If you find yourself feeling disconnected, panicked, or frozen in the face of change, adversity, or responsibility, therapy can help. At Philosophical and Cognitive Therapy (PACT), we work with individuals in San Francisco to explore life’s challenges, build insight and awareness, and foster personal growth. Our virtual therapy services make it easy to access personalized support from anywhere in the city or the Bay Area.
San Francisco is an ever-evolving, dynamic city, leading many residents to feel overwhelmed, lost, or isolated. PACT allows you to explore emotional difficulties, gain insight, and develop meaningful strategies for growth and deeper life satisfaction with the guidance and support of a highly experienced therapist.
Anxiety can be experienced as a constant state of worry, dread, restlessness, impulsivity, or avoidance. We can help you understand the roots of your anxiety and find an approach to living with life’s uncertainties that is better attuned to your goals, emotional well-being, and the person you want to be.
Many individuals grapple with questions of meaning, purpose, and responsibility, especially when facing unavoidable suffering, change, and mortality. Whether you're experiencing a life transition or an existential crisis, we help you thoughtfully explore themes such as freedom and responsibility, meaning and purpose, isolation and connection, authenticity and self-understanding, and more to cultivate insight into yourself, others, and the world around you. Often, the byproduct of this personal growth is a more satisfying and meaning-filled life with fewer emotional disturbances and a greater sense of connection to the values and people you care about.
Relationships – romantic, familial, and professional – impact and give meaning to our lives. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and philosophical counseling help you examine the underlying patterns and perspectives that influence your interactions, navigate conflicts with greater self-and-other awareness, and cultivate more authentic and fulfilling relationships.
San Francisco’s demanding work culture, driven by tech innovation and entrepreneurship, presents unmatched challenges with burnout and work stress. The pressure to constantly outperform and innovate can lead to stress, burnout, and questioning what truly matters. We help individuals explore personal challenges, clarify their values, and gain insight into what they find meaningful.
At Philosophical and Cognitive Therapy (PACT), we offer a distinctive approach that integrates philosophical counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This unique blend helps you gain deeper self-understanding and make meaningful choices.
