About us:

At the San Francisco Stress and Anxiety Center (SF Stress), we make it easy for consumers to access high-quality mental health care. We have a commitment to social justice and inclusion. We aim to create a dynamic team of clinicians that represents the diverse clientele we serve in regard to race, ethnicity, and gender. Our clientele consists of both private pay individuals and companies that provide therapy and EAP programs to their employees.

At SF Stress, we provide supportive and *flexible* options for mental health care professionals. With offices throughout the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Sacramento, we are growing our vision of personalized, evidence-based therapy. SF Stress provides a private practice feel without the administrative hassles such as billing and marketing. We handle the administrative functions so that clinicians providing services to SF Stress can spend most of their time doing what they do best, delivering meaningful therapy. Ongoing opportunities to collaborate with a team of highly diverse and trained clinicians also eliminates the isolation that can sometimes come with working in private practice.

We work hard to make SF Stress a great place to grow your practice.In addition, we offer training and development opportunities to licensed clinicians. In the near future, we will also be offering continuing education credits for licensure renewals or to expand your existing knowledge base. Currently, the majority of our clinicians are providing teletherapy remotely during the pandemic. Although we plan to return to offering in-person therapy sessions at our multiple locations as the situation permits, we will continue to offer tele-mental health based on the needs of the client and our clinicians.
