Individual Psychotherapy

At Authentic Alliance, individual psychotherapy is more than a treatment—it’s a partnership. Our therapists provide a compassionate, affirming space where you can explore your story, work through challenges, and build the skills and resilience you need to thrive.

Inclusive, affirming care

We honor the diverse identities and experiences of every client we serve. Our therapy is trauma-informed, anti-racist, and affirming of LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and BIPOC individuals. We welcome children (9+), teens, adults, and elders—meeting you exactly where you are.

What to expect in therapy

Your healing journey begins with a free 15-minute consultation. This first step allows us to get to know you, understand your needs, and match you with the therapist who is the best fit. From there, we’ll create a personalized plan that supports your growth and goals.

Sessions are offered both in-person (Oakland and San Francisco offices) and online for residents of California.
