Boutique Practice Specializing in Anxiety for Women and Their Families in San Francisco and Marin County.

A Thought Partner is someone who: collaborates with you to support and provoke divergent thinking and action.

Are you someone who often sacrifices your own needs and wants to prioritize your friends or your families’ needs?

Do you find you sometimes struggle with perfectionism or people-pleasing?

Perhaps your life looks amazing, “on paper”, however you feel miserable, not good enough, or simply not enjoying the life you created?

Are you worried about your child, your spouse or even your neighbor?


We are Laura, Shelly, and Alyssa, three licensed clinical psychologists in San Francisco and Marin County who specialize in anxiety therapy for women and their families. Our practice is intentionally small. We know our clients, we invest in the relationship, and we stay current with the research on what actually works.

At Thought Partners, we use proven, evidence-based therapies grounded in a warm, relational approach. That means the tools we offer are backed by science, and the way we offer them is deeply human. Healing doesn't happen through technique alone; it happens through connection.

We often become a one-stop shop for the whole family. You might come to us initially for your own anxiety or burnout, and over time we become the practice your teenager trusts, your partner connects with, and your family turns to. Each person works with one of us individually, so everyone gets dedicated, focused care while staying within a practice that already understands your family's world.

Our clients describe us as warm, direct, and genuinely invested. We believe you already have the capacity for growth, and we are here to help you access it.

Why choose a boutique practice? Because you won't be passed around or lost in a large group. You'll work with one of us, and we'll take the time to truly know you.
