Golden Gate Integral Counseling Center

Specialties

The Golden Gate Integral Counseling Center is dedicated to offering high-​quality, affordable psychotherapy and counseling to individuals, couples, and families. The center provides a supportive and inclusive environment and services designed to facilitate healing during times of emotional stress, confusion, and pain.

We can assist with relationship and family struggles, grief and loss, trauma, depression, and anxiety, as well as the exploration of spirituality and personal identity, life transitions, personal growth, and questions of sexuality and/​or gender identity.

Our therapists’ approaches are tailored to each unique client and recognize the desire of individuals to find answers within themselves. We provide caring, professional psychotherapy and counseling in a relationship of trust and respect. The foundation of our practice is an integral model, in that we see each person as essentially whole and include all aspects of the person in the healing process.

History

Established in 2006.

Golden Gate Integral Counseling Center is one of three counseling centers staffed with graduate students of California Institute of Integral Studies. The counseling centers of CIIS have been offering leading-​edge, mind-​body-​spirit psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families in the Bay Area for more than 25 years, providing a safe and supportive setting in which clients can explore a wide range of life issues — emotional, interpersonal, psychological, or spiritual.

Our therapists are well trained in a variety of therapeutic orientations: somatic, transpersonal, psychodynamic, and Gestalt, as well as more conventional modes of psychotherapy. Because our therapists integrate Western psychology with knowledge from the world’s spiritual traditions, the counseling provided in our centers is unique and respects the specific growth and healing process of each individual.
