Potrero Hill Psychotherapy, with offices in San Francisco and Oakland, is a group of highly trained and experienced psychologists dedicated to excellence in the practice of psychotherapy. Our psychotherapy practice offers comprehensive counseling to adults, adolescents, and children. In addition, we specialize in couples counseling, pre-marital/marriage counseling, family therapy and group counseling. Our aim is to promote emotional well-being, satisfaction with oneself, personal growth, and contentment in work and relationships.

Our approach to psychotherapy is based on psychodynamic principles that explore thoughts and feelings related to present difficulties as a function of the past. This form of counseling examines the complexities of interpersonal relationships, including the developing relationship with the therapist. Additionally, our psychologists incorporate cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and other techniques into psychotherapy depending on each individual’s unique needs and presenting issues.

Our psychologists understand that support is often needed to maneuver through professional/academic transitions, regain creative focus, and negotiate conflicted relationships with family, peers, and co-workers. Psychotherapy is a useful means to achieve success in these areas.

Potrero Hill Psychotherapy is committed to assisting families in times of distress. We work individually with children and adolescents to improve school performance, social skills, and maladaptive behaviors. Our specializations include ADHD, developmental disabilities, autism/PDD, foster children, divorce, and single parenting.

As of a group of female psychologists, we are experienced in addressing the emotional needs of girls and women. We recognize the unique and difficult challenges that girls and women face in today’s society and thus are committed to treating issues such as: prenatal and postpartum depression (PPD), reproductive issues, mothering with a mental illness, custody issues, sexual abuse/trauma, domestic violence, self-confidence, body image, trust, anxiety/stress, relationship difficulties, and communication/assertiveness skills.

We are conveniently located in the Potrero Hill area of San Francisco where there is plenty of parking and sunshine. We also have an office in the Rockridge district of Oakland. We can be contacted at 415-487-7402 or by email at potrerohillpsych@aol.com.
