UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Fillmore, San Francisco, CA

I believe that connections shape our everyday life and overall well-being. With that in mind, the core of my philosophy is to build a trusting and nurturing relationship with you in order for therapy to be successful. I bring compassion, warmth, and trust to each individual that I work with. I can assist in building upon your own strengths and abilities in order to live more authentically and with a greater sense of self-compassion. My practice is open to children, teenagers, and adults of all cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

You might be feeling overwhelmed or anxious about the prospect of embarking in therapy. It takes a lot of strength to take the first step to reach out for support, and you are well on your way to starting your journey of self-discovery. Perhaps you are confronting inner scripts that no longer serve you, struggling with restrictive thoughts and beliefs, or even re-visiting therapy for help with a specific challenge. Whatever the case, I will meet you where you are in your process, create the space for you to show up authentically, and provide the support you need to embark on your own inner exploration.

I work with people who are open to exploring why they sometimes react in ways that may get in the way of healthy relationships, and are motivated to gain insight into the many aspects of their personalities, in efforts to discover their authentic selves.

Any of these thoughts sound familiar? What if I harm someone? What if I harm myself? What if I act on an urge to do something I really don’t want to do? What if I am a bad person and just fooling everyone? What if I touched something that could contaminate me or my family? What if I want to act on that sexual thought I really didn’t like? What if I go to jail for something I did but forgot or didn't know? What if that thing I did will come back to haunt me? What if I cheat on my partner? What if I am with the 'wrong' partner even though I love my partner? What if my sexual orientation will change even though I don't want it to?

I am a practical therapist helping clients deal with their relationships, addiction, depression, anxiety,job stress, loneliness, anger, grief. I work with women as they face their unique challenges including childbirth, miscarriage, menopause, and so much more. I have extended experience and compassion working with those who struggle with addiction or live with someone who does. I also focus my practice to help individuals, couples, and families cope with life challenges. I offer a warm and nonjudgmental atmosphere where you can share your dreams and hopes. Although there may be tears, I also believe in sharing laughter. Both are healing.

Counselor and Therapist for Men: Gay, Straight, or Bi. Feeling stuck, depressed, isolated, or anxious? Escaping via porn or addictions? We live in a complicated world, a world where we often need a guide and trusted advisor to help us. I help men discover where they fit in the world, how to find love and acceptance from self and other, how to navigate life challenges, and how to find greater meaning and happiness in life. My work is one of my greatest passions and I have many success stories.

Throughout my experience as a therapist, I have helped highly empathic adults and transitional age youth better manage the increasingly complex and challenging world we live in. My experience is deeply rooted in treating trauma, anxiety, and OCD. I am licensed to practice in Massachusetts and California, primarily working with individual clients.

Are you curious about the therapy process but not certain if you want to commit to months of longer term therapy but are seeking some relief right now? My practice offers Solution Focused, Brief Therapy to help with current stressors, hands on problem solving techniques, and doable, accessible coping skills to help you manage your emotions and stressors. Sometimes you just need someone to talk to, but not sure if you can commit long term therapy just yet...and that's okay. You deserve support too.

Hi there! I am most passionate about helping young/emerging adults, college students, teens, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds because I believe these populations are often unseen and struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and multicultural intergenerational trauma. Asian Americans from immigrant families hits close to home! I believe therapy is for you if you are seeking support & personal growth, feeling lost, burnt out, and alone, or even if you have thought about trying therapy and you are unsure if you need it. I aim to help you improve your life and regain control over your mental health.

I work with individuals and couples who present with a diverse collection of strengths, challenges, and goals in life. I provide a space, whether in person or telehealth, that allows for people to feel accepted for who they are without judgement or shame. I work along side each individual or couple to define goals of treatment so we know when to celebrate or to redefine our objectives. I like to explore values, emotions and thoughts to identify opportunity for positive change. In addition to these qualities of my practice, my perspectives are grounded in feminist principles, Buddhist philosophy, and attachment theory.

Connecting with a therapist is an excellent way to begin healing and working towards your mental health goals. My name is Taj-Zsa Hower, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, as well as the owner of Minding My Own Therapy. I have over 9 years of experience and professional training providing mental health services to a multitude of diverse individuals and couples. I primarily specialize in working with Perinatal & Postpartum women, those dealing with Identity issues, provide support to Couples experiencing difficulties, work with college students, and treat those struggling with Anxiety & Depression.

Do you worry about (or avoid) certain situations for fear of panic attacks/shortness of breath/stomach distress/intrusive thoughts of anticipated catastrophe? Do you stay up at night worrying about that thing you said/did/didn’t do/remembered/forgot/found on WebMD's symptom checker? Do you have specific fears that paralyze you? You may have an anxiety disorder. Anxiety sucks, therapy can help! I specialize in helping you put anxiety in its rightful place. Every emotion needs a place at the table, but when anxiety is the loudest (or only) voice life becomes out of balance, and our choices no longer feel like conscious decisions.
