Christian Therapists in San Francisco, CA

I offer a space where your pain can soften, your story can unfold gently, and you can be met with warmth and compassion without judgment. I draw from CBT, TF-CBT, MI, mindfulness, and person-centered, holistic practices — not as rigid techniques, but as tools we weave into the moments when you need grounding, clarity, or a way to steady yourself. Over time, your voice gets stronger. Your patterns make more sense. And the parts of you that learned to survive begin to feel safe enough to soften.

My aim is to provide a warm, supportive space where you feel heard and understood, gain meaningful insight, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over seven years of experience providing therapy to adolescents, adults, and families. I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused, creating a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe therapy should offer more than a place to talk. It’s an opportunity to gain insight, develop practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and make meaningful changes that support long-term emotional well-being.

Hi there, I’m Dr. O. Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed by worry, or caught in patterns of overthinking—about yourself or your relationships? Do you find it difficult to extend patience and compassion toward yourself? I provide therapy for adults (18 and older) navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward—especially after experiencing significant loss or major life changes. With over 10 years of clinical experience, I specialize in helping individuals rebuild, heal, and reconnect with themselves after difficult experiences, including relationship distress, grief, and family conflict. I believe that you are the expert of your own story. My role is to support you in uncovering your strengths, deepening emotional resilience, and creating meaningful, sustainable change. I use a collaborative, evidence-based approach tailored to your unique needs and goals. Together, we will work toward helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned in your life. Let’s begin.

But I’m so glad you found me and have taken the courageous step of being here. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and work with you on your journey to the life you dream of living! Therapy can be difficult to start and I encourage feedback for open communication for your best therapeutic experience!

Life’s transitions—career changes, family conflict, or the "empty nest"—can often shake our sense of identity and purpose. I specialize in helping individuals and families process these shifts through a lens of hope and Biblical resilience. As an LMFT with extensive experience in the public school system, I offer a "gentle balance" of clinical expertise and a faith-based worldview. In our sessions, we won’t just manage symptoms; we will work toward a solution that honors your values and focuses on the strengths God has given you. My goal is to help you move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling hope-filled, walking with you as you process the vast array of emotions attached to these seasons of change.

Hello! I’m Sandra V. Chávez, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Registered Psychological Assistant with the California Board of Psychology. I’m passionate about helping individuals grow both personally and emotionally through client-centered, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapies. As a first-generation Latina, I learned ambition, tenacity, and determination from my parents. My educational journey includes dual bachelor’s degrees in Liberal Arts and Sciences and Psychology, as well as a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. I’m currently on the path to becoming a licensed psychologist. Before entering the mental health field, I worked as a nurse and briefly attended medical school in Southern California. That experience deepened my interest in understanding the brain, human development, and the impact of environmental factors on behavior. I specialize in supporting clients through mood disorders, life transitions, and self-empowerment challenges. My strengths lie in helping individuals develop emotional intelligence, identify, and understand their emotions. I believe therapy should be tailored to each person’s unique needs, which is why I use an integrative, eclectic approach that draws from evidence-based methods and holistic practices, including mindfulness and positive psychology. I also enjoy working with individuals who incorporate their faith into their mental health journey. For those open to incorporating their faith as a tool for healing, I create a safe, welcoming space where spirituality and therapy work hand in hand. I can provide sessions in Spanish for those who seek therapy in their native language. Above all, I value building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. My goal is to offer a non-judgmental environment where your thoughts and emotions are respected and where real progress can be made. Together, we’ll explore strategies, assignments, and tools that help you overcome life’s hurdles and achieve lasting personal growth and fulfillment. Let’s begin this journey together!

If you are a client of Kaiser Permanente, it is necessary to obtain a referral from Kaiser before proceeding. Once you have received the referral, Kaiser will provide you with a link to schedule a session with me. I specialize in helping individuals as they navigate grief, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship challenges, and behavioral concerns. I understand that these struggles are not just diagnoses—they are lived experiences that can quietly shape how you see yourself, how you connect with others, and how you move through your day. Anxiety can feel like a constant hum in the background—keeping you on edge, overthinking, and emotionally worn down. Many people carry it for years without realizing how much it’s impacting their relationships and sense of peace. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep managing it by yourself. Depression is often misunderstood because it doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it feels like exhaustion, numbness, irritability, or simply going through the motions without feeling connected to your life. It can make even the smallest tasks feel heavy. But depression is treatable, and with the right support, it is possible to feel like yourself again. In our work together, I offer a space where you can be seen, heard, and understood—without judgment. My goal is not only to help you cope, but to help you reconnect with yourself, find clarity in what you’re feeling, and build a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and yours.

