Grief Therapists in Downtown, San Francisco, CA

We are living in challenging times. When a heartbreaking loss knocks us down to the ground, or a trauma from the past gets activated from a recent event, it can feel unbearable to cope with all that is already happening in the world. In our work together, we will bring the healing power of awareness to the discomfort in a safe and supportive setting to help you increase your capacity to be with the pain, and move through it. So often we are unaware of the patterns we hold in our bodies and minds that keep us stuck. Together we can shed light on what is happening so you can choose how you want to respond and show up in your life.

I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with such things as a major life transition, trauma, difficult relationship dynamics, illness, grief and loss, climate change anxiety, or isolation. Together we can reach your goals of building upon the resilience you have and adjusting any beliefs and patterns of behavior that are causing you distress in order to help you learn how to better navigate the challenges of life.

Hi, thank you for being here! Working on your mental health is one of the bravest and most important things you can do for yourself. There are things in your life — from the present or, often, from the past — that might not feel great. These things can leak through —affecting your future. It takes courage to look what's not working in your life and make positive change. I want to support you in moving towards the life you want!

The goal of therapy is for you be happy in your love and work. At the heart of it, therapy is about increasing your capacity to alleviate your suffering; feel more connected with yourself and others; expand and enrich yourself; recognize what you want; and recognize the internal and external forces that keep you from getting what you want. These are powerful antidotes to anxiety and depression.

Are you at a turning point in your life? Struggling with life's daily complexities? I focus on: Trauma and PTSD, Substance Abuse and Dual Diagnosis, Grief and Loss and much more. I use an eclectic model of healing from a person-centered, strengths-based perspective that is Anti-Racist and Anti- Systems of Oppression in its foundation. To allow oneself to show up as our best selves in and out of the therapy room. Each person brings a multi-faceted expression of their true selves to therapy that can be unlocked with strength, courage, and the acknowledgment of one's right to self-determination and self-efficacy.

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.

Hi there! I’m Jeff. Do you feel stuck or unable to reach your potential in your relationships, career, or overall health? Is it hard to accept yourself or others? Are you struggling to communicate with the people you care most about? You deserve support!

My clients are most often dealing with communication concerns, issues of intimacy and complications related to life changes. When traumatic events impact their daily lives, they may seek assistance. Occasionally couples and families experiencing stress in their relationships may need an objective listener and guide to help them figure out how to reestablish balance. With the many demands of life and work, we work together to find pleasure in their families and for parents to reinstate parental authority within the family structure.

I create a space and a relationship that is nurturing and helps empower you to live with more freedom. I am bilingual (Spanish) and bi-cultural (México/United States).

Let go, let in, and embrace - I believe these three steps can be the hardest, yet, with compassion, they can be the most life-giving and beautiful approaches to human life. It has always been my greatest pleasure to assist clients in the process of letting go, letting in, and embracing life more intimately. Clients I work with include individuals seeking to transform impacts of trauma or loss, relieve burden associated with hoarding or clutterring, learn more about self-love and love for and with others.

Welcome! Mindfulness is a practice of self awareness where one learns the significance of what I call the "emotional pause", this is essential in both individual and couples work. Being able to pause allows our minds and bodies to process and integrate information, creating space for self acceptance and making choices that support and align with our personal wellbeing. It also allows us to "respond" rather than "react" in relationship. My approach is direct yet compassionate,I use talk therapy and somatic practices to help couples and individuals fully get to know themselves and make choices that create lasting change.

I am passionate about supporting teens and adults in their healing journeys of grief, depression, and trauma. As an Asian American immigrant, bisexual, and first-generation college student myself, I also feel deeply about the unique challenges and stressors of code-switching from one culture to another in order to survive. If you feel othered, devastated, or losing control of your life, I offer you a safe and compassionate space to navigate complex emotions, find support within yourself and your community, and experience transformation to feel balanced and whole.

Welcome to living your best life. We can work together to help you unravel the barriers to living a life you feel good about. I have 28 plus years of experience treating anxiety/ depression loss and grief. I have trained using CBT and DBT techniques. The premise of those is that our thoughts can drive our actions. So often we are unaware of the impact our thoughts have on what we do and who we are. You’ve made an important first step to a healthier more fulfilling life. With compassion and kindness I can help you navigate the changes you’d like to make. I’m honored to join your journey.

Currently accepting new clients. Reaching out for support can feel scary and takes courage.

Are you carrying a burden that’s weighing you down? You might struggle to cope with worries, sadness, or difficult experiences. Or perhaps your relationship is suffering, and you don’t know what to do about it. You want to close open wounds, ease your symptoms, and overcome obstacles with confidence. You’d love to reconnect with your partner and build a happy and fulfilling life. But how? As someone who has weathered trauma, I’ve seen the impact that distressing events and mental health difficulties can have on your inner and outer worlds. Therapy allowed me to recover and move forward, and I now aspire to help you do the same.

Sometimes, we get stuck in patterns that might have been helpful at some point in our lives but are not so helpful to us now. These patterns show up in the ways we respond in our relationships, in work/school, to challenges, and to ourselves. We’ll approach therapy as collaborators to build up your skills and strengths to get you unstuck. In our work together, we'll gently explore the past, so we can create an action plan for a different future. We'll recontextualize what no longer serves you and make space for your curious, creative self to emerge.
