Couples & Relationships Therapy in San Francisco, California | Grounded Therapy



Online Couples & Relationships therapy · San Francisco, California

Couples therapy for the conversation you keep having.

Doctoral-level (PhD/PsyD) psychologists treating couples & relationships for people
in San Francisco and across the Bay Area — online, in-network, and usually with no waitlist. Between work downtown and life across the city, you can meet with your therapist from your apartment instead of crossing town for it.

Is this you?

The same fight in a different outfit. The distance that crept in. The sense that you're roommates negotiating logistics instead of partners. You don't have to be in crisis to come to couples therapy — most couples wait years longer than they should.

Couples & Relationships therapy, explained.

Most recurring conflict isn't about the dishes — it's about the pattern underneath it. Our psychologists use the couples approaches with real evidence behind them: Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method. The work is to name the cycle you're both stuck in, slow it down, and build a way of talking to each other that doesn't end where every argument currently ends.

For San Francisco

Couples & Relationships therapy in San Francisco.

San Francisco can be intensely lonely for how dense it is — tech burnout, a transient social scene, and rents that keep people boxed into small apartments.

The city's therapists book out fast and charge Bay-Area rates. Telehealth widens the pool to every California-licensed psychologist, not just whoever has an office off Market Street. Every one of our
psychologists is licensed in California and sees clients across San Francisco — the Mission, SoMa, the Sunset, the Richmond, and the neighborhoods packed between the hills —
by secure video. Where you are in San Francisco decides the view out your window during session, not whether
you can get couples & relationships care.

What couples & relationships therapy here looks like.

  • A clear map of the recurring cycle you're both caught in — and how to interrupt it
  • IBCT, EFT, and Gottman tools you practice together between sessions
  • A neutral, structured space where both partners actually feel heard

Common questions

Things people ask before booking.

Do you have a therapy office in San Francisco?No — Grounded Therapy is fully online. All of our psychologists are licensed in California and see clients throughout the state by secure video, including everyone in San Francisco and San Francisco. That's the advantage: no commute, no waiting room, and no being limited to whoever happens to have an office near you.
Is online couples therapy as effective as in person?For the conditions we treat, the research says yes — teletherapy shows outcomes comparable to in-person care, and many clients find it easier to stay consistent when there's no drive involved. The treatment itself is the same evidence-based work; only the room changes.
Do you take my insurance?Many of our providers are in-network with major plans, and we verify your exact benefits and copay for you before your first session, at no cost. See Insurance & Rates for which providers accept which plans.
How soon can I start?Often within a week. Several of our psychologists are actively accepting new San Francisco-area clients — book a free 15-minute consult and we'll match you with someone who fits.
