falling behind and not enough. Family, friendship and intimate partner relationships can be challenging. Career burnout and perfectionism can make it difficult to find a sustained sense of accomplishment, acceptance and joy. Parenting/caregiving is a rollercoaster of emotions, the ultimate balancing act and not showing up the way you want. Transitions are hard and navigating your 20s-30s is more stressful and rocky than you expected. You want to make a change but not sure where to start. Change is possible.

I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients, helping them to become empowered and find a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their lives and relationships. Sometimes in life we feel stuck, lost, or simply want to learn more about ourselves - therapy is here to help you heal and grow. I work with a wide range of issues and a variety of people. People often come to see me when other modalities of therapy haven't worked, such as just talk therapy. My approach is holistic - I use somatic therapy and mindfulness to enrich and diversify your growth. You are the expert in your life and I am here to help guide you back home to yourself.

Accepting new clients. Welcome, I'm Pablo, a Spanish bilingual psychotherapist specializing in supporting gay men in California on their journey towards love, self-discovery, and mental well-being.

I am here to tell you, you are not broken, even if your mind may tell you so. When we are anxious or in despair, we can’t think straight or engage our usual survival strategies. It can impact our health, body, emotions, relationships, perception of self and reality. We can't make sense of the distorted thoughts alone. We need a therapist to help guide us. I often help young women who are feeling shy, anxious, obsessive, depressed, struggling with perfectionism or life transitions. I enjoy helping girls and women achieve developmentally appropriate social-emotional, verbal and non-verbal communication skills.

What do you want to accomplish in therapy? A lot of people want to have less of something: anxiety, depression, anger, relationship conflict, and so forth. This is understandable. When things hurt us and get in our way, even if those things come from inside us, it’s very reasonable to want them to go away. But what if making thing go away has been the problem all along? Can you remember a time in your life when you felt strong, resilient, and resourceful? During this time, was your life free from problems? I’m guessing not. Bu you were probably were moving your feet in the direction of things that mattered to you at the time.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is built from trust and sincerity. My hope is to hold space for a genuine connection that fosters dynamic self reflection.

At Human, my focus is to create a space where my clients feel safe and welcome with all their strengths and weakness and all their experiences - a space where they can just 'be'. Life brings us all kinds of experiences and some of those can be hard to cope with as is.

My passion is to support others in discovering their strengths, values, and how to make change in their relationships, behaviors, and lives.
