Integrative Therapists in San Francisco, CA

I frequently accept new patients for telehealth psychotherapy, adults residing in California. Therapy can be helpful for a wide range of issues and clients come to me with emotional and mental distress, relationships problems, questions about the overall quality and direction in their lives. More specifically clients express worry and anxiety, depression, loneliness, career/work problems, mental and emotional concerns with retirement, difficult family and relationship issues, or needs related to long term recovery from substances, other addictions.

Seeking therapy can often be a scary and confusing decision to make. If you are experiencing difficulties in life that seem overwhelming or you feel stuck in a rut, I can be the person that will join you on the path to figuring out what step to take next. My approach to therapy is integrative and I work collaboratively with my clients to create a treatment plan that is unique to each individual in order to promote growth.

My work with individuals, couples and families includes relational issues, self-esteem, anxiety, grief, childhood and chronic trauma, life transitions, divorce, parenting, coping with personality disorders, dysfunctional family recovery, spirituality, the expatriate or immigrant experience, women’s issues, and uncovering deep-seated beliefs and patterns.

As a psychotherapist with a decade of experience in hospitals, primary care clinics, and the broader public health system, I have experience with a wide range of issues and with individuals of diverse backgrounds.

In the journey towards healing and self-discovery, finding a therapist who truly understands the intersectionality of your experiences is key. As a therapist and part of the trans, queer, ethnic minority, multicultural, immigrant, trauma survivor, and (dis)ability communities, I'm dedicated to honoring all that makes you - you. The uniqueness of your journey, recognition of your experiences, and collaboration will be at the core of our work.

Hi! I'm Alex and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist. My approach to therapy is integrative and eclectic, but it is individualized to each client because no two people are exactly the same. That being said, I have found my focus areas are largely anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions and self-esteem. I work with a wide range of clients based on age, ethnicity, and other identifying characteristics. However, if I had to break it down more specifically, I believe the most common focuses of therapy are anxiety, relationships, life transitions (or change), and self-esteem building.

It is challenging to struggle alone but you don’t have to. Therapy can be a powerful tool that can aid in facilitating the changes you want to see in yourself and within your life. Utilizing video platforms you can access the support and tools you need from the comfort of your own home. I look to pursue and activate inner resilience and self-healing potentials that you have within you in order to obtain positive and long-lasting treatment outcomes. You are the expert of your own life and I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey to healing.

My work is grounded in a relational and body-oriented approach to therapy. I draw on the immense resources of the body-- its rich wisdom to support the cultivation of mindful presence, internal resource, gentle self inquiry/guidance and embodiment. Creating space for you to listen to your voice and inner experience allows for both depth and breath of understanding, as well as authentic expression and acceptance.

Greg’s philosophy in working with people is, “building a relationship between you and I is the first important step; compassion, kindness, and trust take time.” Greg collaborates with his clients to create a realistic and useful treatment plan to make their progress as effective as possible.

I work from a trauma-informed, relational space of deep listening, in an open, accepting, and non-shaming manner—welcoming of all that you bring to our session. I believe that each human being is perfectly imperfect. I hold a deep curiosity for my clients’ inner worlds and an ability to hold space for difficult material without shame or judgment, seeing the patterns my clients’ stories, beliefs, and feelings weave and sharing those insights and reflections in our process. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I work with adolescents, young adults, and their families, and see adults individually and in group settings.

I believe that the capacity to thrive already lives in your hands, heart, and imagination. As your therapist, I will work with you to uncover your own inherent wisdom. With your wise self in the room, we can explore how parts of you may feel lost, unsure or left out. As your wise self learns to take up more space in your life, you may come to realize that the painful parts of you are just that: a part of you, and that your life is not defined by these parts. I will help you to realize that you are indeed amazing, capable, and loved.

Therapy is a space where you can learn to understand, love, and express your authentic self, and as a therapist, my role is to support you in this journey. I believe that collaboration is essential and that by working together, we can find ways to enhance your growth, build your resilience, and promote your strengths. I also tend to bring humor and playfulness into the therapy space as appropriate – life is about many moods and expressions. I specialize in working with sexual and gender diversity, multiculturalism, anxiety, improving communication and relationships, life transitions, and personal and career growth/identity.

In my previous career as a nurse, I learned that helping was not solving someone’s problems for them, but being with them in an authentic way as a fellow human being. The potential of human to human relationships is what drew me to becoming a therapist. A good fit with a therapist provides the safety to begin shaking loose limiting beliefs that keep you stuck and isolated in painful patterns. It can allow you to experience yourself in new, more flexible and expansive ways.

These elements are incorporated in a dynamic therapeutic process that engages your senses and encourages prompt symptom relief.

Through my extensive personal and professional experience, I have developed a vast and deep therapy tool kit. I look forward to exploring treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
