High Quality, Affordable Therapy
The process of learning about oneself and working through one’s challenges can be scary, exhilarating and profoundly rewarding. We have committed ourselves to this process and to helping you live a deeper, freer and more creative life.
The relationship with a therapist is unique. It is like having a partner or guide who is there helping to make sense of things. It is different from a friend relationship since it is all about helping, and is focused in one direction.
The San Francisco Counseling Center provides counseling and psychotherapy services to children, adolescents, adults, and couples of all sexual orientations. Conveniently located, we have evening and weekend hours available.
Welcome to the San Francisco Counseling Center at the Healing Arts Building. We provide counseling and psychotherapy services for people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations; and offer affordable psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families and groups.