I'm excited to be here. I love my work with clients. My goal is to uplift my clients toward being in their best confident purposeful selves. You are welcome here. Let’s find your path to inner peace and personal growth. I offer a safe space where you can explore your feelings and thoughts, overcome challenges, and develop your full potential. Whether you're feeling anxiety or experiencing a life transition, I'm here to support you on your journey. Take your first step towards a happier, healthier you by experiencing the transformative power of therapy. With your interest, this is what we are able to do together: "Sierra Forest is a talented and empathic therapist who has the ability to help people change and transform their lives." Bob Shelby, LMFT, John F Kennedy University

Life can feel overwhelming when self-doubt, fear of rejection, past hurts, or negative thought patterns keep you feeling stuck. I believe therapy offers an opportunity to better understand yourself, gain insight into these patterns, and create meaningful change. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and an insight-oriented approach, I help clients identify the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that may be contributing to emotional distress. Together, we explore the challenges that are holding you back while building on the strengths you already possess. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. As you develop greater self-awareness and learn new ways to respond to life's challenges, you can begin making choices that support healing, growth, and emotional well-being. Change is not always easy, but taking the first step is often the most important. If you are ready to gain greater clarity, confidence, and peace, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

An experienced medical social worker, my niche is helping those recovering from chronic physical and emotional pain, mystery symptoms, illness and disease processes (including infertility, maternal loss, peri/menopause, terminal illness, limb loss, and caregiver role stress). My clients often have chronic pain, fatigue, migraines, fibromyalgia, back/neck/hip and other joint pains, pelvic floor pain, EDS, POTS, dysautonomia, CRPS, IBS, PMDD, and other chronic conditions. I especially love supporting those coping with feelings of low self worth, depression, anxiety, panic, trauma, and grief. I am importantly trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy and EAET -- the most current research backed methods for recovering from chronic pain that I especially love to share. Because they work! I am also trained in EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, and energy psychologies like EFT (aka “tapping”). I study Internal Family Systems Therapy, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and dream tending.  My authentic approach is also intimately informed by the wisdom traditions that have healed my own life. The mother of a child with a life threatening seizure disorder, I am not unfamiliar with suffering. I often turn to my spiritual faith, Jungian Psychology, nature, and the Wise Woman Herbalism Tradition. I am a life-long meditation, yoga, and reiki practitioner, and always a student of Buddhist Psychology. I find healing in stillness, puppies, humor, art, poetry, and the sacred. I love stories.

Hello and welcome. My name is Inessa -- I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 4 years of experience serving clients in private practice-type settings throughout the Sacramento area. Over these years, I have accumulated a passion for working with Clients looking to address challenges around their relationships (couples therapy), as well as neurodivergence and perinatal issues. I’m not a sit-back-and-nod type of therapist -- I love to collaborate with my clients to meet their goals and see them move past beliefs and/or patterns that have haunted them for many years. That being said, I show up as a grounded and collaborative therapist with an experiential approach. Outside of therapy, I am a wife, new(ish) mom, sister/daughter, musician, crafter, ADHD-er, and the occasional "world traveler". I was born and raised in Sacramento to Slavic immigrant parents. I am fluent in Russian and Ukrainian, and also provided therapy services in those languages.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes therapy is more than managing symptoms...it's about understanding yourself. I bring warmth, humor, authenticity, and thoughtful challenges into a space where you can be human, explore your experiences, and feel genuinely heard. I'm naturally curious about the connections between our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and lived experiences. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and honest. I believe in meeting you where you are while helping you discover where you want to grow.

NOTE: Unfortunately, my caseload is full for COUPLES THERAPY and I only conduct this in-person.

Hi! I am so glad you're here. Are you looking for a therapist you can connect with and will help you grow? I am passionate about helping teens and adults heal from traumatic experiences and overcome mental health challenges. It takes a lot of bravery to ask for help and examine your patterns of behavior. It is a honor to walk alongside clients and help them create meaningful change and healing. I am trained in the cutting edge treatment method of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). EMDR is primarily used to help treat and heal trauma, anxiety, phobias, and distressing life events. Many of the clients report symptom relief through EMDR that they were previously unable to achieve in talk therapy alone, I would love to talk more and see if EMDR is a good fit for you!

