Therapists in San Francisco, CA

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? I work with individuals and couples who want to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and shift out of patterns that no longer serve them. I will teach you how to build awareness of your issues, develop new ways of managing your challenges, and support you in creating lasting changes in your life.

I work with individuals and couples who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or are struggling with communication challenges, imposter syndrome or perfectionism. Those I work with often appear to have everything together to the outside observer, but feel like they are struggling on the inside. Together we'll find ways to give the issues impacting you less power over you and your relationships. We will help you make positive, meaningful changes that will better serve you moving forward.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with >15 yrs experience researching and providing evidence-based treatments.

I also work with many young adults undergoing life transitions, exploring career identities/trajectories, navigating romantic partnerships, etc. An increasing focus of my practice is existential in nature, assisting clients with spiritual growth and exploration.

Do you feel caught in self-criticism? Do you feel separate from others- or less than? Self-criticism can affect mood, sleep, relationships, and motivation. You might feel you've lost your sense of purpose- that a good life is out of reach. You are not alone. In this post-pandemic world, so many of us feel anxious and hard on ourselves.

It is my goal to support you in uncovering patterns that no longer serve you and in fostering new experiences to support your own growth.

Are you looking to deep dive with a therapist you feel safe with and collaboratively works with you and encourages you along the way? My ideal client is reflective as I ask questions to deep dive and explore underlying issues and themes to help them gain insight.

I am strength-based and use encouraging language in session, while following your lead. In our sessions, you will also learn Mindfulness, CBT and DBT skills to help you manage emotions and stress.

Hello, I'm Amanda! I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, and parents or caregivers. Drawing from my experience as a former school therapist, I possess a deep understanding of the unique challenges and support systems necessary for the growth and development of children and teens.

Are you or your teen child feeling overwhelmed by negative feelings, struggling in your day-to-day, or just nagged by a sense that things shouldn't be this hard, and something needs to change? I can help. In my San Francisco practice, I guide young people through anxiety, stress, grief, challenging peer or family dynamics, big transitions and identity questions. My approach integrates depth psychotherapy with solutions-oriented counseling to help clients gain insight, find relief from immediate distress, and build life-skills for emotional health.

Everyone wants to feel that they are good enough. The reality though, is that most of us struggle to feel that we are acceptable and lovable just as we are. If you resonate with this, you're not alone. These beliefs tend to operate in the background of your mind, subconsciously influencing your self-esteem, limiting the way you show up in relationships, work and leisure, and creating painful cycles of depression and anxiety. Therapy with me is a safe space to challenge patterns, expand limiting beliefs, heal your inner child, and develop a wise, confident, and secure authentic self to guide you through the ups and downs of life.

Therapy helps you craft a healthy relationship with yourself and others, and supports meaningful life choices. My clients struggle with issues such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, loneliness, relationship challenges, questions around life direction, and personal identity. Often they report feeling "stuck," frustrated in their ability to change or move forward in their lives. As a therapist, I like to work collaboratively with clients to support and strengthen what is already working and to bring insight to areas that need more attention. With compassion and kindness, my aim is to help my clients gain coping skills that foster greater well-being and help manage difficult feelings.

Welcome to a journey of transformation and empowerment.

With a profound blend of deep empathy and strategic insight, I create a sanctuary for healing—a space where personal growth and resilience are not just goals but tangible realities. My practice is rooted in cultural sensitivity and grounded in evidence-based methodologies. This approach ensures that every individual who walks through my doors feels deeply understood and immensely valued.

Many of us hold on to what is familiar, routine and predictable, even when what we cling to is no longer serving us. Letting go of what is known is one of the hardest parts of growth. Change and growth are possible when a sense of security, safety, and genuine understanding is present. I provide individualized, culturally-attuned and effective psychotherapy. You might have tried psychotherapy before, and perhaps it brought you through a stormy time, but ultimately left you to find yourself repeating well-worn patterns and feeling the same insecurities that led you to seek help initially.
