More Information

  • Occupational therapists are experts in finding the right fit by adapting tasks and environments for each individual because one size fits no one. We differ from other therapists in that we treat both physical and emotional health. We emphasize the things that bring you joy and meaning, analyze how you complete your daily tasks to find more effective and efficient ways to do them, and improve your well-being and quality of life. There is no medical diagnosis needed to receive services, but many of our clients have diagnoses of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, autism, ADHD, and sensory processing disorder. Many of our clients are also working with psychiatrists and other mental health therapists on their long-term care needs while working with us to address specific, focused goals.

  • We do not accept insurance at this time and are unable to work with clients who are beneficiaries of Medicare or Medi-Cal. However, you can pay for services with HSA and FSA funds. A superbill for paid services will be provided at your request. We are also able to assist you with referrals to providers that do accept your insurance if you are unable to work with us.

    A superbill is a detailed receipt of the services you receive. Clients who submit superbills to their insurance companies can potentially get reimbursed for services. It’s best to check with your insurance company first to understand their reimbursement guidelines and requirements.

  • Individual services are currently provided virtually within California using a secure, HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. In-person sessions can be arranged in San Francisco.

  • Your health and well-being are our priority, and we will do whatever we can to help you create meaning and find peace of mind in the most important areas of your life.

  • We strive to be truly inclusive, antiracist, and anti-oppressive - a process that is lifelong. We are affirming of QTBIPOC, LGBTQIA+, veteran, neurodiverse, and disability communities. With pride, we share some of these identities, work with and love people from each of these communities.

    Our core values include:

    Equity - Appropriate health care is a right, not a luxury.

    Responsibility - We have a responsibility to break down the barriers to care, including availability, affordability, and access. If we cannot provide the best care for you, it is our responsibility to help you find the right care.

    Compassion - We will act with compassion in providing care, focusing on actions that support healing.