Hi, I'm Yesenia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker first generation Latina with over 13 years of experience in mental health field. I specialize in helping children, adolescents, parents, couples, and families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My background includes clinical therapy, behavioral interventions, family court services, and family law mediation. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe therapy should be a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Fontana, CA. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University in Malibu in 2020. I work with various age groups to help them find healing, manage their symptoms, and achieve their treatment goals- and I am so honored to be part of that process with my clients.

Hello and Welcome! Are there moments in your life where you wished things could go better? Have you noticed changes in being able to connect with yourself (mind/body) or being able to connect with others (friends, family, new acquaintances)? Have you wondered what's wrong with your self-care? What habits are interfering with leveling up? I want to start by recognizing the tremendous courage and step forward in seeking therapy. I utilize a whole person, strength based, and compassionate approach to understanding your problems. My goal is to support you by listening and helping you find solutions that will work for you. I utilize a cultural humility and solutions focused approach to ensure that you are in the driver seat and I can be your headlights in reaching that destination. I pull from a variety of evidence-based practices and consider myself eclectic in style. In our sessions, therapy should feel natural, conversational, safe and overall be a space to promote healing. We all need someone to talk to, so let's work together. Tambien hablo Espanol.

Welcome, I am so glad you are here! Taking the first step toward therapy requires immense courage, and I want you to know right from the start that you are in the right place, and you do not have to go through this alone. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California, I bring over 10 years of heartfelt experience across a variety of settings. I earned my Master’s Degree from California State University, Fullerton, and have had the absolute privilege of walking alongside people of all ages and walks of life. Over the last decade, I have helped individuals navigate anxiety and depression, the deep pain of loss and grief, the uncertainty of major life transitions, and the heavy exhaustion of burnout. I also work closely with those untangling the complexities of past trauma, navigating relationship dynamics, and quieting the critical inner voice to build genuine self-esteem. Whatever challenges you are facing, we will work hand-in-hand to help you find clarity, reclaim your story, and discover your inner strength. I want this to be a safe space where you unpack your story whenever you're ready. Your cultural background, social justice concerns, and the unique history that shapes who you are matters in this journey. I also warmly welcome the integration of spirituality and faith for anyone who wishes to weave those meaningful pieces into their healing journey. You get to show up exactly as you are today, knowing that all of you is safe and welcome. If you feel ready to take that next step, I invite you to schedule a session.

I approach therapy with warmth, honesty, and compassion. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported enough to explore difficult experiences while also feeling gently challenged to grow. I care deeply about creating a therapeutic relationship where people feel respected, understood, and able to approach difficult parts of their lives with curiosity rather than judgment. Outside of therapy, I enjoy paddle boarding in the summer, long conversations with loved ones over a leisurely meal, and just about anything related to musical theater. I’m also a big fan of ceramics and afternoon naps—two things that help me stay grounded and appreciate small moments of creativity and rest.

I'm an LMFT based in California, and for the past 15 years, my passion has been helping adults (18+) break free from the patterns that keep them feeling limited and frustrated. I help you clarify your needs and guide you toward making the responsible choices that lead to deep, sustainable change in your life and relationships. I have a Master's from Hope International University and am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Psychology.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about the challenges you are facing. My background in marriage and family therapy, professional clinical counseling, and behavioral health has given me experience supporting individuals through a variety of emotional, relational, and life challenges. I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their individual experiences. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and feel supported as you work toward meaningful and lasting change.

You’re the one everyone counts on. Who’s holding you up? You show up for your job, your family, your aging parent, your friends, and you make it look easy. Inside, you’re exhausted, stretched thin, or not quite feeling like yourself. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps overwhelmed, high-functioning adults and caregivers understand how stress is affecting their mind and body, so they can feel steadier, more grounded, and more like themselves again. Here’s what makes my approach different. Stress doesn’t only live in your thoughts. It shows up in your sleep, your shoulders, your patience, and your energy. As a certified yoga teacher currently training to become a yoga therapist, I combine practical talk therapy tools with mindfulness and body-based practices, so you leave sessions with something you can use that same night. I grew up between two cultures and worked overseas as an NGO worker, and I’m fluent in English, Korean, and Japanese. If you carry expectations from more than one world, such as the dutiful child, the reliable one, or the one who “should” be able to handle it, I understand the in-between, and you won’t have to translate your story for me. My role isn’t to tell you how to live. I ask thoughtful questions, offer fresh perspectives, and help you reconnect with strengths you already have, even when stress, grief, or change make them hard to reach. You don’t have to wait until you hit a wall. Reach out today and let’s start where you are.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. My goal is to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. I strive to bring a calm, non-anxious presence into the room while keeping therapy warm, conversational, and human. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety and panic disorders, OCD, ADHD, relationship concerns, and sexual dysfunctions. I also enjoy working with healthcare professionals and people who tend to overthink or feel like they don’t quite “fit in.” My approach is person-centered at its core, meaning I believe therapy works best when clients feel accepted and supported as they are. I then integrate different therapeutic approaches depending on each client’s needs and goals. I believe effective therapy is both human and clinical — connection matters, but so do practical tools and evidence-based strategies. In working with OCD and anxiety, I often remind clients that growth takes practice and consistency. Healing is possible, but it requires learning how to tolerate discomfort rather than avoid it. For couples, I view the relationship as a team. Therapy can help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and better understand one another. Faith-based or Christian counseling is also available for clients who would like to incorporate spirituality into therapy.

