Cute shop with a lot of fun knick knacks. They have cards, books, keychains, journals, ornaments, tote bags, stuffed animals, jewelry, jewelry dishes, clothing, etc. It's located in the heart of downtown San Carlos with a bunch of restaurants, stores, coffee shops, and more nearby. Can easily spend 30 mins to 1 hour exploring every corner of the store. The cashier was extremely friendly! read more

I always have the best time shopping here! The employees are so kind and I always find the most unique gifts -- it's like my go-to place to find presents for friends, family or my partner. I truly don't have to shop elsewhere because the intention and thoughtfulness in the products selected are so curated for everyone. And ... they have JELLYCAT! read more

Therapy Stores - Cute large ring that I purchased with a real stone - Women's Clothing Near Me - San Carlos, California

Absolutely loved this store. I don't think I had been in any of this chain's venues before but I'm very glad it's in San Carlos. We had so much fun browsing among a lot of things we definitely don't need but couldn't pass up. Left with an assortment of items and will be back! read more

They have many unique items for gift giving. I don't have eighty five words for this review! read more

I generally love Therapy stores and appreciate the variety and vibe they create. However, I wanted to share something that has made me uncomfortable more than once at the San Carlos location. While browsing the clothing section, I was approached (on two separate visits) with sales associates saying, "Let me know if we don't have your size." I know the intention was likely innocent, but as someone with a bigger body, the phrasing landed as presumptive and a bit rude, especially because there were definitely items in the store I would've fit. I have personal history and sensitivities around this subject, so I would've preferred to initiate if I needed help with sizing. A simple, general "Let me know if you need anything" would feel more welcoming and inclusive. It's 2025 stores should ideally offer broader size ranges and make sure their customer service reflects inclusivity. I share this feedback in hopes it helps Therapy continue to be a place where everyone feels comfortable shopping. read more

Kate was wonderful in helping me find party essentials and trinkets for my daughter's graduation. Better than any party store! She knew just what my daughter would like and took the time with me. I so appreciate her! I spent a fortune--but so worth it to see my daughter's joy as everything is being set up. Thank you, Kate. read more

I bought a pair of sushi socks and a soy fish sock for my friend's birthday as a gag gift! Very clean store, well lit, fun stuff, what more can you ask for? They have baguette socks, eclair socks, fun plush toys for kids and adults. Shop here, it's definitely making San Carlos a better downtown to go shopping. And yes, they have greeting cards too! read more

We took a Friday night stroll on Laurel Street the other week and dropped into Therapy for a little browse. The store was adorable, with an appealing window display full of colorful kid things and home goods. I always enjoy walking into places like this, especially when I'm away from home, as I was in San Carlos. Therapy was just as cute on the inside, with an eclectic selection of lovely, non-essential things. I enjoyed looking at the kid stuff, which included Jellycats and other high quality stuffies and toys and clothes, as well as the various books and housewares and accessories. There was also a small section in the back for women's clothing. We ended up buying a "Hello from NorCal" greeting card for our boys with an illustrated map on the front. I'd definitely come back to Therapy if I lived in San Carlos, for all manner of cards and gifts and whimsical treats. read more

I absolutely love the Campbell location of this store, which I'm a regular at, so when I found they had one in San Carlos, I just had to check it out. It's about the same size (or perhaps a slightly larger space) compared to Campbell, but the clothes section in San Carlos is smaller, leaving a lot more room for quirky gift items and books to browse and purchase! We met the owner (of all the locations), who rang up our orders. She's really sweet, and informed us that this location is brand new and has only been open for about 8 weeks.  They have a lot of cool stuff here. I especially love their self-therapy products. After having some laughs with my friend as we explored the various items, we walked away with a few cool novelty gifts and books.   Free street parking was not too difficult to find a block away. Downtown San Carlos also has a parking lot with an easy-to-miss entrance on Cherry Street, which is right around the corner. read more

Therapy stores always have a great selection of odds, ends, books, gifts, cards, etc. You can definitely find something for everyone here. I bought a cookbook, coaster set, a dice game, a blanket, a convertible backpack, a plant guide, and a beanie - all for different people. The store is very clean, friendly staff, plenty of space, and lots of selection. Plus the reusable orange bags are a plus New in SC so check it out! read more

Therapy Stores - Exterior - Women's Clothing Near Me - San Carlos, California

A store full of random stuff... in the most glorious way. It's a real treat to just wander and enjoy all the cute and different items. There's always something that catches my eye. Do you need it? Probably not, but sometimes you just have to spoil yourself. :) A good spot to pick up a unique gift, too. read more

