Our services
Sessions for individuals, couples and families of adults, in person in San Francisco or by video for people in California, where Dr. Hairston is licensed.
Individual therapy
One-on-one sessions for adults who want a place to think out loud. We use talk therapy, drawing on cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness skills, and I explain each before we try it.
