Dr Elizabeth Kassoff
Psychoanalyst
“I have over thirty years experience in working as a psychologist with a specialization in relational psychoanalysis and GLBT folks.”
About Me
I draw on over thirty years as a psychologist, specialising in relational psychoanalysis. I help GLBT individuals explore how early experiences and relationships shape their present lives. Together, we gently uncover patterns, understanding their roots and impact. This collaborative process allows for authentic connection and lasting personal insight, providing a steady space to navigate complex feelings.
Approach
My work follows the ways early attachments and identity shape present relationships, attending closely to what you feel and notice here and now. In San Francisco I see clients in English and online, and sessions often move between memory, emotion, and current relational moments at a measured, exploratory pace. Together we trace links among past wounds, cultural pressures, and sexual identity to everyday choices, using reflective dialogue and occasional deeper analysis between meetings. This way of working tends to help adolescents, couples, and older adults seeking clearer relational sense and steadier self-understanding.
