Therapists in Parkside, San Francisco, CA

Something is troubling you. What you can gain from greater self-awareness, understanding and true compassion for yourself can be extraordinary. Our conversations will help you overcome the obstacles to accessing the resources you already possess and developing those that are yet to come forth. Whether you suffer from anxiety, difficult grief or loss, creative blocks, or under-utilization of your full potential, talking to a non-judgmental professional listener can help.

I offer psychotherapy for adults, kids, teens, couples and families. I support each client to explore what their needs and feelings are in a safe and supportive relationship. I have specialized training in Somatic Experiencing & Mindfulness tools to help relieve symptoms of trauma and anxiety.

Taking the first step to find a therapist already suggests that you are motivated and hopeful that things can get better. And they can. Sometimes we need professional guidance and support to help us find our way; to learn how to have the experiences we long for, but feel out of reach. I can offer you a safe place where even the most confusing and difficult issues can be met with understanding and insight. I offer all of my clients a calm presence, filled with warmth and compassion.

Therapeutic relationships can truly be life changing and transformational. The issues that are leading you to think about therapy can be worked on, leading to increased satisfaction and joy with yourself, improved relationships with others, and enhanced functioning in pursuit of the life you want. I work collaboratively with you to help you develop more flexible responses to resolve conflict. Listening to your unique story with deep curiosity is crucial to our work, but I'm also pro-active and engaged in sharing my thoughts and observations. Kindness and compassion are vital, but so too are active help and feedback.

I enjoy supporting my clients' curiosity to uncover and explore what contributes to who they are and how they connect with the people in their lives. I work especially well with traumatic experiences, troubled upbringing, grief and anxiety. If you want to understand or change the way you relate to yourself, your story and the world and maybe are longing for a more authentic self expression and acceptance or sense of iner strength, we might be a good fit. I believe that sustainable change happens from the inside and you have the capacity to create this change.

Experiencing anxiety, fear, anger, and sadness is a natural part of being human. How you respond to these emotions is what makes all the difference and can dictate whether you sink and struggle or thrive and grow. Amazingly, it is by facing and bringing love to what you wish you could 'get rid of' that allows parts of you to transform and metabolize into the power and grace you long to feel. My job is to help you navigate this journey and learn the skills to be your own captain; to help you see how much choice you actually have.

You deserve to be heard. My specialties include connecting with strong willed teens, healing family conflicts and helping adults translate pain and difficulty into opportunities for transformation. I have a particular interest in the enhanced opportunity for change and growth that come from big developmental transitions such as adolescence, becoming an adult and becoming a parent. My style is warm, active and solution oriented.

Hi, I'm Jodee. Do you struggle with intimate relationships? Are you highly critical of yourself? Do you have difficulty implementing change in your life?

If you've stumbled upon this page I imagine that you're trying to find a therapist that you feel like you can talk to, someone who will understand you. From this page and my website, I hope you can get a feel for me and how I work. I see psychotherapy as a place where you get to express yourself as freely as possible within the context of a trusting and supportive relationship.

You’re in the right place if… You don’t have the community you’d like. You don’t feel trusting of others. Your anger scares you. You don’t feel seen in your relationships. You find yourself prioritizing others above yourself. You’re attracted to the same type of person, over and over. This doesn’t make you ‘less than’. I’m here to create a warm, open space for us to explore these aspects of your life.

Alik Segal, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am committed to helping people have better relationships. I love working with couples and parenting issues because people are not to be alone. Parenting is a lifelong journey and can be improved not just for young and middle-aged parents with minor children, but also for adult children with aging parents. I work on these issues with individuals, couples, and families.
