Improving Therapy for everyone.
SF Therapy Group was started in order to solve several problems.
- Therapy, while great, could be more accessible and more affordable.
- The field of therapy, like all scientific endeavors, needs to continue to improve.
- Therapists need a professional community to grow and develop.
Our mission at SF Therapy Group
Making better therapy more accessible.
We are big therapy fans. We go to therapy. We practice therapy. We research therapy. So, we are well aware that finding a therapist is a major pain. It’s hard to know who’s good, people are often full, and then they’re expensive.
We’re solving all of that. SF Therapy Group’s staff are all excellent therapists who receive premier training, and we specialize in making sure people find the right match with their needs and style.
Our research and practice is based on the critical question at the heart of therapy – how and why does therapy work, and how can it be adapted to specific people? We offer therapy at a range of fees to make it more accessible to more people.
Making Therapy Better.
We know therapy works, but why it works and for whom it works best are unanswered questions. Despite much of the training for therapists focusing on specific models and certifications, the best research says those things do not matter. If anything, rigid adherence to a particular approach is associated with worse outcomes. What seems to matter most is personalizing psychotherapy and tailoring your treatment to what each specific patient needs. We use clinical tools and principles to do this in a rigorous and systematic way.
Our work is grounded in the research of the San Francisco Psychotherapy Research Group, which has produced over 100 peer-reviewed articles over the past 40 years. These have concluded and demonstrated that a flexible, case-specific approach based on the particular person is more effective than focusing on diagnosis or technique. In other words, who you are and what you need is the most important variable the therapist can focus on in developing your treatment plan.
Scientists and Clinicians
We are deeply committed to improving the field of psychotherapy as a whole, in addition to successful treatments for our clients. In some ways, we operate like a teaching hospital – we collaborate regularly on all our cases, we collect data on progress and outcome, and contribute to research about the field.

Making Therapy Better for Therapists.
SF Therapy Group is focused on making therapy a better career for therapists. We believe private practice is the best way to offer therapy for most people. It offers the most flexibility, responsiveness, and security for both therapists and patients.
There are no insurance middlemen getting involved, and therapy can be adapted to meet people where they are. But it can be isolating, which can stagnate a therapist’s growth. It also makes it harder to collaborate with others on cases.
SF Therapy Group focuses on community as a core aspect of healthy practice which results in better clinical outcomes as well as a better experience for therapists.