Hello, I am a psychotherapist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has 30+ years of experience. with children, families, adults, and veterans. Many of my clients have been challenged with OCD, Anxiety , Depression, Grief, Chronic Illness and Bipolar Disorder and addictions. In addition I have worked with children and adults in the autism spectrum (mainly high functioning/previous Asperger's disorder). I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with supportive and psychodynamic techniques to help clients develop a new skill set that can be helpful in their lives. You can experience less anxiety and increased confidence and self esteem. CBT can strengthen your ability to take charge of persistent negative thoughts and reframe their negative perspective taking by substituting a healthier understanding of their life. I implement a strong Cognitive Therapy Approach because research has shown the benefits and success of "CBT" as a framework for treatment planing in threading. I use worksheets, supportive therapy, talking therapy, and book reviews for you to better understand your journey are helpful avenues in counseling. Therapy can be an intimidating thought if you have never experienced and received the benefits of developing skills to work through the issues that are bringing you to therapy. In working together we can find the tools that are helpful to you for successful therapy.

Hi, I’m Sandy. I have a passion for working with children and teenagers who are facing challenges in school, dealing with anxiety, depression, anger issues, peer relationships, or family struggles.

Together, we’ll set meaningful goals and explore strategies to help navigate life’s ups and downs. I’m excited to work with you and help you achieve the growth and change you're seeking. I look forward to meeting you!

I provide a warm and welcoming space, free of judgements and bias. I am here to meet you right where you are because some seasons of life can be more challenging that others. I firmly believe that having a safe space to explore your thoughts openly can bring so much healing and growth. I will both, work with you and challenge you when needed. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I have built my career and experience on working to support children, teens, couples and adults. I have shifted gears to working primarily with adults in an individual setting to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and traumas while supporting life transitions. My clientele is made up of a mix of individuals facing challenges in life with adjusting to changes in life stages, experiencing overwhelming emotions and needing some help in building coping and balance with life's stressors, and those wanting to improve communication skills to achieve their relationship goals. If you are experiencing a life transition of any kind (career change, divorce, growing a family, struggling with grief and loss, being part of the sandwich generation -caring for aging parents while navigating into learning boundaries of parenting adult children, or a boomerang kid- -moved out and enjoyed independence from home, but life circumstances brought you back to your childhood home) I am here to help work through those challenges. If you've experienced trauma of sexual assault or suppressed sexual abuse for so long and see that it is now showing up and impacting your relationships and responses to the world around you- feeling fearful, difficulty trusting others, people pleasing, or feel like you have to wear a mask to get through daily life and keep things hidden, we will work at your pace.

I am a spiritual, animal-loving practitioner dedicated to healing with integrity, authenticity, kindness, and warmth. Specializing in trauma, my journey began in substance abuse counseling, where I developed a deep understanding of addiction. As someone in recovery myself, I bring empathy and compassion to those navigating their own struggles. I have worked with clients ages 5 to 76 across diverse settings, including equine therapy, foster care, inpatient and residential treatment, PHP, incarceration settings, VA settings, and services supporting survivors of human trafficking, sexual abuse, and domestic violence. I have also volunteered my time advocating for men and women through the court system. My approach integrates a wide range of therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, IPT, inner child work, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, EMDR, and somatic therapies. I believe healing is deeply personal and nonlinear, and I strive to meet each client where they are with compassion, authenticity, and respect for their unique journey

