This page lists Female Anxiety Psychologists in San Francisco. 6 in all.
That is 6 of the 12 psychologists listed in San Francisco.
These are practitioners who identify as female on their profile 1. We ask every therapist that question, and they may decline to answer. We do not check the answer, and nothing here is ranked.
This list answers an explicit request for a woman. While many people prefer this, we found no research on whether it changes how the therapy goes.
A client and a practitioner always differ; what matters is what that means to you and how you work with it 2. You can filter the same list by the languages a practitioner works in.
How anxiety is treated
Anxiety treatment is for fear and worry that persist and get in the way. It is not for ordinary nerves.
The treatments with the most evidence are based on cognitive behavioural principles 3. That includes exposure therapy, where you face what you have been avoiding, a step at a time.
A prescriber may also consider medicine, depending on age and severity 4.
What a psychologist does, and where assessment fits in
Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title psychologist. Psychologists apply the study of the mind and behaviour to assist people through difficulty. Clinical psychologists work with people of all ages, with families, carers, teams and communities.
Assessment belongs to a psychologist's training, and sits alongside therapy. Clinical, counselling and educational psychology are different training routes. Each route emphasises different work.
Which titles are registered varies by country. Where the title is registered, the register says what it covers. Ask a psychologist which route they trained through, and what they work with most.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the practitioner's stated Female identity, the specialism recorded as Anxiety and the professional title psychologist.
Paying for therapy in San Francisco
Do affordable options exist in San Francisco?
Mission Mental Health Services (SFDPH Behavioral Health Services). Phone +1 628 754 8800. The current 2026 Behavioral Health Services handbook says most Medi-Cal members pay nothing. Members above the income limits may owe a monthly share of the cost, and some treatment can require a copayment. The service is accepting new beneficiaries through Behavioral Health Access. It gives priority to certain populations, and you must meet the Medi-Cal eligibility and service area criteria.
