Therapists at New Perspectives in San Francisco Will Help You Keep Depression, Anxiety or Relationship Issues from Taking Control of Your Life. New Perspectives Center for Counseling is open and serving the community. However, in accordance with San Francisco Public Health order requiring residents to stay at home, we are pausing in-person face to face sessions and instead conducting telehealth psychotherapy sessions until further notice.
We will follow Public Health guidelines to determine when to resume usual in-person sessions. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. If you are currently a client here, your therapist will be contacting you regarding setting up telehealth sessions. If you are looking to become a client here, we are still conducting telephone intakes and will do our best to match you with a therapist from our staff.
In the event that this is not possible, we will provide you with referrals to help you find the support that you need. We will be in touch shortly.
