Bipolar Disorder Therapists in San Francisco, CA

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, anger, addiction, or in your relationships? Do you feel "stuck"? As painful as it is, it also a galvanizing force in your life, telling you it's time for things to change. As someone who has struggled with debilitating depression and anxiety myself, I know firsthand the power of therapy to create a life filled with joy and peace. You are not alone in your struggle, and you don't have to stay where you are! Let this be the day you take that first step - to become the person you were made to be, and fulfill the unique calling on your life.

I strive to pursue an authentic relationship with my clients using strong communication skills and complete transparency. I believe each individual is an expert in their own life, and therefore collaboration is highly valued in my work process. I specialize in young adults, adults, couples, and families with emphasis on trauma, anxiety/depression, life transitions, and other personality disorders.

Everyone deserves to live a life filled with purpose, meaning and pleasure. From time to time, we struggle with the unavoidable difficulties of life and begin to feel anxious, down, or sometimes feel stuck. I appreciate helping clients engage in self-exploration so that they can cease struggling and start living a life they want to live. We all deserve to have gratifying relationships with ourselves and other. We all deserve to have gratifying relationships with ourselves and other. Sometime, however, conditions get in the way. We may be incognizant of the motivations behind our actions.

Longing for a different outcome? Want to write a new story? You are probably hoping to find support with the process of healing something that isn't feeling right. Psychotherapy can help by offering an accepting space to look, non-judgmentally, at whatever feels stuck, painful, or unresolved. Use my support and encouragement to help you approach these challenges in new ways, and find new solutions. My goal is to provide you with acceptance and ways to access your own innate wisdom and energy. I offer individual and relationship psychotherapy. Short and long term therapy options are available, depending on your concerns and goals.

I offer remote sessions that fit your needs. 2022 can be a great time to begin therapy and check in on your goals. Are you ready to make some changes?

I help people find more ease, more satisfaction, more confidence and more connection to themselves and others. By creating an atmosphere for learning, discovery and healing, I have seen many clients go through a deep transformative process.

Meaningful relationships are an essential part of fulfillment and happiness. I believe in the unique power of the relationship that develops between therapist and client. Through an exploration of this interaction, we can more wholly understand your past and current relationships and help shape future experiences. I work with people who are struggling in a variety of ways and are ready to dig in and do some difficult and deeply powerful work that will lead to greater choice and freedom. I view my opportunity to join individuals in their journey toward self-understanding as a great privilege and find the work exciting and gratifying.

I like to help my clients learn about intense emotions coming in waves like on an ocean and how to notice body sensations which then escalate into undesired behaviors. With a combination of CBT and DBT tools, I like to educate my clients about the purpose and necessity of all emotions and how to step away from feelings that could result in "problem behaviors" which only make things worse. Once we learn how to manage this phenomena, we can feel successful to move on to work on more difficult relationships in our adult lives that cause us trouble whether it be interpersonal familial, or work.

Are you making it through the day, looking to the rest of the world as if you're doing just fine, but deep down inside you feel stuck and uninspired? Do you wonder what is holding you back from thriving in the world? In our hectic world we often find ourselves afraid to take risks that could jeopardize the stable lives we've created for ourselves. We remain in jobs, relationships and old patterns that no longer work, while symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger and self-defeating patterns keep us from making real changes to our lives.

Feeling overwhelmed in your relationship? Struggling to connect with your partner or to move past hurt and resentment? You're not alone. Many couples face insurmountable challenges, but there is hope and a way forward. As a specialist in couples therapy and marriage counseling, I'm dedicated to helping couples navigate the complexities of their relationships, rebuild trust, and deepen their connection. My expertise lies in guiding couples through the healing process, particularly after the pain of infidelity, using the Gottman Method — a research-based approach known for its effectiveness in improving marital/couples satisfaction.

Relationships are challenging no matter what. They are especially difficult if you've had minimal guidance in learning healthy ways of dealing with conflict or asking for what you need. This lack of exposure to healthy ways of relating can show up in friendships, in a romantic relationship or at work through behaviors such as avoidance, accommodation or other ineffective actions. The result is disconnection and dissatisfaction. It is important to understand how you show up in relationship in order to make a healthy change. I am here to help you with this process.

I work with adults who have identified challenges with: anxiety, depression, mood volatility, communication issues, codependency, identity exploration, interpersonal relationship challenges, trauma-related stress, navigation of experiences due to marginalized identities, neurodiversity, life transitions, impact of systems and social justice work, sleep issues, and/or general discomfort of "that something" in life that is needing a change.

In my nearly 10 years of clinical experience, I have found utilizing a person-centered approach to treatment to be most effective. I believe we all have our own unique life and cultural experiences and strengths that we bring with us, and effective treatment should be individualized/tailored to the person, with consideration being given to those experiences. Gaining a better understanding of you, the challenges you are facing, and the goals and expectations you have for treatment will set the framework for determining the treatment approach that will be best suited to address your needs and help you achieve your established goals.

Hello. I'm Claudia. Hola! Hablo español. Helping others and being a support has always been my passion. For the past 20 years, I have worked in the mental health field, helping individuals and families during times of crisis, brought on by various stressors, mental health conditions and/or past or current trauma(s). I believe healing from trauma, whether it is a single or complex trauma, can happen in many forms. I see you as the expert in your life and me as a support person who is happy to share knowledge and tools.

I believe that the therapy process is a practice of paying attention to what is actually happening - it sounds simple, but this is actually a deeply profound and challenging stance to maintain towards life. The work we do in therapy involves bringing elements of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, how we relate to ourselves and to others, and how we move through the world, from the darkness of the unconscious into the light of consciousness where we can take a look at them. We do not have to struggle and toil in order to implement change in our lives.
