By phone
The fastest way to reach us. If we cannot pick up, leave a message with your name and number and we will call back within 24 hours, unless it is a weekend or a holiday.
Get in touch
Call us. It is a short conversation.
There is no form to fill in and no intake portal to get through first. You call, you tell us roughly what is going on, and we take it from there.
Ways to reach us
By email
Fine for scheduling and general questions. Please do not include private health information. Ordinary email is not secure, and we would rather have that conversation on the phone.
The office
1934 Divisadero Street
San Francisco, CA 94115
Existing clients
Reach your therapist through the contact details they gave you, or call the practice line and we will pass a message along.
The first call
What we will ask you.
Ten or fifteen minutes, with someone who knows the whole clinical team. Roughly: what brings you now, whether you have been in therapy before and how that went, what you are hoping changes, and the practical constraints: when you can meet, what you can afford, in person or online.
You are also interviewing us. Reasonable things to ask: who would I be seeing and what is their training, how do you actually work, how long do you think this takes, what does it cost, and what happens if it is not a fit.
You do not need to have your situation well organized before you call. Most people do not, and describing it out loud to someone is often the first useful thing that happens.
If you need help now
Urgent support.
Our office is not staffed around the clock and this website is not monitored. If you are in danger or thinking about ending your life, please use one of these instead of waiting for a call back.
