For people seeking more than symptom-focused care, Free Association Clinic offers individual, couples, psychoanalytic, existential, and process group therapy in San Francisco and by telehealth across California. They work with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, identity questions, and recurring relationship concerns through open-ended, depth-oriented care. Care begins with a free 15-minute consultation to understand each client’s concerns and match them with a therapist whose approach fits their needs.

Explore Meaning and Patterns

Free Association Clinic practices an existential-psychoanalytic approach that explores memories, emotions, and relationships clients bring forward in sessions. Therapists also examine relational patterns that emerge within the therapeutic relationship and how those patterns may appear in other areas of life.

Address Conflict Through Connection

Couples therapy looks beneath repeated arguments while addressing affairs, separation, co-parenting, sex, desire, and non-monogamy. Process groups help members notice relationship patterns in real time. Spanish-language couples therapy is available, and associate clinicians receive licensed supervision.
