Sarah Jane Thomas
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If you have spent years at war with your reflection or dodging photos, you are not alone. We will work together to understand where those critical messages came from and slowly replace them with something kinder. Our goal is not to love every part of your appearance, but to feel at peace in your own skin so you can focus on living instead of constantly monitoring yourself.

Misty Johnson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW
We all hear a duality of messages: Criticize your body: Accept you body. We all walk this line yet it's normal to intellectually know something is not right but to embody acceptance of oneself is also possible with support.

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I'm an open-minded and accepting therapist with years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults - especially women - on feeling good about who we are and the bodies we live in. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (and how they interact to impact our confidence) is an essential part of my therapy practice, and I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~
I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds, bodies, and identities. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I offer support around body image from a compassionate, person-centered perspective that recognizes how our relationships with our bodies are shaped by culture, unique identities, lived experience, and survival. Rather than focusing on fixing or controlling the body, our work centers on building curiosity and a more respectful relationship with your physical self. Together, we might explore how body image connects to identity, worth, and belonging, and work toward greater sense of ease and trust in your body as it is.

Body image issues, including negative body image perception lead us to see our bodies as different from how they actually look. I will help you to determine the root causes of your body image issues and help heal them and help you to develop a healthier perception of your body.

Miriam Adrianowicz
Psychologist, PsyD
Body image is a deeply personal topic that many people struggle with. Problems with body image usually surface at a relatively young age and can stem from many sources. Together, we'll explore what it feels like to be in your body, and take steps to figure out why it is you feel the way you do while incorporating self-compassion practices. With deeper understanding comes an increased sense of control and agency.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you're reading this you're probably wanting to feel better about how you look. You might not like my approach then, because my approach is to help you feel better about how you feel.
Instead of taking a cognitive approach to adjust your thinking about self-image, we can take a somatic approach, working with the charge of discomfort that can come up around body stuff, and finding ways to lower the intensity of that charge.

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.
