Focusing on the roots of emotional, relationship, and behavioral patterns, Golden Gate Counseling Services provides psychotherapy for trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, perinatal mental health, and substance use disorders (SUD). Their therapists also work with neurodivergent clients and couples, while therapists provide gender-affirming letters for a separate clinical need. Clients can meet at the Union Street office in San Francisco or attend virtual sessions across California.

Therapy Shaped by Patterns

Therapists adjust their methods to the needs and patterns they identify in treatment. Trauma work can include psychodynamic therapy, somatic body-based approaches, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, while couples therapists use EFT and the Gottman Method to address attachment, communication, and conflict. Substance use therapy examines patterns around alcohol or drug use and helps clients decide whether their goals involve moderation or sobriety.

From Matching to Ongoing Therapy

Clients begin with a free consultation that explores their reasons for seeking therapy and helps them find a therapist based on clinical focus, schedule, and fit. Most clients then meet once a week, either in person or virtually. Group options add another route for care, including Bump and Beyond for expecting mothers and Making Space for Grief for clients experiencing infertility, pregnancy loss, or birth loss.
