Leora Fulvio, MA, MFT

Specialties

I specialize in treating eating disorders, relationship issues, couples, fertility issues, new moms & dads, and pregnancy & postpartum issues. Currently, I am only utilizing online therapy and seeing people on Skype, over the phone or other teleconferencing methods. Though it is a non-​traditional approach to therapy, people sometimes enjoy the convenience and flexibility of seeing someone from the comfort of their office or home.

I offer both long-​term and short-​term psychotherapy.

In terms of traditional long-​term psychotherapy, I offer an Eclectic Integrative approach which includes mindfulness, hypnotherapy, somatic therapy and a spiritual or mind/​body approach mixed with psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies. Basically, I try to work with you to find what what will resonate and be most helpful for you.

Short term, solution based therapy is more about working on one particular problem that needs attention. You can call em on an as-​needed basis.

Sometimes people come in for a one-​off hypnotherapy session rather than long term therapy for specific issues. Some want to access their wise minds to find answers to questions that they might have, some want to uncover inner courage or confidence or give up a habit. Some just want a relaxing experience.

History

Established in 2006.

I began as a hypnotherapist in 1999, and then in 2003, began graduate school at CIIS to pursue my degree in Psychology. I knew that hypnotherapy was incredibly healing for people, but at some point, I felt unprepared for some of the deeper issues that would arise during sessions. I paused my hypnotherapy practice while I continued through graduate school with the intention that I would integrate it with my psychotherapy practice when I became a licensed therapist.

San Francisco is fortunate to have many talented, compassionate therapists. It’s important that you find someone who resonates for you and gives you what you need. I definitely recommend talking to many different therapists until you find someone who feels right to you.

Business Owner

I am a psychotherapist specializing in working with women’s issues, binge eating, bulimia, food & body image issues, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, codependency and self-​esteem issues. I see couples as well. I am currently only utilizing telehealth also known as online therapy, which means therapy via phone, Skype and other teleconferencing methods. Although it is certainly different to see clients via Skype and phone, I find it to be both effective and extremely time efficient, giving the client a great deal of flexibility to do therapy in the middle of the day from their office if they need to or in the evening by phone.

I am also the author of Reclaiming Yourself from Binge Eating: A Step-​by-​Step Guide to Healing available in bookstore or on Amazon.
