Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in helping trauma survivors, including childhood and/or adult sexual trauma survivors, reclaim the life they were meant to live. Despite the technological divide, I have a felt sense of being in resonance with my clients, sensing when they can use support, or a life vest, and when they feel resourced enough to delve into some deeper waters. I draw on somatic psychotherapy, EMDR, neuroscience, energy psychology, and parts work along with the more traditional psychodynamic approach. Feel free to contact me for a free 15 min phone consultation to learn more.

Many of us reach out when we feel the need for support, or help working through challenging times. Sometimes we face challenges we think are too difficult to manage alone. At San Francisco Counseling Collective ("SFCC"), we believe in taking a strength-based, client-centered approach to psychotherapy, working with you to help you grow toward your best self. The familiar ways you have of dealing with life's complications may not be working; together we can work to identify new positive means of change.

Hi there!
I love working with adults who want to better understand their relationship to sex. I often do so through deep trauma work and psychedelic assisted therapy. I primarily use IFS (parts work) as a modality and offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy along with general psychedelic integration.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I offer secure, confidential online therapy for individuals, couples, and families, making it easier to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Virtual sessions allow for flexibility while maintaining the same level of care, thoughtfulness, and engagement as in-person work.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for those with busy schedules, travel constraints, or who simply feel more at ease meeting from home. I work to ensure that sessions remain focused, connected, and meaningful, even in a virtual setting.
For clients seeking family-building evaluations or time-sensitive services, online appointments also allow for quicker scheduling and efficient completion of the process without compromising quality.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Therapy with me is active, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices—we are doing real work together, not just talking about your week. Each session is intentional and engaging, focused on creating meaningful insight and change you can feel in your daily life.
I see myself as a warm, intuitive, and deeply attentive therapist who believes that meaningful change happens when people feel truly safe, accepted, and understood. My goal is to offer a nonjudgmental space where you can exhale—where you don’t have to have the right words, the right story, or the right reason to be there. Therapy with me is about feeling heard, finding clarity where things have felt confusing or stuck, and reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels real and sustainable.
I am deeply passionate about relationships, emotional honesty, self-acceptance, and the quiet, often unseen struggles people carry. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why they’re unhappy when, on the surface, life looks “fine.” I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, co-dependency, shame, guilt, and the lasting impact of past experiences or trauma. I also help people talk about things that are hard to name—topics that may feel embarrassing, stigmatized, or kept private for a long time.
I especially enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves and open to growth, even if they feel nervous or unsure at first. You don’t need to be “creative” or insightful to start—just willing to show up. Together, we gently explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and look for more flexible, compassionate ways of relating to yourself and the people you care about. Therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time; there can be space for curiosity, reflection, and even moments of lightness along the way.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, offered with warmth and humanity. While we honor your past, our work focuses on what’s happening now—and on helping you feel more present, more grounded, and more aligned with your values. I strive to help clients move through life with greater awareness, emotional balance, and self-trust, while reducing the anxiety, sadness, or self-criticism that may be getting in the way.
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional difficulties, and mindfulness-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills. In simple terms, this means we work together to notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—and gently shift what’s no longer serving you. These approaches are practical, supportive, and designed to help you feel better, not just understand why you feel the way you do.
At its heart, therapy with me is about building a genuine, supportive relationship—one that helps you feel more like yourself, more connected to others, and more confident in how you move through your life.

Alana Morazzini
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Healing happens when you feel truly safe — and creating that kind of space is something I take seriously, for both individuals and couples. I show up as an active and engaged partner, asking thoughtful questions, offering honest reflections, and keeping us anchored to what matters most to you. Together we'll gently uncover the patterns that may have once served you but are now getting in the way of the connections and life you want. My clients often leave sessions feeling not just heard, but with a greater sense of clarity and direction. With a background in Fine Arts, I bring creativity, imagination, and the occasional moment of levity as welcome parts of the healing process.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
I help clients build a deeper relationship with themselves by exploring the different “parts” within, grounded in a depth-oriented and trauma-informed approach. Together, we look beneath the surface to understand the patterns and experiences shaping anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Through curiosity, compassion, and insight, therapy becomes a space for meaningful healing—supporting greater clarity, self-trust, and more authentic ways of relating to yourself and others.

13 Years Experience
Online in San Jose, CA
San Jose sits at the heart of Silicon Valley, where the pressures of the tech industry — performance anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the psychological cost of relentless innovation culture — drive significant demand for therapists experienced in high-achievement environments. The city's large South Asian and East Asian communities mean culturally competent therapists who understand the intersection of immigrant identity, family expectations, and mental health are particularly sought after. Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing independent therapy community. Many South Bay therapists offer evening and weekend hours to accommodate the demanding work schedules common in the tech sector.
