Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My practice is especially supportive for people navigating transitions, burnout, identity shifts, or the quiet sense that something in life needs to change. I bring steadiness, creativity, and a deep respect for your lived experience, offering a space where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together. You get to arrive as you are, and we move at a pace that feels safe, honest, and sustainable. If you’re longing for clarity, connection, or a more spacious relationship with yourself, I’m here to walk with you as you find your way forward.

Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
My goal is to provide positive therapy for change, helping people move from merely surviving to thriving. I have worked in private practice since 1999 and during that time I have developed methods that have proven helpful for a number of challenges people seek treatment for. In addition, I have spent many hours getting extra training and skills to enhance my ability to help people who may be struggling.

San Francisco Counseling Collective
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMFT, LCSW
People come to us because they're navigating difficulties with life changes, depression, anxiety—any of a million ways that distress manifests itself in our lives. Our specialty is seeing you for the unique person that you are, and meeting you where you are in your struggle. We work with our clients to help discover what issues are causing difficulty or suffering and then to identify the strengths that people have inside of them to help address those challenges.
I see my work as walking a path with you. It’s not my job to tell you which path to take or point you to a different path. My job is to walk alongside of you and point out some of the things you're not noticing. I accompany you down your path instead of telling you where to go.
It's really common for people to think nobody sees them—nobody gets them—and that's my work. To set a safe place for you to be fully you, and to have somebody who sees you. Sees your doubts, your fears, all the things that you feel are flaws, and accepts you for all of that. I truly believe that at our core we're all trying to grow toward our truest self, and my job isn't to tell you what that true self is. It's really to just provide you a space to grow into that, and get out of your way, and support you and help you do it.

Amrit Schneider
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When I was a young adult in my 20s' and navigating therapy for the first time, I wished that there were more therapists with whom I could identify and relate. Now, as a therapist myself, I feel grateful to be in that position for others. I identify as a South Asian/Indian-American woman, an immigrant, 1.5 generation, and a person of color. I am interested in providing services to adults and couples who may be confronting their own identities, individually, in their relationships, in their families, and in the world at large.
I have been in the field of social work for 20 years and have focused on private practice for the past 8 years. My style is respectful, compassionate, and direct. I have extensive experience with goal-oriented approaches, as well as a deep understanding for how social and cultural contexts impact our lives. In addition, my work is influenced by psychoanalytic theory and attachment theory, and is informed by an awareness of trauma, including complex and inter-generational trauma.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Alana Morazzini
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many people were never given the space to understand what they truly feel — taught early on to push past vulnerability and keep moving, often losing touch with their deeper needs, wants, and inner conflicts along the way. I work with individuals and couples alike, with a particular focus on those navigating conflict and communication struggles in their relationships, as well as those facing major life transitions — including postpartum mood challenges and midlife adjustments. Drawing on attachment-centered and trauma-informed approaches, we work on the foundations beneath your current struggles — ultimately opening up new ways of reacting, understanding, and relating to yourself and your past. Therapy offers choices, and while familiar patterns may feel safe, the goal is to give you the freedom to choose differently.

Dr. Fernando Castrillon
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My way of helping people involves listening for and helping them articulate intimate aspects of themselves that they have not spoken and that they do not even know exist. It is both a process of discovery and invention, with an eye and ear towards real and lasting structural change.
