As a Clinical Psychologist, he cannot write prescriptions but really knows medicine ... western, eastern and holistic, and is happy to make recommendations to my doctors. He's very accessible and has always answered his phone when I've tried to call him. He knows the community well and is happy to make referrals if he thinks they can help you. In a country that is suffering from epidemics of anxiety and depression, we need more therapists like Dr. Davis. I respect and trust him completely.

Matt Foley is a skilled, gentle and wise therapist. He has a unique ability to join with his…read moreclients, to let them know that he is present with them in a very supportive and compassionate way. I find his style to be equal parts emotional and intellectual, which I appreciate. He has an impressive range of experience and training which he can tap into as he sees fit, but always in an organic way. He taught me some mindfulness skills which I still use to this day. I would highly recommend Matt to somebody who is struggling with a difficult situation or who is looking to live a more authentic life.

Combined with a sharp and intuitive mind, he is able to listen deeply with such compassion and no judgement. I am amazed at the level of insight into myself I find when he is present. He speaks from his heart with such authenticity that it opens up the hearts and minds of all those around him. I would give my highest recommendation to anyone who is considering seeing him as a therapist. His skills are far beyond the classroom and reflect that of an enlightened being.

In the therapy world it is rare to find a counselor who is able to hold space for feelings and at the same time still be masculine. He is wise, caring, and a rounded individual with a lot of life experience to draw from on top of his education and therapeutic skills. I first met Dan at a training for psychotherapy. I was struck by his honesty and ability to read people. As a fellow therapist I really appreciate meeting with him and feel really supported and enriched when he listens and offers reflections only process. I recommend him highly for anyone looking for a psychotherapist in San Francisco.

Within a few consultations, Dr. Freeman isolated the issues, and began treating them, and helped her become, well, pretty much anything she wanted. What's most important is that he got the diagnosis right on the first try and really understood the client and her needs. Dr. Freeman is brilliant, on the cutting edge in his industry, if not in a class by himself altogether. He comes with my highest recommendation.

Michael Freeman was recommended to me by a doctor friend in the area. For fifteen years I was a…read morepatient of the doctor's. Although his fees were always on the high side, he is generous with his prescriptions, should you have need of those. During my years with the doctor, we explored much of his personal life. Originally from Los Angeles, sometime after his children were born, Dr. Freeman and his first wife divorced. Tragically, his son was killed accidentally whilst away at college, on the East Coast. The good doctor needed time after the tragedy and after his son's funeral to recover from personal angst. Back to the salt mines, and treating his patients once again. If able, find a spot in your heart for the good doctor.

Karen Motan is exactly what everyone has said, compassionate and intuitive. Her understanding of…read morepeople and her active listening technique makes you realize she understands what you need. She has very practical experience in life and that always builds my confidence when it comes to a therapist. She's experienced and provides real feedback and shows genuine interest. I think there is nothing's better than feeling like you can speak to someone and they help you make changes in your life instead of talking to someone who you feel like you're just updating every week. In therapy, you want to make progress not a life long commitment to attending therapy and I believe she understands that and her motivation is in making people feel good and productive.

Karen is such an awesome therapist. She listens and provides actionable feedback to strengthen…read morecommunication. She's patient and thoughtful in her responses. All of our sessions were over Zoom (thanks to Covid), but nonetheless she made the environment feel safe, open, and connected, as if she were right there with you. Talking to her is like talking to an unbiased trusted friend. She makes all parties involved feel respected and heard. She doesn't take sides, but finds a way to make everyone feel like they have valid concerns and gives communication strategies to help navigate through tough conversations or hot buttons in a relationship. She's the first therapist I've ever worked with who has given actionable tools to use in everyday situations, instead of just listening and saying she'll see me next week. If you show up open and ready to work to see results, I have no doubt you'll be thrilled with your experience. I HIGHLY recommend her!

It's amazing how within minutes of talking to Dr Freed (or just Roger - he says they are the same person :). I have this sense that he knows exactly how I think and of the nature of my struggles. I instantly felt very safe, understood and comfortable. In my experience it's been pretty rare to have that kind of connection. Through a combination of medical/scientific explanation and anecdotally from experience he really succinctly describes how these "inefficiencies" arise and cause problems when approaching work tasks. As mentioned by the other reviewer he focuses on the behavioral tips and tricks to steer clear of ADD/ADHD pitfalls and find a sustainable productivity. He describes how to "make deals" with yourself to start difficult tasks. He definitely has an element of compassion and to allow and embrace the creativity and pull that comes with the ADHD experience - sometimes aspects that are treated negatively in a "get things done" attitude. Kind of: Take it as a gift and then also here are some ways to optimize for output. It's a fun balance to work toward. I'm looking forward to continuing my visits!

I've never met anyone with this deep an understanding of ADD/ADHD in both kids and adults…read more I've been through four psychiatrists, all excellent ones. Dr. Freed is the first I've met who truly specializes in ADD. To use his words, medication is only 10% of the solution. The rest is up to the systems and tricks and compensating habits that the patient needs to employ in order to achieve the highest possible level of executive function. I can't speak to whatever else he treats, but I can't imagine that there's anyone better for ADD.

I had seen a few other therapists over the years, but with Kelley I knew right away that she was the perfect fit for me.

I used to dread appointments with my previous therapists, but I actually look forward to my sessions with Kelley! I feel so lucky to have snagged her, and I always recommend her to all of my friends and colleagues. Kelley truly is a rare gem!

Michele is patient and deeply intelligent, and brings a warmth that is unusual and welcomed in this profession. I went to her for individual therapy, but I know several people who have gone to her for marriage counselling and been profoundly happy with her. Couples who are not married are equally as thrilled with Michele. Easy to talk to, completely tuned-in; she cares, she brings relief. You can count on her to transform pain to tranquility.
