I am trained in providing evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, mood changes, and other mental health difficulties, including addiction and dual diagnoses and often work w/clients who are struggling in their relationships and dealing with difficult life events.

Hi! I’m Giselle (they/she/he). I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in trans/queer mental health (including gender-affirming hormone and surgery letters) and sex therapy. Throughout my career, I’ve oriented my work toward serving trans and queer community. I completed a postdoc in LGBT mental health, previously worked at the San Francisco VA’s Trans Health Clinic, and currently work as a gender specialist for Kaiser San Francisco. I provide continuing education courses for psychologists on LGBT-related topics and have presented my work on adapting therapy modalities for trans and queer folks.

I have over 20 years experience in working with children, adolescents and families with various backgrounds and socioeconomic status. My specialty and passion is in working with parents in helping them become the best parents they can be; including managing behavior problems at home and school, co-parenting, family therapy and Child-Parent dyadic Psychotherapy. I am able to provide therapy in both Hebrew and English. To accommodate the local Jewish community, I have available appointment times on Sunday, in addition to weekdays.

Tricia Gordan, LMFT Lic 85484, is a licensed marriage and family therapist who has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in various clinical settings for more than a decade.

How you feel towards yourself can profoundly impact your relationships, work, school, and more. And a lot can make it hard to feel your best. You might be: Exhausted by a relentless self-critical voice...Considering your next steps to feel authentically aligned with your gender and sexuality...Struggling with boundaries and people-pleasing... Stressed and stuck in your closest relationships...Curious about non-monogamy but unsure where to start...Looking for nonjudgmental guidance navigating dynamics within polyamory and kink — not to mention managing all of this under capitalism. No wonder you'd like support!

I combine a warm and direct approach with evidence-based practices (and a splash of humor) to help you unpack, examine, and rewrite the narratives in your life. Drawing from modalities such as Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems, we will work to align your thoughts and actions with your values so that you can lead the life you want. I view relationships and identity development through the lens of attachment theory with the goal of helping you draw clear connections from the past to the present and into an expansive and joyful future.

Relationships can be hard. Partners struggle with communication, conflicting parenting styles, sexual expressions... Life's challenges, hurtful fights, history of trauma or infidelity make it difficult to sustain trust and closeness. How can you create desired connections, and not lose yourself in the process? How can you be true both to self and to your partnership? I invite you to explore these questions together with empathy and curiosity, letting go of habitual judgments, self-deprecation, and shame. I work with individuals, couples, and families. Both traditional and alternative lifestyles are welcome, and no issue is a taboo.

Whatever you’re experiencing, I hope to walk the line of being a support to you in your experience and by your side, while also, empathetically being a source of information that can provide evidence based practices as well as an experiential framework to help you get what you want. I plan on taking an awareness-based approach. I want to build your awareness so you can make more informed decisions. I want to co-create an environment that allows you to bring your whole self to therapy so that you can heal and grow.

When we change ourselves we create change in our life and relationships. Therapy is a journey of self discovery to develop intimacy and create meaning in life and relationships. Gain new understanding and fulfillment. Through exploration of your past and present I will help you develop nurturing relationships with others and with your empathetic genuine self; connect with playfulness and creativity; understand repetition in your life; discover the unconscious role in your decisions ; experience intimacy and alleviate depression and anxiety as we transform suffering into growth.

When you are feeling depressed or anxious, you have a real reason to want to be heard. You communicate through words and body language. A child communicates through play and art. Whichever way you communicate, I am dedicated to hear what you have to say and gain a real understanding of what is going on. Together, we can explore your uniqueness and find strength in that. Whether it is a family issue or a personal one, taking care of yourself is a priority. I believe that the basic foundation of therapy is a good relationship between therapist and client.

It's a challenge to be in this world. You want to be considerate and kind; you also want to fulfill your potential. Were you were raised with a lot of "shoulds"? Were you told to control or ignore your feelings? Are there issues with anger- yours or anger from loved ones? Anger can lead to feelings of shame. But finding the feelings beneath the anger, you can accept and love yourself. And that can change your life. Here's an old, fun riddle about therapy: "How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb?" "One- but the lightbulb has to want to change." My ideal client may not know how to, but they want to change.

I help people get unstuck, break free, find clarity, and move forward. When we work together, you will experience a space free of judgment and full of grace and understanding, you will also experience challenges to set aside behaviors that no longer serve you, and you'll be encouraged to identify with the bravest, kindest, most hopeful part of yourself. My clients often say to me with a smile, "you are harder on me than my previous therapist(s)" and my response is often the same, "It's because I believe in you." And I do! You've got a beautiful life to get on living.

Hi, thanks for visiting my page! I love and often find myself working with creatives (film, tv, music, production, writing) as well as those in tech and finance. My work with individuals and/or couples is centered around anxiety and ocd related issues, existential dread (yes it’s a for sure thing!), and relationship challenges. Sessions often look like the space to problem solve, get deep, and work through blocks/feeling stuck. If this sounds like something of interest feel free to reach out, I’d love to meet you!

I describe my approach as informal and professional. I believe that the heart of good individual therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. The most common complaint I hear from my clients about other therapists is either that they are a blank screen or they are overly focused on one perspective. Not me. I work with you to develop a plan. I am actively engaged, helping you learn how to help yourself. I also look at how various identities you may have (gender, racial, etc) impact on you and the issues you want to work on. When working with couples, I use an evidence-based approach focused on the present.

Are you beginning to feel hopeless? Whether it is anxiety, depression or addictive behaviors, I have been there and learned practical ways to help speed up the healing process. If you are you a couple that argues or avoids each other, that usually stops in the first 3 sessions. Are you an individual that desperate wants to change and doesn't know how? Through many years of trial and error, education and humor I have created practical ideas to expedite your healing process. My goal is to guide you to a happy and manageable life. If you have a chance watch my video's, see if we are a good fit. Youtube - Carol Rose Adkisson.
