Therapists in Downtown, San Francisco, CA

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. As a therpaist, I'm here to support you in navigating life's challenges - especially relationships. Relationship issues are my speciality, and I know from seeing hundreds of clients that when our relationships are out of whack, we are more likely to experience depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders. I also have specialized experience and training for parents of traumatized children, whether that child is still a kid, or is an adult. Whatever relationship you find yourself in (couple, family, peer, work) or whatever relationship you would like to manifest, I can help.

Hello, I'm Mary Joye, and I am here to help you listen to yourself from a new and nonjudgmental perspective. We will work together to make connections between the past and the present to help you enjoy a brighter and better future.

I work with individuals and couples in any stage of relationship. If we work together, my goal is to help you access and understand the root causes of your struggles so you can truly heal. In my experience, when the origin of conditioned thoughts, feelings and behaviors are fully felt and understood, they no longer have power, can be let go, and in their place comes a sense of freedom, choice and empowerment. Whether you struggle to manage stress, anxiety, and/or depression, or have found the goal of creating a satisfying relationship or career to be elusive, I believe you can move past any limitations with the right help.

Engaging in psychotherapy is an ideal way to work on understanding yourself and others and increasing satisfaction with life. If you are feeling overwhelmed, if every day you are weighed down with conflict or heavy emotions, talking to a professional, and someone outside your family, friends and loved ones, can help in gaining perspective and getting the bigger picture.

I am a licensed psychologist who sees individuals, couples and families for more than 20 years. My goal is to help patients live psychologically healthier and more fulfilling lives. My patients want to remove obstacles and recover hope, purpose and themselves. I help explore deeper issues and patterns underlying persistent unhappiness, as well as help navigate life transitions that are overwhelming. Adjusting to uncertainty, new beginnings, endings, isolation, grief, and constantly changing conditions are challenging and can cause us to get stuck. I can help unstick.

If you are feeling overwhelmed with difficult life circumstances, we can work together to define challenges and find solutions. I am an interactive, down-to-earth therapist. I find the resilience of people to be truly inspiring. I believe therapy can help to resolve life crises, restore hope and guide you towards living a more fulfilling life. With renewed inspiration, energy and clarity, you can heal and overcome your challenges. With over 15 years of experience, I have helped many people move forward with their lives.

As a Transpersonal Psychotherapist I offer mental, physical, social, emotional, and intellectual support. Transpersonal psychology emphasizes the importance of a healthy spirit in healing and wholeness. I utilize my empathic skills & intensive training to integrate all life experiences with modern psychology. My unique approach to healing focuses on how we achieve meaning & purpose through personal empowerment & expansion.

My name is Daniel Lesny, and I'm a therapist, supervisor, and Training Director at Center for Creative Growth. I see myself as a catalyst who helps you to be with, heal, and grow in the areas of life that are most important to you. For over 25 years, I have offered individual, couples, family, and group therapy, including our Center's acclaimed "Healing Your Past - Transforming Your Future" 20-session Intensive, now available to California residents via Zoom. Our Program helps you heal these painful legacies of growing up in a family where there was emotional, verbal, physical, or sexual abuse, neglect, abandonment, or addiction.

Perhaps some of the important pieces of your life have not fallen into place yet, leaving you feeling stuck. Balancing dating/relationships can be challenging, especially with work, family, and personal life. Experiencing this day after day can feel hopeless, but I am glad to say that you CAN make things better. Men are often taught to dismiss and devalue their feelings. Perhaps it was a lack of support of our emotions growing up or a deeply ingrained acceptance of the social norm that celebrates a very specific definition of masculinity. Either way, it can result in unaddressed anxiety, resentment, or depression.

As a Board-Certified Clinical Sexologist and Licensed Marriage, Family Therapist, I have the expertise to provide effective treatment of all sexual and relationship concerns. Therapy is interactive: I will listen to you, provide feedback, help you to understand why you are having difficulty, and use therapeutic techniques to make lasting change. I believe that therapy should be straightforward, solution-focused, and short-term. Please feel free to contact me to schedule an appointment or to get more information.

Whatever you have lived through--healing is possible. I provide therapy for people living outside of the mainstream, whether because of values and ideals or personal identity. Therapy with me doesn't require that you or I believe there is anything wrong with you. Instead it is a place where both of us work collaboratively and creatively to develop an environment where you can take more and more risks to be yourself. It is a place to keep growing. It is a place to get real about what matters to you and what challenges you. Keywords: radical, queer, artists, activists, social justice, progressive

If you are experiencing betrayal, doubt, confusion, sadness, anxiety, anger, loss, fear and hurt, we will look at solutions,options, choices, value, expression, attitudes, negative influences, strengths, abilities, and relations affecting your life. We will explore differences in values, perspective, backgrounds, communication styles, and evaluate trust, honesty, respect, expectations and relational patterns.

I use methodologies rooted in science and validated by research. I believe that it is through authentic connection to others that we grow in self awareness and emotional health.

The Center for Relational Therapy was born out of the desire to create a space for the weirdos, outcasts, misfits, and nonconformists that is owned and operated by fellow weirdos, outcasts, misfits, and nonconformists. Grounded in a deep commitment to creating an inclusive and affirming practice, we offer therapeutic services to folks who fall outside of the margins.

My goal is to help you live your life fully; no longer feeling bound by the experiences in your past. Our experiences change our brains. Family, relationships and trauma all affect how we perceive ourselves, others and our world. But just as trauma and other negative experiences can create patterns that can lead to anxiety, depression, anger, unhealthy relationships, addictions or underachievement...new experiences can change those patterns. I provide a safe, non-judgmental place to work with your memories, feelings and thoughts in new ways.

Everyone functions uniquely, at times experiencing depression, anxiety, insecurities, doubt, and grief. I help people around these issues, as well as introversion, high-functioning Asperger's, bipolar, OCD, and social awkwardness...relationship issues, self-esteem, living with narcissists, identity. We can decide how to deal with life's changes, challenges, and transitions. We will focus compassionately on emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships to examine patterns and slowly change them. Our ability to observe and use our will to change are the most powerful tools we possess to bring about changes we desire.
