Individual Therapy in San Francisco, CA for
Personal Growth and Emotional Wellbeing
You don't have to be in crisis to attend therapy. With all the challenges in life, having someone to talk to can help relieve some of the burden. Every person at one point or another reaches a place where they are ready for a shift. We are here for you.
Life can be overwhelming—and sometimes, you just need someone to talk to. Individual therapy in San Francisco, CA gives you a safe, compassionate space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences without judgment.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or a major life transition, our therapists are here to walk beside you. We use a client-centered, somatic and relational approach to help you reconnect with yourself and build tools for lasting change.
While our therapists are trained in a variety of approaches and modalities, what matters most is that we are real people who genuinely care about walking beside you through both the difficult moments and the meaningful ones.
Many of us grapple with understanding our deeper place in life, our purpose, or how the stories of our lives truly affect who we are today. Challenging circumstances, transitions, and old patterns that no longer serve you can be daunting to navigate alone.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I know if individual therapy is right for me?
You don't have to be in crisis to start therapy. Most people come when something has become harder to carry alone — a transition, a pattern that keeps repeating, anxiety, grief, or a sense of being stuck. If you're weighing it up, the free consultation is a low-pressure way to find out.
What happens in a first individual therapy session?
You're starting a new relationship with your therapist, so the first sessions are largely about getting to know each other and building trust. You won't be pushed to share anything uncomfortable — you set the pace. From there you'll explore what's present for you and work towards your goals.
How long will I be in therapy?
It varies. We generally suggest giving it at least three months so you and your therapist have time to build trust, which is what the rest of the work rests on. Some people work on something specific and finish; others continue for longer.
Is individual therapy available in person in San Francisco or by telehealth?
Both. We have two San Francisco offices — 2024 Divisadero Street in Lower Pacific Heights and 1734 Fillmore Street near Japantown — and we offer secure telehealth to any California resident.
What if my therapist isn't the right fit?
Tell us and we'll match you with someone else. Fit matters more than almost anything else in therapy, and it's completely normal for the first match not to be the right one.
