In Person Therapists in Civic Center, San Francisco, CA

Welcome! My name is Alana Jones and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping children, adults, and families navigate the unforeseen complexity and stress in their lives. Early in my development, I faced several difficult experiences that nearly turned my life upside-down. Thankfully, I had been introduced to a therapeutic support system at a young age which provided me with new perspectives, acceptance, and reinforced me with a sense of confident optimism. My relationship with therapy has had a profoundly positive influence on my life and my goal in practice is to instill those same benefits in you.

Do you feel out of the flow of life or stuck in patterns that feel familiar yet unwanted? Do you worry you've worn out the kind ears of friends or family? Whether you are experiencing a relationship change, hoping for a more fulfilling work life, or wanting to find freedom from staleness, talking with me in therapy can help. Therapy is a secure place to explore the events of your life and the impacts you feel from them. I can help you get clear on where you are, figure out where you'd like to be, and understand what’s keeping you from arriving there. Let's work together to uncover the life you've been dreaming of.

I find it effective to combine behavioral solutions with depth work. Since the unconscious ripples into all aspects of life, I have found that relational therapy addressing unconscious motives can help with most psychological difficulties. In addition to working with individuals, couples & families, I am adjunct faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies where I teach in the Masters in Counseling Psychology Department and Psychological Services Clinic.

Have you just experienced a profound life transition such as the loss of a loved one or the transformation of becoming a mother? These monumental changes can sometimes feel really destabilizing. For new mothers, the identity shifts, relationship dynamics, and existential loneliness in the postpartum period can be overwhelming. Similarly, when we lose someone we love, we can feel lost, isolated and debilitated by our grief. When our roles change, we benefit from more support. Together, we can navigate the path of grief, allowing you to honor your loss while finding a way forward.

Hello! My name is Eric Llorente, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I look forward to helping in your journey and helping make the changes you would like to make in your life! I have various experiences in community mental health with severe mental health disorders such as major depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and Schizophrenia. I have a passion for supporting the LGBTQIA+ community as I have background work in gender and sexuality. I enjoy working with all clients from all walks of life.

Hello! My name is Diana Yidi, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe clients to be the experts in their own lives, and I feel honored to have the privilege of walking alongside them to offer support. I am passionate about supporting clients as they build self-compassion, and experience growth, and healing. I have experience working with all age groups. I am comfortable treating depression, anxiety, life transitions, and have experience working closely with child abuse related issues and the impact of trauma. I have a special interest in working with teens, transitional-aged youth, and young adults.

Patients often tell me how they feel frustrated, hopeless, lost, and exhausted by the time they seek help. Therapy can give you a space to speak freely and listen to yourself in new and different ways. Many people I see in my practice are young adult children of immigrant parents who experience painful conflicts within their family of origin that lead to separation, emotional distance, or even estrangement. I also work with individuals who want support with exploring sexuality and gender identity in a nonjudgmental, open space for questioning. I also work with couples who want to change frustrating patterns in their relationship.

We should expect life to be challenging, but when we struggle to the point of suffering, it’s time to reset. I help adults and adolescents move from fear, suffering, and shame, back to a place of functioning and rediscovering meaning. Whether it is mood, functioning, relationships, or anxiety, we can discuss how to get life back in order. If you're concerned about drug or alcohol use, let's talk about your goals- treatment is not one-size-fits-all.

Pain in life is inevitable, but suffering is optional; let me help you move away from the suffering. We live in a culture that has taught us to ignore our emotions and inner intuitive wisdom, and 'think' all situations to death—meanwhile we already have in us all the untapped wisdom we need to face our lives and its challenges. We just need to learn to access this wisdom. Rather than pathologizing our thoughts and behaviors, therapy can be about discovering how you “get in your own way” by not knowing yourself as fully as you might. I am here to help you start to realize your full potential and move away from the suffering.

Our society teaches us to value independence, confidence and productivity – sometimes to the detriment of personal relationships and our own sense of self-worth. Almost daily we are bombarded with narrowly defined gender roles, and ‘rules’ around how we should look, act, think and feel. I enjoy collaborating with clients to reconsider the boundaries of their lives, how they create meaningful relationships, and in doing so, identify their preferred ways of engaging with the world around them. I have been a therapist for 10 years and in 2023 founded Avani Counseling, which serves clients all over California.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Marin County, California. In my practice, I offer individual psychotherapy and psychological consultation to adults and adolescents.

I am a Bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, ready to accompany you on your journey of healing. Beyond the title LMFT, I am just another human being. My goal is to provide you with the guidance, support, and tools you need to process emotions, overcome obstacles, and embrace life's unexpected turns.

As humans, it is natural to experience periods of intense difficulty, particularly when feeling overwhelmed by competing demands or relationship patterns that are no longer effective. Therapy can be a resource to help navigate healthy and authentic relationships, restore life balance, calm anxious thoughts, and regain overall wellbeing. I believe that we teach others how to treat us, and that setting effective and graceful boundaries is an attainable goal. When emotions become overpowering, our tendency is to avoid them, yet they provide important information that can be used to inform and move toward the life you want to live.