What a cute store!! LOOOOOVE. Stumbled in here by accident, usually I ignore the stores because they're all so familiar but I had to stop walking and drag my friend in because the brightness and fun-ness of the interior caught my eye....and once in, I wanted to look at and purchase everythingggg my eyes were glittering with $$$ signs. I collect lots of trinkets but a big one for me is funny magnets. I've been having a harder time finding them in person lately, but Therapy had an entire display of them and these high school girls were looking at me like I was insane (and my friend pretended not to know me) because I was cracking tf up reading them. Some tame, some NSFW, some literally spoke to me as if they were made specifically for ME, Megan. Ended up getting three though I wanted to get 10. The store also had really cute household goods and fun girly stuff, the jewelry was adorable as well, some clothing in the back. What a fabulous addition to Laurel Street! I've never been to any of their other stores so some may already be familiar with the brand, but I am totally going to stop in here for adorable unique Christmas gifts! Therapy for all!! read more

Therapy Stores - I love this llama family - Women's Clothing Near Me - San Carlos, California

Fun store with unique items, nice clothing and unique but affordable jewelry. Glad to not have to drive to Burlingame or Mountain View any more to do here. Opening times vary by day, and this is the second time I've stopped by but the store was not open at the posted time. read more

Something for everyone! Super fun gifts for all ages. Great store with LOTS of unique items for the upcoming holiday. I took my niece there who was home from college and she did all of her holiday shopping for her roommates and her parents. Everyone who works in the store is very nice as well! read more

I've been meaning to leave this review for weeks- but I passed by therapy in burlingame and remembered my wonderful experience in therapy SC. I randomly decided to pop in and was immediately met with warm friendly energy from the manager whose name is Danielle if i'm remembering correctly. Not only did she give me the whole run down of the store, their other locations, and it's origins, but she also conversed with me in a genuine way. We talked about our bay area roots, and for the first time in a while I experienced the small town feel I remember from when I was little. The bay area has changed A LOT, which makes authentic interactions here feel that much more meaningful. This store is a gem and the people they employ fall into that category as well. I can't wait to go back to say hi and also shop for my new niece If you need a gift, a treat for yourself, a quirky find, or lovely conversation, absolutely stop in to therapy San Carlos! read more

I went to stop in on Laurel Street with a couple friends and absolutely adored the atmosphere of the store. I didn't even know there was a location in San Carlos, as I live in the city and have only been to one location downtown. It's hard to find retail places nowadays that have wonderful customer service who are there for you start to finish! Both workers constantly checked in with me and made sure that I was comfortably browsing and was finding everything alright. They were frequently going around the store to steam clothing for customers and make sure everything was in pristine condition to browse. It's hard to leave without spending more than I want to!! The most precious young man had great hair and we had quite a laugh about it when I asked him about what product he uses. He encouraged me to write this review on Yelp as I had lots of positive things say about this store along with the Bernal Heights location where I reside. This shop has been my go-to for a while to find new items for family's birthdays. It's great to see a variety of people working there and wanted to share this experience that deeply resonated with me. Keep on what you guys are doing. I will be sure to stop by again! read more

They have the cutest gifts and a really nice clothing section in the back, and the staff were so nice and helpful!

Wonderful selection of gifts and unique items. Such a joyful place to shop. I will absolutely be back to shop again soon for the holidays.

This store is the best combination of weird, fun, and fabulous. You can find a gift for ANYONE here--from books, socks, snarky magnets, beautiful jewelry, clothing, toys, cards, bags--the list goes on. The staff is incredibly helpful, especially Jing (Hi Eva!) and we also learned that 10% of sales are going to Second Harvest today. So good people selling delightful goods and donating to a good cause. Can't beat that. I plan on being a regular customer. read more

Stumbled upon this cute store while we waited for dinner reservations. Amazing inventory! Includes something for all age groups! Had a great conversation with the owner.

I am so amazed by the unique selection of the products at the San Carlos location. They are very unique and not the stuff you find in general department stores. Marcus is very helpful and he always wears a smile on his face, making it a very enjoyable experience shopping in the store. Highly recommend this place for unique shopping experience. read more

Therapy was one of the first stores I happened upon after relocating from Chicago to San Francisco. We could walk to the original location on Valencia from our house in Bernal. It was my happy place. After we moved to Dallas, Therapy continued to be my go to place for gifts and clothing whenever we came back to visit. Fast forward 5 years, and we've moved back to the Bay just as Therapy was opening a new location in San Carlos! My daughter and I went in recently, and it instantly felt like home again. Marcus, was incredibly kind and helpful. It's one thing to appreciate what a store has to offer, it's another to feel appreciated when you shop there. Thank you for hiring the best of the best. Shout out to Marcus and Miriam, and everyone else who have made this store a success! read more
