People thrive when they feel a sense of purpose and connection to themselves and others. Most people come to see me when something is missing from their lives, be it purpose, connection, or both. Depression and/or anxiety may be at work. Anger or grief could consume more of their time and focus. Others feel stagnant, confused, expressing a lack of motivation and self-worth. Finding a safe place to explore your current struggles is possible in therapy. To achieve the meaningful changes you desire, seeking professional help is an effective option.

Hello, I am Keely! I have experience with teenagers and young adults in both long term and short term therapy. Many of my clients come in dealing with negative self thoughts related to anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or life transitions. I find it helpful to be a source of reassurance and sometimes, the voice within my client's head that everything is going to be okay.

I'm a therapist working out of the Noe Valley neighborhood in San Francisco. I work with adults and adolescents who feel stuck, disconnected from themselves or others, or overwhelmed by emotion. My clients often include folks navigating the challenges of launching into adulthood, children of divorce, and individuals feeling stuck in patterns of video game or social media use that are getting in the way of their goals or relationships. I also support people through difficult and complex transitions, helping them build emotional resilience, a stronger sense of self, and practical tools for change.

On the outside, some of us are competent, driven, and dependable in our daily life. But internally, we may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, or a persistent sense that we're “not enough.” We feel stuck in this way and wish to break free from old narratives, unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and relational dynamics that no longer serve us. Essentially, we want to reclaim an authentic connection with our self and others. If this resonates with you, and your goal is to better understand yourself while learning practical, science-backed strategies to make real changes in your life today, I'm here to help you.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is built from trust and sincerity. My hope is to hold space for a genuine connection that fosters dynamic self reflection. Looking deeper into the layers of experience that inform our internal gaze and external lens, and what we intrinsically value and believe. Whether you are looking to unravel patterns of codependency, improve communication with your partner(s), or navigate through body shame and disordered eating, I see opportunity for clarity and resolve.

Welcome, love. If you’ve found your way here, something within you is ready to be met. Maybe it’s the quiet ache of becoming—the part of you that’s tired of overextending, of being the steady one while quietly falling apart. Maybe it’s the longing to be held in your wholeness—to be witnessed not only for your strength, but for your softness, your grief, your sacred truth. This is a space of remembering. A space for healing, reconnection, and inner safety. You don’t have to perform here or hide the parts that feel like too much. You never were too much. You were always enough.

When life feels overwhelming, finding meaning and connection can feel elusive. Layer on the struggles inherent in our current world—family dynamics, life transitions, climate anxiety—you name it, and it’s no wonder it can feel impossible. In my work, I help people navigate life’s murky waters, and the feelings of inertia that can come with the territory. Helping people connect with, and stay true to, their authentic selves is what makes my work meaningful. I work particularly well with clients who struggle in relationships (including with adult family members), as well as adults with ADHD or those who suspect they might have ADHD.

My style is direct, transparent and positive. All work is supported by solid psychodynamic theory. I am comfortable with challenges. Most of my clients come in to address relationship issues, career and life-stage transitions, depression and anxiety. However, I have considerable experience in areas of disordered eating, addiction, and (Complex)PTSD. I believe that in order for successful transformational work to occur, the therapeutic relationship is central. Therefore, I offer an initial free 20 minute meeting to test for the ineffable 'fit.' I am a private practice out-of-network provider. WEBSITE: tamaratuckermft.com
