Our Therapy and Wellness Services:

Through a detailed assessment process (1-3 sessions), we learn how specific thought patterns and behaviors may be getting in the way for you.

We work collaboratively to establish treatment goals and introduce strategies for coping that are aimed at increasing quality of life.

Movement towards goals is supported by practicing skills both during and in between therapy sessions.

mindfulSF is dedicated to providing online video counseling and mindfulness coaching during the pandemic and beyond.

We utilize the highest quality user-friendly HIPAA compliant software for online sessions.

Common Questions About Online Therapy:

• Is online therapy as effective as in person?

Yes! Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy. It is possible to receive the same benefits that you would from meeting a therapist in person. A 2018 study published in the Journal of Psychological Disorders found that online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) was equally as effective as face-to-face treatment for panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depression.
