Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
We live in a society and culture(s) that often silence, objectify, and oppress women. If we speak up for ourselves, we can be labeled negatively so to survive, we may have learned to dim our own light. We are often taught to be selfless, to nurture, and to constantly give. When we take the much needed moment for ourselves, we can be labeled as selfish. It can feel like whatever we do, it is never enough. If you want to work with someone to support you as you reclaim your power and express your voice in a safe and supportive therapeutic space, you may enjoy working with me. 'When women support each other, incredible things happen.'

Corina Bair

One of my favorite aspects to work with clients on is women's empowerment. I have years of experience working with young and middle-aged women in exploring who they are, who they want to be, and how to be the best versions of themselves. Whether you are struggling with concerns in social, personal, work, or every day life stressors, we can tailor our therapy sessions to meet your specific needs. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors 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. ~~~

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
I work with high functioning professional women who perform in multiple roles at work and at home, face corporate misogyny or age bias towards women, shoulder a large part of the parenting, relationship, household, social and financial responsibilities and feel pressure to hold everything together. Women are often pushed to meet impossible expectations, and are looked down upon for showing signs of strain. Therapy can support you in establishing boundaries, taking criticism less personally, and maintaining your own calmness, self-care and sense of self-worth, regardless of the pressure you're under. I combine insightful, caring depth work with effective evidence based techniques that build resilience under pressure, free you from self-sabotaging reactivity, and help you to keep access to your calm, best-self.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW
Women's issues can look different for every client, whether it's navigating identity, relationships, self-worth, life transitions, or the unique pressures that come with being a woman in today's world. I understand the complexities of being a woman and all the roles we're asked to balance, whether that's caring for others, building a career, maintaining relationships, or simply figuring out who you are outside of what everyone else needs from you. I provide a supportive space to explore these experiences honestly, so you can better understand yourself and move forward feeling empowered and more at peace with who you are.

Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
There is no way to ignore and live untouched by the system of male supremacy, despite the progress we've made over the past decades. I help women begin to understand how the many problems and challenges they've faced, believing them to be personal and psychological, have been fundamentally political ramifications of the male supremacist system we all endure. As a feminist prosocial psychologist, I support women raise their consciousness of the effects of the broader system and help them develop the strength and confidence they need to pursue the life they've wanted.

Dr. Cristal Lopez
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Welcome! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families.
For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together.
Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I specialize and publish work in: coping with chronic illnesses, career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families. I’m committed to guiding you, your child, or family to a more connected and fulfilling life. Invest in yourself!

Miriam Adrianowicz
Psychologist, PsyD
Women and men have different biological make-ups. So, it would make sense that they have different psychological tendencies as well. They also go through different bodily changes throughout their lives, and are treated differently in society. By elucidating the ways in which women differ from men biologically and psychologically, we can start to understand and address issues unique to women.

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.
