Title: Recommendations for a Therapist in the SF Bay Area
Post by: Constance on March 23, 2010, 12:01:57 PM
Does anyone have any recommendations for a gender therapist in the SF Bay Area?

Preferably, said therapist would be on the west side of the Bay, as my transportation options are limited. Even more preferably, the therapist would be in Sili Valley.

I know she does not fall in your geo specs (she's in Marin) but the three people I know who have gone to her swear she is the most best awesome thing ever.
