Anxiety
Shohreh Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Anxiety can show up in many ways such as racing thoughts, constant worry, trouble sleeping, or a lingering sense that something is not right. Whether it is connected to a specific situation or feels like a constant presence in your life, anxiety can be overwhelming and exhausting.
Find relief from anxiety and fear. In a calm and supportive environment, I work with individuals to understand the roots of their anxiety, develop practical tools for managing difficult thoughts and emotions, and begin to feel more centered and in control.
With the right support, you can build confidence, strengthen inner peace, and take meaningful steps toward a calmer and more fulfilling life.As your therapist, I will offer you exercises/tools, somatic perspectives and grounding to help you regulate your nervous system.

Anxiety
Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anxiety is a normal feeling. Everyone experiences anxiety at some time in their life. We can feel anxious about different things such as our finances, our relationships, our career, our future, etc. For some, anxiety is temporary and resolves after addressing the stressor. For others, anxiety can be overwhelming and can cause a lot of suffering. If you are someone who experiences chronic anxiety, know you are not alone. While we cannot get rid of anxiety as anxiety is a helpful and adaptive emotion, we can learn to understand and cope with our symptoms.

Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Is your anxiety productive sometimes? Fears of what others think of you or worrying about letting others down can fuel working long hours, over-preparing, and perfectionist tendencies. However, anxiety can also lead to procrastination, a harsh inner critic, running the tape of past conversations on repeat, over-eating, or troubles sleeping. Sometimes the worries seem endless and the angst leads to physical discomfort, neck/shoulder tension, and stomach pains. Fortunately, research shows CBT can improve anxiety symptoms within 8-12 sessions.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I support individuals navigating anxiety in a way that honors how these experiences often develop as understandable responses to stress, uncertainty, or past experiences. Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety outright, our work focuses on listening to what your fears may be communicating, building self-compassion, and developing greater flexibility in how you relate to anxious thoughts and bodily sensations. Together, we work toward creating a sense of safety, agency, and trust in yourself.

Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people come to therapy, and I've helped many clients work with anxiety and fear over the years. Having someone you can talk to honestly, who can hold space for what you're going through and help you feel less alone, can be an important first step. From there, we can explore what's underneath the anxiety while also working more directly with the body and nervous system. I incorporate mindfulness, somatic approaches, and other tools that can help calm the nervous system and begin to shift old patterns in the brain and body, so anxiety doesn't have to run your life.

Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
If anxiety, fears, or phobia are standing in the way of your ability to enjoy and fully participate in your life, I'd love to hear from you. Hypnosis is uniquely suited for fears and anxiety because it allows us a path to changing the way our brain reacts to stress and triggers. Over time, clients find they are able to feel greater confidence, ease, and trust in themselves, while triggers that once seemed insurmountable start to feel like 'no big deal.'

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, anxiety can be a fight/flight response that hasn't fully settled. It can leave you with a feeling that something isn't quite right, and then your mind starts searching for reasons to feel that way. It's a vicious cycle.
We can work together to find ways to help your body 'complete' the unsettled fight/flight response so you can actually feel safer and more settled. Now your mind will be fresh and clear and better able to assess the situation and decide on a effective course of action.

Anxiety Eliminated
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Health Coach, MBA
i have a 95% success rate with healing anxiety. There are key dietary components which must be assessed and, in hypnosis, are very easy to fix. Once the body is stabilized, we go on to identify childhood challenges and traumas that are related to the anxiety. These issues are released by being pulled out by their roots by a specialized combination of releasing and hypnotherapy techniques.

San Francisco's extreme housing costs and the psychological toll of the tech industry — characterized by intense performance pressure, rapid layoff cycles, and boom-bust uncertainty — have made burnout, anxiety, and economic grief among the most common presenting concerns. The city has a historically significant LGBTQ+ community, and affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, queer relationships, and HIV-related concerns remain an important part of the local therapy landscape. UCSF Health provides world-class institutional mental health resources, while the city's dense network of independent practitioners reflects a culture that has long embraced therapy as a normal and valued part of life. Telehealth has expanded access significantly for Bay Area residents commuting from Oakland, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
