Therapists in Downtown, San Francisco, CA

Are you struggling in a relationship? Are you struggling to understand why you feel depressed or angry most of the time? Meaningful relationships are central to happiness. This can pertain to any relationship you find difficult and/or challenging. Dating, marriage, children, divorce, work, extended family, college, career choices are all areas that can be overwhelming and create stress in individuals, couples and families. Counseling provides help in areas where you are feeling stuck and presents healthy alternatives to stay connected to your goals and the important people in your life.

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.

Try as we might, sometimes happiness and contentment always seem just out of reach. Depression, anxiety and stress can make getting out of bed in the morning a daunting task. Troubles in your relationship or conflict in the family can make you feel helpless or overwhelmed. You don’t like yourself and never feel good enough at work or around certain people. Maybe you just can’t quite put your finger on exactly what is wrong, you just know you don’t want to hurt anymore.

My name is Roger Grossman I literally wrote to book on how to have a successful marriage: "Making Marriage Work: A User’s Guide To A Successful Marriage" by Roger Grossman, I Am Not The Smile and Nod Therapist. I roll up my sleeves and get in there with you. I have a great BS detector. I’ll call you on your stuff. We’ll laugh (a lot).

Are you or your family having a difficult time? Have you been affected by sexual assault or community- level violence? Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to move forward in your life or your relationships?

In therapy, we will build towards empowerment, meaning, and identity so that you can achieve your goals. You can function better at work and at home. Contact me via phone, text, or email. I am looking forward to helping!

Are you waking up every day and realizing that your life is not where you want it to be? Are you feeling stuck in certain areas of your life and not able to find a solution? I am able to help you by providing you a safe environment where you can express yourself without feeling judged or criticized.  I have been helping people find peace, calm, and hope in their lives. 

All of my services are 100% online. Online therapy provides convenience, privacy and affordability all in one place. There are so many different types of situations or experiences that can create a need for therapy. You could be stressed and are having difficulty at work, you might realize that you have been feeling more “down” than usual or perhaps you are struggling with a difficult adjustment at home. Maybe your child is acting out and you aren't sure how to deal with it or you are going through a breakup or you moved to a new city. You also might want to improve your marriage and your friendships.

Are you and your partner(s) looking for counseling? Whether due to stress outside the relationship, wanting to feel closer to each other, or repairing a rupture from cheating, I can support you through your relationship journey. As a marriage and family therapist, I firmly believe in the transformative power of relationships, but that doesn’t mean they are easy to navigate alone. All relationship orientations are welcome- dating, married, nonmonagamous/poly — I have experience working with these. I’m aware of the societal shame towards poly folks and my practice works to undo any shame in relationship counseling.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that will be your pillar of support, be authentic and provide you with the support you need. I will help you return to a healthier level of functioning. Everyone has a reset button. I will guide you to find it and teach you how to use it. I help people from all walks of life that are stumped by negative patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. Whether you were hurt by others or if you did the hurting, or life happened to you in a way that blind sided you, I want you to know that you can get back up. If you are willing to show up for yourself and put in the work, then so am I.

Do you have trouble identifying why patterns keep repeating themselves in your life? Maybe you are someone who is longing for a deeper connection to self and the world around you. Perhaps you are a couple reading this looking for support in navigating some of human relationships most challenging conflicts, or it could be you're just looking to strengthen the relationship. Wherever your inquiry lies I am confident our work together can facilitate meaningful change.

If you've been in therapy before and had a not-so-great experience, chances are you'll fare better with me. I can't guarantee this, but I say it confidently because I'm very good at adapting how I work to each client's needs and abilities - especially in the early going.

Taking the first step to get in and talk to a therapist about concerns that are holding you back or creating challenges is not easy. But it can really make a difference. The issues or concerns you have may be preventing you from moving forward or from having fulfilling relationships, career or a satisfying life. Whether it's communication problems, anger, anxiety, or depression, you can make changes. Using verbal and non-verbal therapeutic techniques, in a safe, accepting environment, you can find new ways to face your concerns, and discover your strengths and resources to flourish and grow.

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.

No matter who we are or what our background in life, much of our behavior is influenced by our unconscious mind, and I have learned that facing these unconscious motives in a relational therapy setting can lead to psychological healing, especially when combined with the physical body and somatic experiences. I enjoy engaging with clients in exploration, analysis, and reflective interpretation, and through this, developing a path of healing and growth.

I am here as a guiding tool, a means to an end. My purpose is to assist you on your journey, helping you navigate through your experiences and empowering you to apply the insights gained in therapy to your life.
