Top therapists in San Francisco, CA accepting new patients
Hello! Congratulations, on starting your journey to finding a therapist that meets your needs! I have been a therapist for 8 years in California. I received my Masters from USC and am a Licensed Therapist. I truly enjoy building connections with my clients and working collaboratively with them.
I enjoy connecting with clients by learning their individual stories. By understanding my clients, I can connect them to a specific modality for treatment. I am empathic and caring. My goal is to support each of my clients reflect on their lives and become emotionally strong.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field (12 in private practice). I work with individuals ages 3 and up, as well as couples. I am trauma informed, a certified clinical supervisor, and EMDR trained (currently not accepting EMDR patients). I hold a plethora of CEUs in mental health disorders and have owned my own practice for several years, offering in person and telehealth services.

I am a good listener and I want each person to feel deeply understood and validated in their experience while also reflecting back your best self. My strength is in my ability to articulate and provide coherence to your story and challenges so you can then make the changes you want for yourself.
Hello,
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist (which means I have a doctorate and I do talk therapy, no medication assessment or prescribing) that loves working with women that are wanting to recover from disordered eating, body image challenges, or learning to travel with grief.
I work with you to find the right balance of radical acceptance, meeting you where you are at, with compassion, along with encouraging you to change and grow, where you would like to change and grow.
I’m Hannah, and I have been working with people for over twenty years in a variety of capacities. I hold a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I care deeply about people and feel honored to walk alongside them in their healing journeys, offering compassion, presence, and support as they create meaningful change in their lives.
I'm Matt Darst, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained at the University of Southern California, with advanced training in military and veteran clinical social work. I work with adults who are motivated to change but feel stuck — navigating trauma, addiction, mood disorders, OCD, grief, or the kind of cumulative pressure that quietly builds until something gives.
My clients tend to be high-functioning people who look fine from the outside but are carrying more than they let on. That includes professionals managing stress and burnout, veterans and first responders, and anyone who's ready to do honest, purposeful work — regardless of background or title.
I bring a direct, warm style grounded in kind accountability. I'm not here to tell you what you want to hear. I'm here to help you move.
I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Naturopathic Doctor with over five years of experience providing compassionate, holistic care through telehealth. My journey into healthcare began organically—people naturally sought me out for emotional and energetic support, and I wanted to serve them with integrity and expertise. I pursued my clinical doctorate in naturopathic medicine to honor that calling, then specialized in mental health through my counseling training because supporting emotional wellness has always been my deepest passion.
I work primarily with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, and ancestral trauma. Many of my clients are seeking a provider who understands the whole person—someone who can hold space for both the clinical symptoms and the deeper, more nuanced aspects of their experience. This includes intuition, synchronicities, and other gifts that don't always fit neatly into conventional frameworks. If you've ever felt hesitant to share certain parts of your inner world with a therapist, I want you to know that all of you is welcome here.
When I'm not working, you'll find me traveling and exploring new places, or at home with my cat, Rumi.
Hello I’m Christine Lam, a licensed clinical counselor based in California. I specialize in helping individuals better understand themselves, navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. One phrase you’ll often hear me say in therapy is, “You are the expert on your own life.” By that, I mean that you bring the lived experiences, insights, and wisdom that come from being you. My role is not to tell you who you are or what you should do, but to serve as a collaborative guide - helping you make sense of your experiences, emotions, and patterns in a space free from judgment, expectations, or performance. My goal is to create an environment where you feel fully seen, understood, and welcomed exactly as you are.
