San Francisco, California therapist: Ryan Carroll, therapist
Psychodynamic Therapy

Ryan Carroll

Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to practice as a therapist; there is nothing I would rather do. I received my training in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and now practice depth psychotherapy with the Center for Mindful Psychotherapy in San Francisco. Before becoming a therapist, I gained valuable experience working in government and business, both internationally and cross-culturally. These experiences have enriched my understanding of diverse perspectives and complex human dynamics, deepening my capacities as a therapist. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, focusing on uncovering the core issues affecting individuals and couples. I hold a deeply rooted belief in the transformative power of psychotherapy to foster healing and growth.

Psychologist, PhD
My life mission is to create Inner Peace, one person at a time, one couple at a time. Are you anxious or depressed? Struggling with emotional or physical infidelity? Feeling lonely, overwhelmed or undervalued in your life and relationships? Are you struggling with racial or cross-cultural issues? I've worked with all of these issues and experienced many of them myself, as a mixed-race person: African-American/Irish-Apache. There are ways to make peace with yourself while walking through our world of challenges.

I often work with adult survivors of complex developmental trauma, such as those who grew up experiencing emotional abuse, neglect, or alcoholic family systems. I am also passionate about helping couples improve their communication and conflict resolution skills.

San Francisco, California therapist: Jessica Gioia, marriage and family therapist
Psychodynamic Therapy

Jessica Gioia

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA
Hey, I'm Jess. As a therapist, I love noticing what makes someone unique and reminding them of who they are when they need it. I’m also a puzzle solver- so bring on all your complex, interlocking symptoms! I’ve been trained in Gestalt therapy and love using weird exercises where you talk to yourself and name your inner critic; however my education included many ways of working, ranging from traditional to experimental, that I draw from regularly and use to personalize my approach to each client.

Dr. M at Insight Thoughts Psychotherapy Services (ITPS) Inc

Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPCC
You may be here because something “feels off”. Your thoughts run in circles. Your mood drops without warning. Old experiences still shape how you react, even when you want to move on. Therapy can help you make sense of all of that. I work with individuals who deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and stress tied to major life changes. The goal is not to label you. The goal is to understand what drives your thoughts, emotions, and actions so you can respond with more control and less pain. I use proven methods like CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy. These approaches help us spot patterns that keep you stuck and build skills you can use in real life. We look at what is happening now, what shaped it, and what needs to change. Your voice matters here. We decide together what you want help with and how we will work toward it. Therapy is not something done to you. It is something we do with purpose, guided by your needs. You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start.
