What we do

Therapy that asks why, not just how.

Most SF group practices are built on short-term, symptom-focused care. Bay Door is different. The clinic is organized around depth work — existential, psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, relational, and Jungian — with structured and identity-affirming options held by clinicians who also think deeply.

That means care that gets to the underlying question, not just the presenting one. And for clients who want structure or tools alongside, we hold CBT, ACT, EMDR, and IFS too — practiced by clinicians who also think deeply.

  • Existential
  • Psychoanalytic
  • Psychodynamic
  • Relational
  • Jungian
  • Lacanian
  • Laingian

In their words

What clients tell us about the work.

I've been in therapy before, but this was the first time I felt someone was interested in what was actually going on — not just checking boxes.
Individual client, San Francisco
The intake felt human. I wasn't shuffled through a system. They took the time to match me with someone I could actually work with.
Individual client, Pacific Heights
Our couples work went somewhere the last therapist couldn't reach. Slower at first, then suddenly things we'd been circling for years opened up.
