Therapy for Depression & Anxiety in San Francisco
and Online

Treating symptoms with respect for their story.

It’s hard to enjoy life when nothing feels right.

Our lives will always include periods of stress and sadness, but sometimes those feelings take hold and overwhelm us – even if you think you “should” be happy or that you “know better” than to believe the anxious voice in your head. The truth is, no matter our circumstances, these difficult emotions can show up and impact our relationships, productivity, sleep, eating, and overall well-being. You don’t have to – nor should you – face these challenges alone. 

You feel off, and this is more than just a “tough time.”

  • You’re constantly looking at how things can go wrong, or imagining horrific scenarios in your mind.

  • You just want to relax and enjoy yourself, but your body and brain won’t calm down.

  • You’re irritable, low on patience, and not into the stuff that usually makes you happy.

  • You feel weighed down, unable to see the good in things and feeling like life is on pause. 

  • You have panic attacks – a sudden surge of overwhelming fear. Maybe you’ve even gone to the ER, thinking you’re having a heart attack. 

  • You’re intensely afraid of certain situations or objects, like flying, heights, spiders, or social situations.

BEYOND SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT

It’s time to get back to living with the skills you need, the insight you’ve wanted, and the self-compassion you deserve.

Depression and anxiety are frustrating and painful, but these struggles are more than just symptoms. Anxiety often stems from deeper fears, past experiences, or unmet needs, and depression can be a complex response to past hurts. You deserve treatment that addresses the whole picture.

At Juniper, we focus on understanding and respecting the reasons behind your symptoms, while giving you the tools you need for relief as we do the deeper work.
