Adults Therapists in Financial District, San Francisco, CA

I love my role as a therapist because I witness times of transformation and realization of one's potential to heal and recover from emotional distress. My genuine, non-judgmental, straightforward, and compassionate personality influences greatly my approach to therapy. Together we will build a therapeutic alliance of honesty, respect, and empathy. I am not an expert on your life. The magic comes from building a therapeutic alliance based on honesty, respect, and empathy where you will feel safe and empowered to explore your own solutions and gain a sense of control over your own thoughts, behaviors, and feelings.

Life presents each of us with many unique challenges that can elicit feelings of hopeless, anger, anxiety, and sadness, hurting our relationships with others and our abilities to manage day-to-day issues. Through therapeutic support and guidance, these same challenges can be approached as opportunities for growth and positive change. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment to explore the problems you face and help you find your own unique path toward working through them. My approach is tailored to your individual needs, strengths and abilities. I speak fluent Spanish, and I provide a culturally sensitive environment

I have been working with the adults , parents, and families for over 20 years. I want to provide helping hands through your journey with the goal of you finding your self-worth and self-awareness. Life causes anxiety and frustrations, but with my guidance you will develop and strengthen yourself into a healthy individual. Through practical individual therapy, a change in your relationship will unfold before your eyes. I believe in creating a safe space for a client and taking time for self-care. I have worked with adults and families who've struggled with depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I believe that we have within us the power to create the life we desire. We possess inner strengths and skills that can help us overcome challenges and live a fulfilled life. However, accessing this power can be an overwhelming task that may require support. Allow me to be an unbiased, compassionate partner in your journey. I help individuals explore their thoughts and emotions, reframe distorted beliefs, replace unhealthy patterns and unblock past traumas. Allow me to provide a safe, non-judgmental and conducive space for you to explore, grow and work on becoming the best version of yourself. Ready? Let the healing begin!

I am a clinical health psychologist with advanced training at Harvard Medical School and UCSF offering evidence-based treatments to alleviate distress and increase quality of life across the lifespan. I work in collaboration with adults , adolescents, and children on issues ranging from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and ADHD, to medical issues. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, combining elements from Solution Focused Therapy, Relaxation Therapy, and ACT depending on particular client needs. I want LGBTQ clients to know that I have an affirming practice: I will support couples, families, and transgender people with the dignity and respect they deserve.

First of all, I want to congratulate you on making the decision to start therapy. Unlike what some people believe, that going to therapy implies that you are “weak”, the exact opposite is true. Making the decision to actively look at your life and face and overcome the challenges you are facing takes courage and strength. I specialize in working with mid to high-functioning, young adults / adults , and it is a true pleasure to see more and more people who embrace the idea that therapy is a healthy, proactive way to learn to listen to their heart and take steps to make changes and create lives that they will truly enjoy.

I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults with OCD, anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, panic, and phobias), depression, bipolar, bulimia, and trichotillomania. I have advanced training in CBT and exposure/response prevention for OCD & anxiety disorders, and expertise in habit reversal training for trich/compulsive skin-picking. I also treat hoarding and am able to do home visits, as needed, for those with hoarding and other anxiety disorders that need more exposure practice. In addition, I have an interest in health psychology and enjoy working with people on issues like weight management, smoking cessation, and coping with medical problems.

Therapy is a highly transformative and fascinating process. It has the power to heal, enliven, and repair. I enthusiastically invite you to begin this process with me. My warm, engaging, curious, and playful approach can help you feel like your personal experience and unique point of view is consistently appreciated. From this place, you may begin to feel more empowered and liberated in your life. I am a doctor with over 16 years of professional experience treating adults , couples, and adolescents.

I have been in the helping profession for over 10 years, working with adults using evidence-based and alternative practices. I work under a multicultural and trauma-informed lens that allows me to understand your individual needs and meet you where you are in your journey. Together we will focus on your currents needs and goals to help create trust within the therapeutic relationship. I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

I recognize that seeking therapy is a difficult decision, and I am proud of you for taking the first step! You have already accomplished a big task just by getting started! Sometimes we just need a neutral person to talk to, and I am honored to be that person for you. I have over 10 years of experience working with various populations; teens, at-risk youth, adults , parents/co-parenting, and families. My areas of focus are the following, although not limited to: Depression, Anxiety, Sexual abuse/trauma, Struggles with Sexual Identity, Stress & Burnout, Grief and Loss, Trauma, Relationship Issues, Self-Harm, and Coping Skills.

Seeking treatment can feel vulnerable. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment to empower clients as they confront and process issues creating challenges in their life. I work from a strength-based, person-centered approach to help clients develop skills to implement change and reach their goals. Though I utilize evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solutions-focused therapy, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect in treatment.

My mission is to provide quality culturally sensitive counseling services to individuals and couples to help them achieve a more satisfying life. I believe that everyone intuitively has the tools needed to succeed in therapy. Therefore, my goal is to help clients understand and access their strengths to overcome emotional and mental health barriers that may be hindering them from living a fulfilled life.

I specialize in treating adults in their 20's and 30's. Most of my clients have the things that they believe constitute a good life (secure jobs, close friend groups, active social lives, etc) yet they continue to feel anxious, lost, sad, unfulfilled, burned out, and perplexed by what their purpose on this earth really is. Additionally, many of them experience significant distress caused by an endless drive towards achievement rather than fulfillment and a self-defeating pattern of comparing themselves to others.

I am dedicated to helping young professionals overcome the obstacles standing between them and the lives that they want to live. Many young adults report feeling “stuck” in at least one area of their lives. This can include recurring problematic relationship patterns, difficulty finding motivation at work, or chronic feelings of failure despite their objective success.

I have 16+ years clinical experience and 20+ years counseling experience in working with children, adolescents and adults in the San Francisco Bay Area. My working style is interactive, culturally sensitive, compassionate, problem-solving, and collaborative. I specialize in treating anxiety, stress, life coaching, trauma, attention, self-esteem, motivation, workplace, and personal growth issues.

With genuine positive regard and a creative approach, my practice is committed to fostering awareness, healing and empowerment. The therapeutic relationship ultimately deepens the relationship with oneself and how we navigate challenges in the art of living. I facilitate with getting to the heart of the matter, gleaning meaningful insight, and building upon internal and external strengths. I have worked professionally for over 20 years, supporting a diverse population of hundreds of adults , children, couples and families through and beyond, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, life transitions and relationship difficulties.
