Hello! I am so glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting teens and young adults through anxiety, depression, and life stressors. I believe in meeting clients where they are, with empathy, curiosity, and respect, while creating a safe and supportive space for growth. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, focused on helping clients feel understood, empowered, and capable of navigating life’s challenges. Together, we work at a pace that feels comfortable, building insight, resilience, and practical tools to support emotional well‑being.

I believe that everyone should have a safe and healing place to work through life’s challenges and create positive change in their lives. As a licensed LMFT therapist, I support clients towards their self-discovery process through the transformative power of psychotherapy to create meaningful changes in life, empower unique gifts and purpose, and enhance mental and emotional well-being. I believe that each of us possesses an internal source of insight and wisdom that can be cultivated through therapy. My approach is warm, relational, strengths-based and trauma-informed. I work from a place of compassion, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. Whether you are looking for guidance, improved relationships, insight, or to develop healthy coping strategies, you can make meaningful changes in your life one step at a time. So I encourage you to take time for yourself to nurture your mental and emotional well-being, activating your innate ability to cultivate a more fulfilling and balanced life.

I value authenticity, humor when it fits, and creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship stress, life transitions, or just feeling stuck, my goal is to help you feel more confident, regulated, and aligned with the life you want to build.

I feel very fortunate to have grown up in the Bay Area, but never truly appreciated it until I left and came back. I attended high school in Marin at the Branson School in Ross. After High School I left for Wheaton College in Massachusetts where I earned a B.A. in Psychology. I moved to Florida where I received my Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Central Florida. Prior to earning my Masters in Psychology I spent a number of years working in child and adolescent residential treatment centers in both San Francisco and Orlando, Florida. It was at this time that I fell in love with working with adolescents, adults, and their families. After graduate school, I found myself working for, and soon thereafter managing, an inpatient treatment program for adolescents who had experienced severe trauma. I returned to California for good in 2011 where I started working as the Lead Therapist for the Adolescent Outpatient Program at Fremont Hospital. I opened a part time private practice in 2012 and transitioned to a full time practice in San Francisco in early 2013.

Over human history, people have mostly lived in close-knit communities. This has eroded with the advances in transportation and technology. Most people have lost much of the social support our forebearers enjoyed. Mental Health Professionals have taken on this role in their respective communities and are an excellent resource for you to realize your strengths and improve your well-being. When your car breaks down you take it to a mechanic. When your tooth hurts you see a dentist. When your mental health can use a “tune-up,” see a Mental Health Professional!

My praxis acknowledges and aims to support the village needed by all.  I’m also passionate about the transformative impact of safe and brave spaces for those who often experience exclusion. My career has afforded me opportunities to build trust with LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, Latina/o/x, and Refugee communities across the nation.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. Originally from Taiwan, I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University. Over the course of my career, I have worked with a diverse range of individuals and communities, including children and families, adolescents, transitional-age youth, young adults, older adults, men, women, couples, LGBTQ+ individuals, and justice-involved populations.

I strive to create a respectful and supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward meaningful change.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I work with teens and young adults who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating—especially within family and relationship dynamics. I help clients understand what’s driving their reactions and build practical ways to manage emotions, communicate more effectively, and feel more in control in their daily lives and relationships.

You might look like you have it together on the outside—but inside, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Maybe you’re constantly overthinking, carrying a lot on your own, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your relationships. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 10 years of experience. I provide compassionate, trauma-informed care for individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief/loss, and past trauma. My approach is warm, grounded, and direct. I’ll meet you with empathy, but I’ll also help you understand your patterns, gently challenge what’s no longer serving you, and build practical tools that create real, lasting change. My goal is for you to feel more grounded, understood, and confident in how you move through your life and relationships. I am also a mother of three and the founder of Groundwork Counseling Center, a nonprofit organization focused on expanding access to mental health care.

My name is Palei, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with over 10 years of experience. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but my approach is anything but one-size-fits-all. My passion is helping people create a safe space to explore, process, and better understand the complexity of who they are. I consider myself an unorthodox therapist—I self-disclose when it’s appropriate, because I want my clients to know I’m a real person, not a detached clinician. My own life experiences, from childhood to now, have shaped a deep sense of empathy and authenticity in the way I show up for others. What sets me apart is my positive attitude and the fact that I practice what I teach. The same skills I share with clients are ones I use daily in my own life, and they’ve allowed me to create a life worth living. I’ll never ask something of my clients that I wouldn’t ask of myself, and I believe that makes our work together grounded, genuine, and collaborative.