Hi! I applaud you for taking this step in your therapy journey! I hold dual credentials as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of California. I completed my Masters in Counseling from Cal State Fullerton in 2015. I serve individuals managing stress and life transitions resulting in depressive and anxiety symptoms. I have a special interest in social anxiety as well as Autism Spectrum Disorders.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I bring warmth, authenticity, humor, and real-life perspective into the therapeutic space, recognizing that healing isn't always a straight line. I draw from evidence-based practices while honoring each person's unique experiences, strengths, and cultural background. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop practical tools, and recognize that meaningful change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. Therapy with me is an active, collaborative process. I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood, while also being gently challenged to explore patterns, gain insight, and develop meaningful change. I don't believe therapy is about telling you what to do or how to live your life. Instead, we'll work together to identify your strengths, build practical coping strategies, and help you find your own voice. I bring warmth, honesty, humor, and encouragement into our work, but I also believe that growth requires participation, reflection, and a willingness to try something different.

Hi, I’m Stephanie Sorensen, a bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. specialize in anxiety and depression, often working with college students, young professionals, and parents. Whether you’re navigating school or career pressures, balancing your own needs, or feeling overwhelmed by expectations, therapy can offer space to feel understood and supported. My approach draws from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work. Together, we’ll build practical coping tools, explore emotional patterns with compassion, and work toward meaningful change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) originally from just outside of New York City and currently live in San Diego. Working to support the mental health of others is truly my greatest honor. We are often programmed by our previous experiences, culture, and past trauma to believe a false narrative about ourselves. Utilizing the therapeutic alliance, I help clients to resolve negative, false, or limiting beliefs that may be hindering their ability to step into their true identities. We do not have to continue to live out the script that we inherited or feel the need to live in the shadows. Instead, we can live with intension, purpose, and a sense of gratitude.

Have you found yourself wondering, “What is going on, and how do I make things better?” Whether you’re concerned about your child, navigating the challenges of adolescence, or facing difficulties in your own life, you may be wondering if it’s time to talk to someone who can help. Often, we feel we should be able to figure things out or manage life’s challenges on our own. But working with a skilled mental health professional can make all the difference. Therapy offers more than a space to talk; it provides the guidance, expertise, and supportive therapeutic relationship needed to navigate difficult experiences, understand complex emotions, and create meaningful, lasting change. I enjoy getting to know each person as a unique individual and tailoring my approach to their needs. With children and adolescents, I focus on fostering self-esteem, strengthening emotional regulation, and helping them understand and express their feelings in healthier ways which improves behavior and relationships. With adults, I help uncover underlying patterns and experiences that may contribute to relationship difficulties and emotional distress. Across all ages, I work to help clients develop greater self-understanding, build on their inherent capacity for growth, and experience a more fulfilling life.

I specialize in supporting high-capacity women and their children as they navigate betrayal, burnout, and major life changes.

I’m a therapist who values creating a space where you can show up as you are and feel truly heard and supported. My approach is integrative, drawing from CBT, DBT, EMDR, and strength-based therapy, depending on what fits you best. I also offer the option to incorporate faith into sessions if that’s something you’re looking for. I believe healing is possible, even when it feels far away, and that you already carry strengths we can build on together.

Are you struggling to manage relationships, work and your over all health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Is it hard to learn to love yourself?

Hi, I’m Shant Bardakjian, an LMFT based in Pasadena, CA, providing telehealth to adults across California. If you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or the chaos of major life transitions, you don't have to carry this alone. I specialize in transforming internal chaos into lasting relief. I view your challenges through a compassionate, person-centered lens, tailoring my tools to what you need in the moment: • CBT & Mindfulness: To quiet anxiety and depression and ground your mind. • Narrative Therapy: To creatively untangle past trauma and rewrite your future. • Solution-Focused Therapy: To build practical, actionable strategies for immediate relief. Finding the right therapist is about connection. With over 12 years of clinical experience and navigating my own life trials, I bring a deeply honed intuition and a calm, kind, and highly approachable presence to every session. I don't just sit back and nod. I look past the surface to track unspoken patterns. I am gentle and supportive, but also direct when it serves your growth—kindly holding up a mirror to challenge old habits. This balance ensures our sessions are safe, honest, and effective, translating insights into tangible improvements in your everyday life and relationships. Our first session is simply a low-pressure, comfortable chat. It feels a bit different from future sessions because it's a gentle, zero-pressure space to learn your history and see the big picture. We move entirely at your pace, and you only share what you are ready to tell me. My goal is for you to leave feeling deeply heard, a little lighter, and confident that you have a trusted guide.
