Hello & Welcome! My work is insight-oriented and focused on meaningful internal change, not just symptom management. I am a compassionate and experienced clinical psychologist and educator licensed in California with additional certifications in NLP & Ericksonian therapeutic hypnosis. Queer, gender fluid and femme folks at the intersection of gender, sexual & relational diversity (GSRD) + cultural diversity + neurodiversity are my primary focus. Alt high achievers in tech, medicine, mental health, academia and the creative arts are some of the folks I work with. A main diagnostic specialization is anxiety, our modern-day malady. I am a founding member of Bay Area Open Minds, therapists affirming GSRD as well as the author of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Journal. Eurasian Filipino-American, I am inclusive and embracing in my approach. Note: San Francisco office hours Wednesday-Friday. Zoom Monday-Friday. You can schedule directly via Headway calendar, or ask me about setting up a recurring appointment.

My name is Andrea Rubenstein. I am a Licensed Psychologist. I am honored to support people in improving their well-being. I have experience working with people from diverse backgrounds and a large range of symptomatology.

Hello! I'm Dr. Miriam Adrianowicz. As a psychologist, my role is being your partner on your path to greater wellbeing. I believe the bedrock of this partnership is your sense of safety within it, and it is from this safe place that change begins to feel possible. I believe that the quality and strength of our partnership has a great impact on how effective our work is together, and our first step forward is developing a relationship in which you feel secure and empowered.

Hi. I'm a therapist based in San Francisco. I provide therapy to people seeking support anxiety and depression-related issues, trauma, relationship and career challenges and those looking to change or examine their substance use patterns.

With 28 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I have dedicated my career to helping clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves. Through the process of self-exploration, my clients have been able to navigate significant challenges and ultimately create more fulfilling and manageable lives. I focus on key areas such as relationships, communication, and career, guiding individuals in uncovering their own solutions while also helping them develop and effectively apply new skills. It is incredibly rewarding to witness the transformation that occurs when clients embrace self-discovery and take actionable steps towards positive change. My approach is collaborative, empowering individuals to recognize their strengths and potential as they work towards their goals.

As an African American social worker educated in Alabama, I bring both cultural awareness and a deeply grounded, compassionate approach to my practice. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.

My style is collaborative, empathetic, and empowering—I believe in meeting clients where they are while helping them identify their strengths and develop practical tools for growth. I draw on evidence-based practices through a trauma-informed and person-centered lens, supporting clients in navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity, and recovery.

Having trained and practiced in diverse communities, I understand the importance of cultural context, lived experience, and social environment in shaping one’s well-being. Whether you’re seeking support for personal growth, healing from trauma, or strengthening coping strategies, I’m here to walk alongside you in the process of building a more balanced and fulfilling life.

More that fifteen years of teaching English and drama at a Los Angeles public high school taught me many things - primarily, it taught me how often people's barriers to achievement are not due to any lack of skill or ability, but rather from emotional barriers stemming from stress, adversity and trauma. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders, PTSD (including Complex-PTSD) and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety disorders, OCD, phobias, and trauma.

My name is Sebastian Villaseñor, LCSW, and I hold an MSW from Cal State Fresno with ten years of clinical experience. I’ve worked with diverse populations in multiple settings, allowing me to adapt my approach to each client’s needs. I aim to create a supportive, welcoming therapy space where clients feel understood and empowered. Let’s work together toward growth, clarity, and lasting positive change.

I’m a licensed therapist with a background in supporting adults and teens through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship stress. I earned my graduate degree in counseling and have worked in both community-based and private practice settings, which has helped me understand the real-life pressures people carry—work, family, finances, identity, and burnout.

My style is practical and compassionate: we look at patterns, the stories you’ve learned to live by, and what it would feel like to respond differently—more grounded, more empowered, and more like “you.” I often integrate inner child work, trauma-informed care, and skills for emotional regulation and ADHD/executive functioning.

I primarily work with adults who want to improve communication, rebuild trust, and create more secure connection.
