    Counseling and Therapy Services

    Once your healthcare provider makes a diagnosis, he or she will talk with you about a treatment plan. We offer many different options.

    Individual, Family and Group Counseling

    We provide one-on-one therapy with psychiatrists, psychologists and residents, who are doctors receiving specialty training in psychiatry and psychology. Many people meet once a week with their therapist. Dependent on your needs, therapy might continue for just a few weeks or for several months.

    Our services are provided at two locations:

    2323 Sacramento Street, San Francisco
    Residents in training provide individual counseling, group therapy, psychological testing and medication evaluation.
    (415) 600-3247

    2340 Clay Street, San Francisco
    Psychiatrists provide individual therapy, psychological evaluation and medication management.
    (415) 600-5959

    In therapy, your healthcare provider might suggest some specific types of therapy:

    • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) — CBT focuses on how a person’s thoughts and beliefs influence their behavior and moods, and helps change their thinking to more healthy patterns.
    • Mindfulness therapy — This type of therapy combines cognitive therapy with the principles of mindfulness (training the brain to deal with negative thoughts by accepting them, but not trying to change them or react to them).
    • Psychodynamic psychotherapy — This is a depth therapy similar to psychoanalysis; it focuses on unconscious thought processes and how they affect behavior. The goals are to raise a person’s self-awareness and understanding about how the past influence’s the person’s behavior today.

    Alcohol Epidemiology Research

    Sutter Health Alcohol Epidemiology Research
    Alcohol affects us in many ways – both helpful and harmful. Just a glass a day can help prevent type 2 diabetes, heart disease and gallstones. Much more can cause cancer, liver and kidney disease, and brain damage. Research is key to understanding alcohol’s affect on our bodies, families and society.
