Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in San Francisco, CA

Hello! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing personalized care through telehealth. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD and stress-related challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported without judgment. I take a collaborative approach to care and include medication management when appropriate. I also offer services in both English and Spanish.

Most of us aren't born knowing how to navigate relationships, understand our emotions, or process trauma. Many things influence how we react and behave, but that doesn't mean we can't grow. My goal is to help you build confidence through discovering your self-worth and practicing self-compassion. My priority is creating a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable. I show up as my authentic self to build trust with you. I'm an empathetic listener and communicate in a calm, gentle, respectful way. My job isn't to tell you what to do, but to help you process and explore topics to build self-awareness and confidence.

Hi, I’m Dr. Jackie Friend, a licensed clinical psychologist and LMFT in California, and I specialize in helping high-functioning women, mothers, artists, and creators heal the patterns that keep them stuck in burnout, overthinking, perfectionism, and disconnection from their authentic voice. My background includes a doctorate in clinical psychology with advanced training in trauma, attachment, EMDR, family systems, and mind-body healing. I’ve also worked as a clinical director, professor, and supervisor, training future therapists in trauma-informed and relational care. I especially love supporting creatives navigating anxiety, identity shifts, motherhood, relationship pain, visibility fears, and the emotional complexity of building meaningful work. My style blends deep clinical expertise with warmth, intuition, and a whole-person approach that honors both the psyche and the creative spirit.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and empowering to individuals of all ages.

I am passionate about supporting individuals through my multi-modal therapeutic approach which integrates CBT and solution-focused, reality-based strategies to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and meaningful change.

Welcome! It is an honor and a privilege for me to have the opportunity to meet each one of you and listen to your story! I believe EVERYONE can benefit from some type of therapy. We all have a need to process and find our own understanding to life in general. Based on research: the two main variables that allow therapy to be effective are: the relationship with the therapist & a safe environment. It is always my goal to meet these variable to the best of my ability. Hope to hear from you soon!

We all experience times of feeling stuck, frustrated, or unsure how to move forward. Some seek practical solutions, while others want to understand the “why”—we can focus on both. We’ll move at your pace to explore what isn’t working and why. My goal is to help you navigate challenges, slow down, and feel more connected to your emotions. I’m also passionate about helping couples improve communication, reduce conflict, and build greater intimacy and connection.

I am super passionate about providing affirming care to neurodivergent people. I received my Masters Degree from the University of Northern Colorado and have been working with neurodivergent adolescents and adults for my entire career.

Every person is the expert in their life, and I love helping people see their strengths and challenging areas that clients feel stuck in.
