Melinda Gottesman, PsyD Adolescents and Adults Psychotherapy
Professional Statement
I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area. I received my doctorate from the Wright Institute and specialize in working with adults and adolescents. My approach is psychodynamic, meaning that I focus not just on symptoms, but the underlying causes of behavior. I want to know not just what, but why—why you may be feeling down, or anxious, or have difficulty connecting with others. My therapeutic style is warm, nurturing, and engaged. I encourage you to speak freely about whatever comes to mind and, together, we will find your pathway to long-lasting freedom, growth, and joy.
