Female Therapists in Financial District, San Francisco, CA

I have over 10 years experience working with individuals and couples. My area of expertise includes working with ethnic and multicultural population and addressing issues related to couples in inter-racial marriages, struggles with cultural assimilation and family relationship dynamics. I speak 5 languages and I am keenly aware of the specific issues faced by Indian-Americans in particular and Asian Americans and Latinos in general, especially with regards to struggles with personal and cultural identity. I offer brief and long term models of therapy. I also provide tele-therapy (online) in addition to face-to-face counseling.

The past 22 years I've seen an eclectic group of clientele: men, women & couples of any gender/orientation who want to improve their sexual lifestyle. I've helped men overcome ED through increasing their self confidence and women who want to feel more sexually in charge. I've seen over 25,000 couples throughout every stage of their relationship whether single, dating, married, or exploring and experimenting couples to ones who are curious how to stay together and keep the chemistry strong. My clients include stay at home moms, stressed out executives, artists, entrepreneurs & communities: LGBTQ, BDSM, & Transgender Families.

Do you feel trapped by your past and anxious about your future, unable to live in the present? This malaise of modern living is often a sign of past trauma. I can help you uncover the experiences that keep you from living a full and zestful life. My primary focus is with women and parents, particularly those with a history of trauma. In therapy you'll explore the feelings that arise in your body, and notice their links to negative thoughts. You can choose a new and more positive narrative, to look at your life through a different lens.

I specialize in working with underrepresented populations, particularly those who work in tech. This includes people of color, women , LGBTQ folk, first- and second-generation immigrants, and first-generation college students, to name a few. The issues that people commonly come to see me for include depression, anxiety, identity issues, low self-esteem and confidence, work stress, and dating/relationship stress.

**PLEASE NOTE MY PRACTICE IS CURRENTLY FULL AS OF 1/1/22** As a fully licensed Psy.D. Clinical Psychologist, I bring years of experience to the private practice of psychotherapy. Together with you, I help discover patterns, assumptions, conflicts, and internal limitations that are holding you back from a greater sense of happiness, confidence, connection, self-understanding and future direction. My approach is tailored to your specific needs, and I treat root causes, not just symptoms. I work with couples to help move past stuck patterns, while deepening communication and connection.

Accepting new clients* I work with professionals who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, past abuse, attachment disorders, LGBTQI issues, social justice issues, compassion fatigue, as well as women issues. I'm excited to get you to know and help you through the difficulties you are facing. I provide 100% online therapy at the comfort of your own home.

My professional experiences include community mental health, group practice, and residential settings, in addition to providing counselor education, training and consultation. I have direct counseling and management experience working with female -identifying clients struggling with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health symptoms, in addition to working with individuals struggling with depressive symptoms, anxiety spectrum disorders, thought disorders, stress, anger, intimate partner violence, and relationship-expansive individuals.

Are you not feeling like your usual self nowadays? Are stress, work, family pressure, relocation and/or COVID overwhelming? Is there just way too much going on? Are you looking to feel more calm, more relaxed, less upset, and more happy? Sometimes our brain won't turn off and stop worrying, sometimes it is difficult to get out of bed or get a good night's rest, other times it is tough to buckle down and focus. Therapy can help - even if you're not sure how it can. I see mental health as part of one's overall wellness. My approach focuses not just on having fewer negative emotions, but also on experiencing more positive emotions.

You are determined, smart and used to navigating challenges but living life in a pandemic in addition to all the personal stressors is weighing on you. Normally you could handle this yourself or push the worry away but bigger questions are arising and you are left feeling overwhelmed, lost in ambivalence, stressed, and not sure what can help. You feel like your dreams and what you have worked for are slipping away and it's impacting your life & relationships. This may be triggering lots of painful or scary feelings, memories from your past, not feeling like yourself or the idea that now is the time to make real change.

I have particular interest in working with adult women who are dealing with issues around anxiety and self-esteem. I have a few years of experience working with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, sexual trauma, relationship and family difficulties, life transitions, sexual behaviours and substance use. I take into account your life experiences, cultural background and your goals, to be able to tailor therapy that meets your need. I believe informed consent is a continuous process of therapy as we continue to find what’s best suited for you.

In my work with individual adults, new parents and couples who are struggling with all sorts of life-stressors, I have found the most effective approach to be one that is warm, collaborative and process-oriented; where the client(s) feels seen, heard and understood. Studies show that the one of most important ingredients in therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. I agree with this wholeheartedly and work from that perspective. Attachment, Family-Systems, Relational and Psychodynamic theories are all woven together to inform my work, as well.

LIFE CAN BE TOUGH. Who has your back? Are you bored in your life or career? Do you feel alone and lonely, despite that you love your partner and your two adorable kids? Are you the last single one left in your group and are questioning if you will ever meet the love of your life? Do you feel misunderstood, not good enough, scared? Are you escaping your feelings with drugs and alcohol, elaborate vacations, shopping, work? What plays out in your personal life plays out in your work life, causing stress, depression and anxiety. I also executive coach CEOs and entrepreneurs, as well as being a team facilitator for corporate change

Life moves so quickly these days, it's hard to take the time to really think about who we are and how we are living. Often, it takes years of patterns that are hurtful or self-destructive to wonder why we aren't feeling happy or fulfilled. Psychotherapy can provide the time and space to really understand and experience ourselves in a new way. I will listen with curiosity and warmth and will collaborate with you to help effect positive change in your life and relationships.

I strongly believe in people's resiliency and motivation to live a full life despite difficult experiences. I'm dedicated to helping my clients achieve desirable and lasting change. We will look closely at what holds you back and what feels painful in your life. Whether it is a cycle of difficult emotions, unwanted behaviors, or relational difficulties, I believe it is crucial to discover the meaning in these experiences. Through our work together we will develop new tools to transform your life and make it more satisfying.

I am called to support individuals and couples ready to liberate themselves from stress and overwhelm to create more fulfilling relationships and lead happier, more balanced lives. Despite what brings you to therapy, my goal is for you to leave with the ability to respond effectively to life's challenges. I provide a safe, supportive environment for you to begin exploring your feelings, needs and internal reality. Through mindfulness, interactive dialogue and practical wisdom we will invite compassionate curiosity around old patterns that no longer serve you. Visit me at www.deannajimenez.com.

Hello! I have a warm, active and authentic style. I am not the stereo typical therapist who sits back and nods. I'm engaged and curious about you and your process, and I'm constantly learning about new approaches to healing and therapy. I am originally from Belgium and have been living in the states for 20 years now. My ultimate goal is to inspire, guide and empower you to live more JOY-FUL lives. I have a strong interest in working with women on the foundation of their SELF ESTEEM and how this impacts their relationships and decisions.

Do you always put yourself last? Is it so hard to be yourself around other people, that you disappear in relationships, avoid them altogether, or settle for less than you deserve? Do you get easily overwhelmed by your emotions, or have trouble knowing what you feel? I help women heal from emotional neglect, develop a healthy sense of self, and discover who they are, what they want, and how to move forward.

Profound change comes through understanding and knowing ourselves. You can express yourself more clearly and be more fully yourself. I help people tap into their ability to understand themselves and those close to them, and communicate with love and respect. Sometimes, creating better relationships requires engaging in processes of healing old wounds and traumas. My goal is to help you, and with couples, you and your partner and families become happier.
