Therapists in San Francisco, CA

You wake up in the morning and immediately want to go back to sleep. You feel overwhelmed and exhausted by everyday microaggressions and outright bigotry. You want acceptance and understanding, but it just seems like nothing will ever change. You feel isolated, anxious, and afraid for the future. If this sounds familiar, I want you to know that you are not alone. Help is available. I specialize in working with clients across the LGBTQAI+ spectrum on issues such as being true to oneself, managing anger, self-harming behaviors, trauma, and neurodiversity.

I believe in the power of change and the positive impact a supportive therapeutic connection can have in promoting growth and transformation. I offer compassionate caring to clients seeking tools for increased coping, greater self-understanding and relief from emotional pain. As a holistic therapist, I will utilize a blend of cognitive and somatic approaches, paying particular attention to breath and mindfulness. I can assist you in self discovery, teach you new tools for self acceptance, and help you build stronger self-esteem, and resiliency.

Do you want to be accepted just as you are rather than shamed or judged? Do you want a safe place to heal from trauma, explore your identity, or learn how to cope with stress? Therapy will give you the tools and resources to recover from trauma, resolve conflict and build intimacy in your relationships, develop effective communication skills, and manage anxiety. A safe therapeutic relationship will help you discover and articulate your authentic self, free of shame and guilt. Therapy can also help you unlearn harmful relationship patterns and be more kind to yourself. You are not alone!

I specialize in working with queer, gay, bisexual, & transgender adults & adolescents in California. I am most passionate about providing advocacy for cultural and economic diversity in our community and serving LGBTQ+ people experiencing depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Engaging in therapy is more important than ever especially in response to our current political climate and recent backlash of conservative values showing incredible disrespect toward the LGBTQ+ community and throwing extra stress at immigrant populations and communities of Color.

People often come to me after trying a lot of different approaches to improve their mental health. Creative people. Queers. Folks with complex identities. Highly sensitive people. People who feel like outsiders at their core. People who feel stuck in ways that are difficult to articulate. Using various therapeutic modalities, including mindfulness, Esalen-trained Gestalt therapy, transpersonal therapy, and somatically informed attachment relational work I help them find ways to feel better and engage with their lives in newer, deeper ways. I assist them in finding a soft place to land and a sense of trust within themselves.

I specialize in the intersection of queer and faith identities, as people don't fit into neat, rigid boxes of gender identity, sexual orientation, and faith. Priscilla also works with religious trauma, navigating Asian American identity, re-authoring historical values and familial beliefs, major life changes, and recovery.

Our mission is to help clients achieve balance and recover from the various issues they may be dealing with, including trauma, addiction, PTSD, and mood disorders.

Jason Murphy, MA, LMFT, is the owner and clinical director of TRT Group and has decades of experience working with a diverse population in various settings.

My ideology is inspired by the juxtaposition of American narratives, originating from the Deep South and Urban Midwest. Growing up in a Pro-Black, Christian Baptist home I learned how gender, sexuality, and white supremacy can greatly affect our culture, happiness and well-being. Early exposure to the mental healthcare system taught me that oppression can be as multi-layered and intersectional as the oppressed, and diagnosis will continue to be an act of oppression if it ignores cultural context, societal phobias, and systemic oppression. For a great number, our mental health is a representation of how we survive our social climate.

Are you ready for the work necessary to make real, enduring change? I work with a variety of matters, ranging from depression and anxiety, to relationship struggles and psychosis. I seek people who are interested in making lasting changes to their inner lives and circumstances. In my practice, I provide you with a place to speak freely, so that through this unique experience of speaking, you can articulate your desire in a new way. I have extensive training and experience working with adults, youth, families and couples. I specialize in providing a place of discovery for people who are queer, trans, and gender expansive.
