REED A. MALCOLM

, Psychotherapy, LMFT, MA

Welcome. I offer psychotherapy for individual adults and for couples. I work both in-person (San Francisco, Oakland) as well as on-line (state-wide CA), treating such issues as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, family dynamics, grief, life transition, phobias and addictions. I hope this website will be useful in helping you find the right therapist.

There are moments in life when we need help navigating through the unavoidable challenges that come with the human condition. The experience and guidance of a trusted ‘other’ becomes critical in the development of clarity, stability, and peace of mind.

I take a relational and collaborative approach to psychotherapy. Each individual is unique, consciously and unconsciously influenced by past relationships and life-events that can have a lasting impact on how we address the present. Difficulties can sometimes arise when the habitual thoughts, emotions, or behaviors that once served us well no longer work, leaving us feeling stuck, depressed, and powerless. Fear, ambivalence, compulsivity and patterned thinking can hamper our ability to address the inevitable twists and turns of daily life. Through a process of in-depth inquiry, analysis, and interpretive reflection, we can embark on a path of psychological healing and growth.

Please feel free to contact me for a preliminary consultation to discuss your needs and my approach.
