Top therapists in San Francisco, CA accepting new patients
I received my master's degree from the University of Southern California in Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health.
I began my career serving diverse communities across Los Angeles County, working in community mental health centers, at the Department of Mental Health, and in specialized treatment programs.
Through these roles, I gained extensive experience in trauma recovery, substance use treatment, crisis intervention, and supporting individuals facing life’s most complex challenges.
With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in providing individual therapy for adults (18+).
Hi, I’m Angela Phillips, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and owner of Lotus Healing and Wellness. I help teens and adults navigate trauma, anxiety, identity exploration, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions through trauma-informed, inclusive, and affirming therapy, with a special commitment to supporting women and the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live as their truest, most authentic self. I also believe we all have the capacity to transform our lives, though sometimes we need support, guidance, and a safe space to begin that process. I know what it feels like to believe you have to hide parts of yourself or become someone else in order to be loved or accepted, and that understanding deeply shapes the way I show up as a therapist.
My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, heal the patterns and survival strategies that no longer serve you, and create a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and emotionally fulfilling.
I commit to supporting your growth whilst challenging your outdated defense mechanisms. Old patterns got you this far, and my Gestalt training allows me to see your obstacles as creative adjustments. I will empower you to choose, consciously, what works and what works no longer.
As a licensed psychologist for 30 years, I am passionate about helping people struggling with life challenges find joy and stability.
Hi there! I am a trilingual psychotherapist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work from NYU and hold a Bachelor of Music from UC Santa Barbara. Throughout my career in private, community, and digital health settings, I have specialized in supporting both pediatric and adult populations through multi-state telehealth. My primary areas of expertise include working with clients managing anxiety, behavioral challenges, life transitions, and crisis intervention. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward growth and healing!
I have a passion for helping individuals heal from trauma and navigate changes in their life. I have extensive training in trauma informed modalities, and have had excellent outcomes.
Ready to feel more connected, confident, and in control of your life? Whether you’re facing relationship struggles, overwhelming emotions, or challenges around identity, you deserve a space where you feel truly seen and supported.
I’m Rocio Vaca, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17+ years of experience helping couples, individuals, children, and teens create meaningful, lasting change.
For couples, I help turn conflict and disconnection into stronger communication, deeper friendship, and emotional intimacy.
I provide an affirming, judgment-free space for those exploring identity, preparing to come out, building self-acceptance, or navigating gender-affirming care. Together, we can strengthen resilience and address anxiety, depression, and stress.
I am a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience providing specialized, confidential telehealth. My practice is built to support ambitious individuals—including busy professionals and dedicated college students—navigating high-pressure environments, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
Because your schedule is already packed with work or demanding coursework, I offer dedicated session times outside standard hours, including early mornings and weekends. Whether you are dealing with academic/professional burnout, family-of-origin issues, or deep emotional blocks, I provide a warm, inclusive space to unburden those patterns. I practice fluidly in English, Spanish, and Spanglish, honoring your unique cultural or bicultural lived experience.
Prior to starting my private practice, I practiced for several years at a mental health agency. I accumulated experience working with children, adolescents, and adults while using individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy in an effort to meet each client's needs and allow for maximum growth and overall well-being. I’ve always wanted to help individuals around me evolve and overcome difficult situations that life puts people in and felt that marriage and family therapy was the field that encompassed most of the practices I wanted to expand on. I am certified in several evidence-based practices (EBP), which is the concept that occupational practices ought to be based on scientific evidence for maximal progress and successful outcomes. I am certified in the following EBPs: Cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, positive parenting, and managing and adapting practices.
