San Francisco, California therapist: Josie Valderrama, psychologist
Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Josie Valderrama

Psychologist, PsyD
My approach is eclectic, inclusive and multi-modal--reflecting the complexity and paradox within each of us. I specialize at the intersection of gender, sexual and relational diversity + ethnic diversity + neurodiversity. Respectful of clients' spiritual grounding and cultural identity. Geared towards achieving greater balance, peace of mind and effectiveness in life. As a creative writer, I am seasoned in working with fellow creatives to support their generativity and self-acceptance. Often, my work is with alt high achievers addressing everyday anxieties as well as broader existential issues. Prior sojourns in Dotcom era tech, journalism and the entertainment industry inform my real-world perspective. Well-traveled, bohemian, intellectual and transpersonal within the therapeutic milieu, I collaborate with clients in both practical and transcendent processes.

San Diego, California therapist: Sean Sprigle, licensed professional counselor
Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Sean Sprigle

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Before I was a therapist I was a client just like yourself. I struggled with many issues over the years and overcome most of them since becoming a therapist. Because of this I find that I usually have personal experience with at least an aspect of what my client is dealing with. My clients generally find me to be compassionate, knowledgeable, non-judge mental, and easy to connect with.
